Jamaal Anderson has been fairly disappointing in my opinion. He does not yet have a sack, although he has started every game, and has really only made one play, being a forced fumble against the Jaguars. I understand that the coaching staff wants him to focus primarily at stopping the run, which he is doing a decent job at, but the lack of a pass rush in obvious passing situations and lack of play-making is troubling. Still, being a young, raw, project type DE out of college I am still willing to give the team the benefit of the doubt on that pick. It is still extremely frustrating that we were only a pick away from A Peterson and could have easily traded up for him, yet failed to do so.

Chris Houston has been solid in his limited playing time, but I think he has only just begun starting so it is tough to tell.

So who do you guys think Coach Sunshine is going to play this week? Broke legged Leftwich or the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL Harrington?

At least it's going to be on TV this week. Hopefully Dunn and the defense keeps playing like they have.

You realize that if the Falcons win today they will be 1 game out of the division lead?

Makes that [censored] Matt Prater abortion in Jacksonville and the other close losses a little more ugh.

Yeah that's amazing. Unfortunately that just shows how bad the NFC South really is. Who knew N.O. would tank like they have.

Thanks Meangelo for the Carolina blowup too. Todays game could be for the division lead otherwise. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Leftwich should play. Harrington just can not throw the ball downfield unless absolutely forced, and the one half that leftwich played this year was the best QB play we have had. Don't get me wrong, he will be injured again and harrington will have to come back in at some point, but until that happens, give it to the guy that can throw a football 20 yards.

I take back everything I said about Leftwich. HE SUCKS!!!!

[Borgland]

WTF is going on in this game. I feel like we should be hearing that Benny Hill music.

[leehrat]

Can someone tell Leftwich that he isn't a baseball pitcher?

[Borgland]

The Falcons played the greatest 1st quarter of football they played all year. That is all. Probably.
