I wonder to what charity Smitty is going to contribute $15k?

“Smitty” – man it’s cool to have a coach with a nickname.

The Falcons are Fine. Their needs are for Turner to be Turner and run the ball more effectively. Secondly, they need another “glue”handed receiver to compliment White and Tony G. Ryan, I would not trade for ANYONE. The birds are building, continue to impress and WILL be soon be knocking off teams that they have to beat.

Think back and how far we have come.

ScottBravesFan — I still look at Cowboys and see Wade Phillips and Tony Romo and think: fail.

10-6 and we get into the playoffs by beating the Eagles.

I think Dallas is going to win the NFC East. I don’t think the Eagles are all that good and neither are the Giants.

GDG73 — Turner ran great. Ran harder, hit hole faster and cut better than he had all year.

Schultz, did Turner run hard enough for you?

Not looking too good on the injury report:

Hypothetically speaking, Falcons all banged up

The Falcons didn’t practice Wednesday, but, if they had about a quarter of the team would have been out with injuries.

Don’t read too much into this yet because it’s just one of those weird things that comes along every now and then when NFL rules and reality get tangled together. Even though the Falcons, who played Monday night, did not take the practice field Wednesday, they had to file an official injury report.

So how do they determine who “practiced’’ and who did not? They have to estimate. They put out a list of 12 guys who they said would not have practiced if the team had practiced.

Defensive end John Abraham (foot), defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux (ankle), offensive tackle Sam Baker (ankle), receiver Brian Finneran (ankle), defensive tackle Thomas Johnson (calf), linebacker Curtis Lofton (knee/ankle), running back Jerious Norwood (hip), long-snapper Mike Schneck (ribs), running back Jason Snelling (hamstring), receiver Eric Weems (ankle), receiver Roddy White (knee) and tight end Keith Zinger (back) would not have practiced — if there had been practice.

Some very significant names on that list. But don’t get too worried just yet. Remember, this is only an estimate. The real test will come Thursday when the Falcons really practice and we find out how many of these guys practiced.

I notice you have the Eagles as the projected winner of the NFC east…as a Falcons fan I want Dallas to win the East….Dallas next 2 games are against Philly and GB….I hope they win both of those games…Atlanta plays Philly so we can win that game and have that tie breaker….there is so much football left…..it’s fun to talk about…let’s beat Washington

These sorry Falcons couldn’t beat the Eagles if they spotted them 2 touch downs – Lay off of the crack buddy.

Eagles 45

Falcons 17
