But it seems the bucs left after their first possension and never came back lol

In all seriousness they cant stop the run
Rhonda Barber is their only db worth a shit and yes he can still lay a hit on a person
I see Matty Ice having a field day

Their young QB gets rattled easy with pressure and loses has acuracy issues

I dont think the falcons are going to have a problem with running or passing

And your DE’s should be able to have a field day against their OL

Assuming your D is up to the pressure of putting pressure on Freeman, then you should be OK. But he wasn’t compared to Big Ben by the commentators for nothing. His passing skills aren’t awesome, but not horrible. He’s a tall, strong feller. And he scrambles very well. If your DBs hold up in coverage when he tries to scramble and/or your rushers stay VERY disciplined and keep him in the pocket, you’ll probably do OK. Let him out of the pocket to extend plays and you’ll see a Ben clone look just like the below-average QB both are yet still manage to tear you a new one.

1. closing out the run game and making freeman feel the pressure to win is a must
      any team with a solid ground game has a much better chance of making things happen offensively
2. be awesome (reference: barney stinson)

sorry that’s all i have right now

Carolina, with Delhomme and the gangsta-balla S. Smith, are P.E. #1 in my book.

I think one answer to your question is to punch them in the mouth, so to speak That game was very interesting in that it opened up with Tampa driving 94 yards for a TD. We responded on the next possession by jamming it down their throats for a touchdown ourselves, and then scored 37 unanswered points. It seemed to me they lost the will to fight after losing the lead so fast. Like Carolina, that team is not built to come from behind.

That said, I hope they stomp the dog@#$% out of ya’ll…

but we need you to lose.

If we beat the Patriots and the Bucs beat y’all, we clinch the NFC south.

But—for this season at least—the Vikings have beaten you out for “NFC team I hate the most.” Seriously, I’m so sick of hearing about how great they are, how old Favre is, etc. Look at their schedule thus far and name ONE quality win: Browns, Detroit x2, Green Bay x2, San Fran, St Louis, Baltimore, Seattle. I guess you could argue the Ravens, but they missed a game-winning field goal that game, and they haven’t been particularly impressive this season.

but, if you still want my advice, the way you beat them is to score more points than them ( LOL)

All the Falcons need to do is show up !!! I see no resistance. Especially if Turner can go. He can have a field day.

Relax, have a few beers. Enjoy the game. You’ve got no worries….

If you go back to last week’s thread you will see someone i forgot who laid out the perfect game plan to beat the buc’s

“dont drink to much the night before”

that could have been the rams though

But not much more than that. Like most rookies, if you get him frustrated he is only going to get worse. Malcolm Jenkins got a pick because Antonio Bryant ran a lazy route and after that Freeman was almost throwing the ball right to our guys. Get to him early and he won’t keep himself together.

You’re like the houseguest that never leaves, lol.

You need to get pressure from your front four actually. Once Freeman sees pressure coming, yet still has 7 dropped back into coverage, it could get ugly quick.

If Turner is back, I don’t see any issues on offense. Just keep Matt on his feet.

A Falcons fan asking Saints fans for tips on how to win? Well, first of all, preparation, film study, dedication to the most minute detail. Put your 3rd and 4th string CB’s in, your 3rd and 4th string DT’s in and also put a backup in at FS. Have one of your CB’s get injured and leave the game and have to scramble your Backup FS to the CB position and play your secondary by ear through the rest of the game. Should be a cakewalk.

Seriously, it takes a wide variety to step up the way that the Saints did. Your O-Line will need to be on point. No slip ups allowed. “Matty Ice” has had a little trouble lately, and it happens to everyone. He will have to put his game face on and step up. I don’t believe in Sophmore Slumps, but it almost seems as if he is trying to prove that theory is valid. He has got to make his reads quickly, release the ball quickly, and he will have to trust in his receivers to come down with the ball. He has stacked talent with great hands, but they have to get the target to come down with it. Avoid Barber in the secondary or he could possibly make you wish you were playing the highscool down the street instead.

The receiver/TE corps has to give him a good reason to target them. If he throws to a receiver and they drop it, a little bit of trust is gone, and he will target them less and less when they drop the ball. They will also need to pick up good YAC. It is critical to get those 1st downs when the opportunity presents itself.

The Falc’s have a great RB department. With Turner, Norwood, Snelling, and even Stecker. If for any reason the top dogs are still inactive next week, Snelling and Stecker can definitely handle the load.

The defense will need to bring the pain. Pass rushing is a must, but stop the run as early as possible. Give them no choice but to air it out. Freeman is a rookie, and he makes the rookie mistakes that every other rookie QB has made this year. If ATL can jump out to a quick lead, this will limit the run as well. If you see the secondary having to tackle their RB’s, then you are in for a long day. Keep 3rd downs long. Once the run is eliminated, bring pressure swiftly and heavily against the young QB. When you put a lineman or a LB in his face, just wait for the INT to happen.

I was so shocked to see one of the Saints reporters or bloggers (can’t remember which) give what I thought was very good advice on HOW TO BEAT THE SAINTS!!!!! While I am a little less upset about giving info on how to beat a 1/8 competitor, it just seems wrong to give advice on how to beat your own team! I’m sure the thought was that, “well, whatever I know, I’m sure the competitor knows”. Big mistake! They can’t watch a team week in and week out, like we do. That’s just nuts!!!

With Turner not being 100%, , concentrate on shutting down the pass…..

Ooops, I mean, uh Good luck with Freeman!
