Re: Falcons win but struggle
They had the longest active losing streak of preseason games in the NFL.

Re: Falcons win but struggle
They struggled but you know.......
That was just Miami. What they got in the NFC is going to be tougher than that. |

Re: Falcons win but struggle
We went in to that game with a vanilla gameplan. MS even said so before the game. We didn't even go no huddle.

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 |

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? |

Re: Falcons win but struggle
Who is MS?
I dont believe for a minute the Falcons went Vanilla. I honestly dont believe they have went Vanilla all preseason and that is probably why they only got 9 pts when the 1st string was in there. |
