Falcons show why expectations should be tempered
I'm sure you recognize the face on the cover of Sports Illustrated's NFL preview issue, which says something about expectation level.
It was easy to forget, amid the defensive ruin and Charles Dimry flashbacks, that the Falcons actually won an exhibition game the other night against San Diego.
Thomas Dimitroff barely noticed.
“The third preseason game is very important in terms of setting a tone,” the Falcons’ general manager said. “That’s what was unfortunate about that game.”
Game 4 wasn’t much better. The Falcons lost to Baltimore on Thursday night, 20-3. The preseason reaffirmed what we already knew: This team will go as far as Matt Ryan and the offense carry them, because it won’t be the defense.
It’s easy to get drunk off one great season. The Falcons went 11-5 last season. Unexpected 11-win seasons lead to meteoric expectation levels. Some now believe 11 wins is the standard, rather than partly the residue of overachievement and a soft schedule.
But there was a lesson learned the other night. Several players didn’t perform to the levels that Dimitroff and coach Mike Smith had hoped. And by perform, we’re not referring to talent, but focus and effort. Those are two things the Falcons never lacked last season.
Want to see how quickly 11-5 turns into 5-11? This is the NFL. Start to think you’re better than you really are and watch how quickly the bottom falls out. That won’t play with Smith, who coached tough and physical defenses in Jacksonville. It certainly won’t play with Dimitroff, who came from an organization, New England, where the sum almost always exceeded the seeming value of the parts.
Baltimore fullback Jason Cook burns Chris Houston for a touchdown catch, another bad sign for the defense. (Curtis Compton/ccompton@ajc.com)
Asked what he was looking for in the team’s final dress rehearsal, Dimitroff didn’t hesitate: “I really want to see the second- and third-team players rise up. I want them to go into this with an element of poise. I want them to show that no matter where they are on the depth chart, they need to produce and they need to play with a sense of urgency. I’m speaking more of the defense.”
He also could have been speaking of the No. 1 defense. There are problems. Ten of the 11 starters were on the field in the first quarter — John Abraham being the notable exception — when the defense was schooled by the Ravens’ third-string quarterback, John Beck. Five days after San Diego backup Billy Volek (7-for-9, 102 yards, one touchdown) had a 150.9 quarterback rating against them, Beck engineered a 14-play, eight-minute, 91-yard touchdown drive on the Ravens’ first possession. That set the tone for the night.
Beck went 5-for-5 for 50 yards and a touchdown. (Rating: 147.9) I’m sure it was a very proud moment for Mr. and Mrs. Beck.
Dimitroff wants what he saw in New England — tough, physical, smart defensive players. The Falcons may get there eventually, but that’s not the team they have now.
Drawing conclusions from exhibitions always is risky. Certainly, two national publications look at the Falcons’ offense and expect that to translate to wins. Sporting News, the same outlet that projected a 1-15 record last season, this year predicts a run to the NFC title game. Sports Illustrated just put Ryan on the cover of its NFL preview issue, and picks Atlanta to win the NFC South (but lose in the first round to Green Bay).
A year ago at this time, most tabbed Atlanta to finish any where from last place to possibly having a chance to win six games (only if everything went right and Smith didn’t suddenly decide in Week 3 that he wanted to coach Arkansas). We got so much more than that.
Now expectations might be out of balance in the other direction. But if things go terribly wrong, at least we’ll know why.

I think Vick plays for Philly – maybe you should go on their blogs if you want to discuss a former player.
Now, lets discuss NOODLE ARM, since he is the leader of the team.
Everybody blamed the tightends for his struggles in the redzone, so TD signs a hall of famer and once again he struggles in the redzone – who is to blame this time?
If it smells like a NOODLE ARM
If it walks like a NOODLE ARM
If it throws like a NOODLE ARM
Then folks – it must be a NOODLE ARM

It’s apparent the truth is not something you are used to doing. You quoted Vick had a 35 yard loss.
Interesting. If the line of scrimmage is the 22-yard line and you are down on the 2 yard line, how does that equate to 35 yards?
I know crack destroys the brain, but in the real world, that is a 20 yard loss, so how did you come up with 35 yards?
Let me guess – it’s another attempt to fabricate the truth to paint a worst picture, even if it’s a flat out lie.
Just like the 4 sacks that he had – explain to me why a sack is the quarterback’s fault.

