excuses... The 3rd preseason game is the dress rehearsal for the regular season, where the starters usually play most of the 3rd and treat it like a regular season game.

The Falcons were no exception, the starters played the first half and some of the third. And scored what 9 points in the first half, against the dolphins... lol

Typically, the third game is a confidence builder game. Think the falcons 1st stringers were confident coming out of that game?

And why do you think they went vanilla, isn't the whole point of changing the offense to become more dynamic? Why would they go vanilla in their last real chance to practice against another team?

MS said they didn't want to give away too much before week 1. I'm taking his word for it. Our play-calling should be a bit different in the regular season. We weren't showing our hand. Come week one, we should be fine.

Honest question...

If they weren't practicing their normal offense, why play the starters into the second half? Seems they would just be risking injury to their starters for no reason. And you'd think since the first big roster cuts come Monday, they might wanna get to see more of the bubble guys.
