Week 7 GDT - Falcons Come For Revenge

[mcmurtry86]

Interesting using Lewis to close out the game given his durability and ball security issues

Good win... defense took a step forward.

What a complete win. Best outing all year by far. The offense could have finished in the redzone better, but overall you can't complain to much. The pass was working, the run game was working, and the defense was stellar.

Sloppy penalties and lack of finish on offense would be my nitpicks.

Can't complain too much though, 5-2 and coming off their best performance of the year. Hopefully, they'll build some momentum going into a very tough stretch of games

[Pats#1]

Defense looked much better (not saying much but still), and offense while still sporadic, looked good as well.

 

This was a huge win with how the Bills and Miami games went.

Best part of the game?

Brady:  29 attempts

Running game: 36 attempts, 4.5 YPC, 162 yards.

Tbf Brady had some of those yards.

Home vs Chargers should be a layup.  Home vs Raiders should be a comfortable win.  @Broncos is going to be moderately tough just because of mile high, but the real test is going to be @Bills, @ Dolphins and @ Steelers in three consecutive weeks.    IMO those three weeks will determine the AFC playoff seeding for us.

Isnt the Raider game in Mexico?

The Dolphins schedule is brutal going forward Ravens, Raiders, Panthers, Bucs, Pats, Broncos, Pats, Bills,Chiefs, Bills.

They'll win maybe 3 of those.

Buffalo will likely end up 8-8 or 9-7. Their D will win them some games but their offense is dreadful.

The Raiders game is in Mexico, it's not a home game.

Chargers aren't too bad and probably better than Tampa Bay or Carolina who weren't exactly easy games. I expect New England to win next Sunday, but LA isn't a "layup" IMO. Lots of talent and a fierce pass rush.

Not sure I agree with the Chargers being a layup. It looks like a tough schedule coming up. Getting to the bye 6-2 would be great, and even better if we come out the other side healthy.

While I'm pumped about this win....I cant look at any game as a layup.

Weirdest season ever.

Chargers were in my dark horse wildcard pool going into this season, but they've been really disappointing.  If we don't win comfortably at home.  I'd be concerned.

I mean...they're a better kicker away from being 5-2....they've played pretty well this year and if their kicking situation is settled (unknown), they're going to be a playoff contender.

I don't expect a "comfortable" win against any playoff contending team with this year's Pats team. At least, not until they can put together a few complete games in a row.

[biggbrd]

Defense giving up 12.6 points/game over the last 3 games is encouraging, especially given the Bucs and Falcons are good offenses.

Bosa and Ingram are monsters on the edge, but that's just about all I think the Chargers have going for them going into the game.   I think we should be able to contain them.

I think they can game plan around that with some quick passes. Brady should be able to slice them up off their blitz