You and PMC needs to stop smoking that crack
There is no way Vick is getting cut!
The Commissioner is not going to watch all those number 7 jerseys walk away. The commissioner personally ordered the Eagles to sign him. The commissioner has shown Vick so much favortism it’s funny
As far as Vick being done, there is no qb in the history of the NFL that can miss 2.5 years of inactivity, no OTAs, no TRAINING CAMP, walk onto a field with 2 weeks and take the football field.
If a washed up qb can scramble for 16 & 11 yards while not being in football shape, then Matt Ryan needs to miss 10 seasons
As I write this blog, I’m watching NFL Live, and they are raving how well his ROCKET ARM, not NOODLE ARM (like someone else) and quickness will only get better once he gets into football shape.
Don’t worry, you will see how washed up he is on………

Bad News, you might have a point, the NFL might keep him on a roster so they can sell jerseys to all the morons out there. I am sure it is the same guy spends $300 on a Jersey, but then can’t pay their mortgages
However, he was once among the fastests runners in the NFL, his foot speed is gone, and that is what seperated him from any other QB. Foot speed has nothing to do with playing or not playing. I would love to see he 40 time.
Arm stregnth is over rated, Look no further than Jeff George and Joe Montana.
Bottom line, unless he can transform into a passer who excels at reading defenses, he is done. My guess is he is too stupid to develop, and I have a lot of facts to back that up.
Just keeping it real.

Vick had a lot of god give talents, formost he speed.
However, he smoked pot, did not work overly hard to train (as he admitted), and now that he is 30, it all caught up with him. he used to run like Barry Sanders, now he runs like Verron Haynes.
Playing football has nothing to do with speed, either you have it, or not. Once it is gone, it will never come back. You could kind of see it in 05 and 06, he had lost a step, now he has lost about 4.
He had world class speed, but he had low rent habits (smoking weed, fight dogs), and it all caught up with him.
He will go down in lore as the Mike Tyson of QBs.

I saw on tv last night how Vick was gushing with joy about being reinstated. Then he goes out and fumbles twice and literally stinks up the field with his poor and pathetic play. Vick is a wanna be, mediocre no-talent bum who is milking the NFL for his employment. He should be a garbage truck driver making his money honestly without taking advantage of his fans who are paying to see him literally steal their money.

ESPN SAYS (Sorry guys
):
25. NFC South (order of finish)
Gene’s NFC South picks1.
New Orleans Saints — Two stats to remember: No team in the NFC South has ever won consecutive division titles, and in the previous seven seasons, five South teams have won the division after finishing last the year before.
The Saints finished last in 2008 with an 8-8 record, but they have an offense to die for and a new defensive coordinator (Gregg Williams) who should make a difference, and they play in a division that is available for the taking.
Brees and his 5,069 yards (65 percent completions on 635 attempts!) weren’t the problem; injuries and a crummy defense were (ranked 23rd in total defense, 23rd in pass defense). They also lost three games by three points, so 8-8 could have been 11-5.
Atlanta Falcons — NFL history suggests the Falcons won’t be able to repeat their successes of 2008, when they finished 11-5 with a rookie quarterback (Matt Ryan) and reached the playoffs. But I’m a big believer in Matty Ice, love the acquisition of Hall of Famer-to-be Gonzalez and don’t see any reason why Michael Turner can’t put up another 1,700-yard, 15-plus-rushing-TD season.
The defense is sketchy, especially in the secondary (the Falcons just traded for cornerback Tye Hill from the St. Louis Rams). And it would be nice if left defensive end Jamaal Anderson, their first-round pick of two years ago, would, you know, start making quarterbacks uncomfortable. He had only two sacks in 2008 and took the oh-fer as a rookie.
And yet, I pretend not to notice those things. I’m not saying they’re going to win 11 again, but no way do they fade into the world of sub-.500.
Carolina Panthers — The stat about no repeat winners in the NFC South? The Panthers won the division in 2008.
This isn’t a team without talent (Steve Smith, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, an experienced offensive line, Julius Peppers, good linebackers, head coach John Fox), but there are soft spots. Quarterback Jake Delhomme has to do better than the 15 TDs/12 INTs ratio of 2008 (and a blah-ish 59.4 completion percentage). The O-line lacks depth. The defense was 20th against the run, 16th against the pass.
Tampa Bay Bucs — The Bucs’ 9-7 record in 2008 is going to seem like the good old days after this season. Whatever they’re paying first-year head coach Raheem Morris, it isn’t going to be enough.
Derrick Ward, Jeff Faine, Antonio Bryant and Kellen Winslow are keepers, but this is a roster in major transition (and so is the coaching staff — they just canned their O-coordinator). And as in recent years, the quarterback position isn’t anything special (Byron Leftwich is the opening-game starter). Killer schedule, too.

