  Falcons Report

So I have a bunch to post here just waiting on some pictures, mainly bday jam stuff. Anyways as a part of my birthday this year my wonderful and amazing wife bought me Falcons SEASON TICKETS! I was truly dumbfounded, to say the least. 10 games - 2 preseason & 8 regular season. Hot damn, season tickets to my favorite team, feelin' right!

Last night was the first game against the Bengals. This picture here is a view from our seats. Yesterday was a really weird time to be in Atlanta, and it seemed like this game was the center of the circus! Timing of it was nuts, Monday Night game the same day as the admission of guilt! Crazy. That being said, people were out and loud supporting the team after a day when their star said, yes i fucking did it. A lot of Vick jerseys were seen, & some vocal supporters on the trains into the game were heard. What amazed me most though about the game was the excitement for the team. GASP! THE FALCONS LOOKED GOOD LAST NIGHT! And the fans let them hear it! The attendance was moderately high, but not nearly fully - I chalk that up to it being a Monday night and preseason, but the fans were loud. I know its preseason, and I'm hyping my team, but shit its not like they were playing the Raiders - this was the Bengals - one of the most highly potent offenses in the league. All the starters played through the middle of the third quarter and the Falcons lead that entire time. Dunn went out early after getting hit hard on his second run attempt (i think), Crumpler was getting warmed up and had a few great catches with great yardage after the catch, and I'll be god damned but Joey Harrington showed the fuck up. He could have easily left that game in the 3rd quarter with 3 touchdown passes on the night. WTF! The third was a dropped ball by White that was placed perfectly by Harrington deep in the corner of the endzone, IN THE HANDS of White. He better get stickier gloves thats for damn sure. The crowd let him hear it after the drop (his main problem last year which he promised he fixed in the off season). Harrington's second TD pass was to Norwood in the flat and after an acrobatic sideline whip around to stay in bounds, Jerious high stepped in for a pretty TD. Ocho Cinco also racked up about 85 yards receiving and a pretty TD for some preseason BRAH points.

The defense looked fairly solid as well for going up against a beast like that. Abraham shut down Rudi several times, D Hall played alright against CJ, but got burned several times as well (guess the haircut reading "I Own #85" didnt really work) but he'll warm up. Kicking sucked, they tried two really long field goal attempts one missing over 50 yards by inches, the other shanked horribly.

So I'd like to post something after every game we go to this year, next one being Friday against the Ravens. Right now the worst the Falcons can do is 2-2 in the preseason - best 3-1, not shabby. Still preseason, I know so you cant get too excited. I know Harrington is going to throw his picks this year, but if he stays level headed and shows streaks of brilliance like last night, AND THE RECEIVERS CATCH THE DAMN BALL, things could be a little better than what everyone is expecting.

Oh yeah and most importantly, MY WIFE RULES!
