Good morning. Need coffee.

I fully expect to see better football and fewer turnovers today than I witnessed last night in Athens. Georgia and Georgia Tech will go to low-tier bowl games — and those are gifts. The Falcons (8-2) and Green Bay (7-3) are two of the NFL’s top teams and could be on track to meet for the NFC title and the Super Bowl berth.

It may take me a few cups of coffee to get me going this morning. I left Athens at 1:45 a.m., got home at 3 a.m., crawled into bed at 3:30 a.m. But I’m in a climate controlled stadium and looking at a 1 p.m. kickoff. So that’s a significant step forward from last night.

OK, about the Falcons. This game is very similar to the Baltimore game two weeks ago. It’s a chance for the Falcons to gauge themselves against one of the league’s elite. Back in early August, I gave you my rankings of the top five NFC teams. Four of the five are still looking pretty good: 1. Green Bay; 2) Atlanta; 3) Dallas (oops); 4) New Orleans; 5) New York. Let’s not talk about No. 3.

The Packers are solid. They rank eighth in scoring and second in points against. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has seven touchdowns and no interceptions in the last two games, although it’s worth noting those numbers came against two imploding teams, Dallas and Minnesota.

Actually, the Packers’ last two wins came against opponents that fired their respective head coaches (Wade Phillips and Brad Childress) the next day.

Going out on a limb here: The Falcons’ Mike Smith is safe.

Here are a few obvious keys today:

♦ Get pressure on Rogers: Defensive end John Abraham is expected to play after sitting out last week’s game in St. Louis with a groin strain. That should help. The Falcons rank only 25th in the NFL with 18 sacks, but Abraham has eight of those. The next closest: Curtis Lofton and Jonathan Babineaux with two each.

♦ Pass protect: I know, also kind of obvious. But the Packers rank among NFL leaders with 29 sacks. The Falcons’ offense’ after some inconsistencies early in the year, has excelled during the current four game winning streak. During that span, quarterback Matt Ryan has thrown for nine touchdowns, one interceptions 1,103 yards.

♦ Turnovers: This qualifies as another “duh” key. But consider this: The Falcons are 7-0 this season when they win the turnover battle and 1-2 when its even or they lose it.

One last thought before I turn it over to you: The Falcons can really set themselves up nicely for the postseason if they win today and next week at Tampa Bay. They would be 10-2 overall, 7-1 in the conference and 3-0 in the NFC South with only four games left (two with Carolina, Seattle and New Orleans). But that’s probably getting a little too far ahead.

That’s it for now. I’ll check back shortly. Should be a great game.

Falcons inactives: John Parker Wilson (third quarterback), CB Dominique Franks, RB Antone Smith, T Garrett Reynolds, G Mike Johnson, TE Michael Palmer, DE Lawrence Sidbury, DT Trey Lewis.

About last night:

Georgia wasn’t any more impressive in a win than it was in some losses

Jeff
I hope you were able to spend some time wuth your child while you were in Athens.
The Sunday shcool was light this morning so we decided not to have class. Too many people up too late. The UGA fans were nice and they didn’t want to talk crap because they knew they were lucky.
On to the Falcons
I hope the Falcons make the Fast start, but don’t go through the 2nd-3rd qtr deceleration. Green Bay can move the ball easily so the D needs to stay focused, but the O has to keep pushing to score.

I suppose the Web metrics are strongly bearing out that GA & Tech blogs are what the readers want, and these two fine sportswriters have to do their jobs, but truth be told, I long for the days when the news was driven more by newsworthiness than by popularity contests.

“anyone knows the last time the falcons had a kick return for a TD?”

TD has not drafted speed for the sake of having speed….yet.

Falcons drive take too long. Someone is going to shut-down Roddy for an entire game, and nobody else will make a play to score when The Falcons are down.

Rodgers going to be 40/40 at halftime…at this rate..

Falcons will have to make some changes in the defense in the off-season. Don’t see a Superbowl win..

The smart “FBI” players have no speed or pass rush, and the fast players have no “F.B.I.”.

They couldn’t find the ball even if it was stuck in their face masks..

Too much looking-around, maybe too much “rotation”.

It’s like 5 DTs playing DE…like The hawks have Forwards playing Shooting guard and center..