ESPN SAYS (NFC EAST):
Note: Pay close attention to the comment about VICK will give defensive coordinators the SHAKES….. I love when (PAID) brains know what they are talking about
16. NFC East (order of finish)
Gene’s NFC East picks1.
New York Giants — I blew off the G-Men last year and they mocked me with a 12-4 record. Tom Coughlin might not be Mr. Warmth, but he’s a helluva coach and makes in-game adjustments better than just about anyone in his business.
The Giants are still looking for a playmaker wide receiver, but not much else. They’re as fancy as white bread, but they do the things that win games and win this division: run the ball, control the lines of scrimmage, control the clock.
Philadelphia Eagles — Two words: Brian Westbrook. If he stays healthy, the Eagles could easily win the division. If he doesn’t, then Philly is going to sweat out a playoff spot.
Westbrook just turned 30 and he’s never played all 16 games of a season. (Which explains why the Eagles drafted Pitt running back LeSean McCoy in the second round.) And in each of his last three years his yards per carry have decreased, from 5.1 in 2006, to 4.8 in 2007, to 4.0 in 2008. That’s still a respectable number — and you could argue that his real value is as a receiver out of the backfield — but the Eagles need a vintage Westbrook in 2009 if they want to finish ahead of the Giants and Cowboys.
What do I think of Michael Vick’s arrival? When he comes back (he’s eligible to play in Week 3), Vick will give defensive coordinators the shakes.
Dallas Cowboys — The Cowboys are also looking for a playmaker wide receiver and, like the Giants, not much else. Roy Williams is supposed to be that guy, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Owens and his 10 TDs of a season ago are in Buffalo now, but so is his massive ego and divisive nature. Tight end Jason Witten had as many 100-plus-yard games as Owens last year (two). Owens also had eight games in which his reception yardage totaled 38 or less. I’m not saying Owens’ production won’t be missed, but he simply wasn’t worth the trouble anymore. Same goes for Pacman Jones.
There’s a lot to like about this version of the Cowboys, beginning with the tag team of running backs Marion Barber and Felix Jones, and a refocused Tony Romo at quarterback. Witten and Martellus Bennett create matchup problems at tight end. And the defense will be more than solid. A semi-soft first-half schedule gives Dallas a chance at a 6-2 record. Game No. 9 is a rematch at Philadelphia, site of the Cowboys’ 2008 season-ending, curl-into-a-ball-and-get-whupped 44-6 game.
Washington Redskins — If 2009 Albert Haynesworth plays as hard as 2008 Albert Haynesworth, then the Redskins will cause problems for lots of teams. Causing problems doesn’t necessarily translate into wins, though. Six of their final seven games are toughies: at Dallas, at Philly, New Orleans, New York Giants, Dallas, at San Diego.

People, I have been saying “Falcons will be 4-12 in 2009″ since February, because of the problems your defense is having and because during the regular season the Falcons offense have to prove that they can make the adjustment from what opposing defenses was doing to them late last season. If Matt Ryan cannot stretch the field with the deep passes and the deep out passes then it will severely limit your offense. Matt Ryan was very successful with that little comeback pattern to the sidelines last year but, after the opposing teams started to play more press coverage it took that play away from the Falcons. The key to your season is that first game, if you lose that one you will start the season 0-3 and going to SF on the 4th game will be no easy task.
Falcons will be 4-12 in 2009
“Back To Life, Back To Reality”
But don’t be bandwagon fans, I am a Falcons hater, you can be realistic about what you think your team will do thats fine, but “ride or die” with them bud if that is truly your team. don’t be fair weather fans that is why your franchise have never been consistent. You all have never had realistic points of view about your teams status and demanded that the management correct those problems in efforts to win a SUPER BOWL. Because ultimately winning the Super Bowl is the only satisfactory ending to a season for the organization and its fans.

If Matt Ryan is a noodle arm then what is Chad pennington? he cant even throw the ball 25 yards downfield. I dare to say it but, even Chris Houston can cover what he throws. Bottom line is Falcons offense is excellent. While our defense is average and the secondary being mediocre with the exception of coleman.

I’m confused about how this is supposed to be BAD NEWS if the analysis said the Falcons are not likely to go below the .500 level. Apparently somebody is a moron for posting this and saying “sorry Falcon fans” because above .500 level is a winning season. BAD NEWS is right, crack kills brain cells and does it quickly. Who cares if the post Vick era has the same record as the last 3 seasons with Vick. I would rather have the Falcons have consecutive winning seasons. HOW MANY CONSECUTIVE WINNING SEASONS DID THE FALCONS HAVE DURING THE VICK ERA. Yeah thought so. Come on BAD NEWS answer that question. Oh and for the comparison to be complete, lets go with Vick’s real last three seasons. ONe was actually on the football field. Two were in prison. Maybe that should be included in the so called post Vick Era. And whoever said Ryan Leaf had a noodle arm is an outright idiot. His arm strength was one of the most hyped things about him when he came out of college. Get your facts straight you jack legged goat chaser.
