No. 1: Dig in. The Falcons aren't into disguises on offense. It's Michael Turner and plenty of him. They know it, the Broncos know it, and to win this one, the Broncos will need one of their best efforts along the defensive front. If Atlanta controls the clock and the ball, the Broncos don't win.

I got the Falcons winning this game.

People have been underestimating the Falcons D all season long. They can play.

Matt Ryan is Mr. efficient and Turner should have a big day.

i am very worried about this game. Denver's run D stinks, as we all know. They are just so injured its not even funny. we'll see how it goes.

Well the LAWDOG (Matt Ryan) version of an athlete will be playing your Broncos this week man. You can't root against yourself.

Denver's run D stinks equally against all though. Why be any more afraid of Atlanta if we can make the scrubs look great? I think our problem is way less with run D than with pass D. Can Atlanta hit its backs and ends? cause our safeties can't cover them. I think that's the issue.

I think that Roddy White just might have a field day in this game. Jenkins seems to be getting better as well. If I were the Broncos I would probably double up on White a lot and make Ryan beat them by throwing to Jenkins and see if Jenkins can be consistent.

If I were the Falcons I would try and get Norwood involved in that passing game as well.

The only thing we do okay against is wide receivers. I'm considerably more afraid of Jerious Norwood than Roddy White or Mike Jenkins. Its always the TEs, and backs in the passing game and the running game that beat us. And in that order, I think.