So, CHOKE, the new statndard for greatness for NFL quarterbacks is not throwing interceptions? Back in the day, it was wins. Remember? Like when Vick was our QB…

Oh, and Ryan doesn’t play heads up vs. the other team’s QB…not sure if you were aware of that little factoid.

CBs too short… Somebody in the front office should’ve done something about this secondary..

Falcons are going to have just a “good playoff run”, but no real threat o win anything.

If you wait to wait a 4-12 season to fire coaches, or sit certain players, your head coach will be fired.

Winning is one aspect, but how you win.. And are you a real elite team with smart play..

Are you CBs always chasing opposing WRs in-space?

Do they always give 10 yard “cushion”?

Jenkins can’t be found, or Ryan won’t throw the ball his way.. or no WR big plays are being designed for Jenkins, and called..

The coaching staff needs to force Jenkins to become a force.. As much of a disappointment he may have been, he’s not receiving opportunities, and Ryan is looked-in to “TE Gonzalez” and “WR White” too much..

Douglass’ knee won’t be the same until next season, but Ryan is not looking for him.

Some of these plays are read and recognition, and these defenders have lost their “F.B.I.”.

The Packers cannot even run the ball, and the defense is being caught trailing, or looking in The Packers back-field.

I’ll take the win, but our defense has GOT to seal the deal in games like this…can’t keep relying on the offense for the bailout. The only two upsides for me, besides the win, is yet another last-possession clutch drive orchestrated by Ryan & the fact that the running game is alive & well. Really concerned about our lack of pass rush & porous secondary though.

To hell with Philly, GB, TB and NO. You are looking at the best team in the NFL. With a little under a minute left, did ANYONE doubt Matt Ryan? NO, not at all. Say what you want about the defense, but BVG should be defensive coordinator of the year.
This isn’t the same Atlanta team that played Philly 6 weeks ago and now have won 5 straight including wins against GB, Baltimore, and TB. I once doubted this team, but WOW. Ryan is 19-1 at home in his career. 29-12 as a starter. Mike Smith 29-14. Life is good!! If Atlanta beats TB next week, watch out. 2 against Carolina, 1 against Seattle and the finale against NO. I really believe they can run the table. Ryan was 24-28? Wow

This team.. It’s their season to go far, but maybe not the championship.

Falcons FS Decoud is one the main reasons that Packers QB, Aaron Rodgers did not carve-up the rest of the secondary in the middle of the field.

Decoud, quietly is keeping opposing QBs from going deep.

If they could dress Sidbury, and give him more snaps, maybe they could fins more of a pass-rush.

Who needs the long ball? 110 yards on the ground, 198 in the air. Balance as the Fox Crew just stated. GB one dimensional. Philly only as good as Vick is on the day. NO, one dimensional. They pound it, pound it, pound it and run time off the clock and wear the defense down.

The Falcons win close games because they’re disciplined/well-coached, they stop the run (check the stats), & they run the ball (check the stas). Get a clue.

In no way saying “Super Bowl or Bust” – but this team has indeed established what the Braves over that past 10 seasons and Hawks over the last 5 seasons have not been able to.

They have slipped out of the “real good” or even “DAMN GOOD” category and have achieved “ELITE” status. Again, since there are a handful of teams that are “elite” and only 1 can win it all – this doesn’t automatically mean Super Bowl Here We Come – but we have reached a level of expecation now higher than any other pro sports team in Atlanta since the Braves of the mid to late 90’s – AND DAMN DOES IT FEEL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Jeff. Fantastic victory! Believe Falcons escaped after extreme error in judgment. Fourth down called for pressure. Why? A great QB will find open receiver if provided enough time. Packer QB did! Previous pressure forced rushed QB throws. One on fourth down which just missed for major gain stands out. Falcons should have brought heat to force quick decision. Anything short of end zone, with tackle of course, meant almost certain victory. Will say Falcons of old would have lost this one. Not these guys! Fab time to be Falcon watcher. Soar even higher birds! STENDEK

Time to put out a simple FACT for any Faclon Defense hater.

In come the Packers – and out they go having scored fewer than 17 points in only 2 of their last 29 games.

Screw yards. Yards are a statistic and statistics are for LOSERS. Points on the board are the SOLE INDICATOR of a teams ability to win or lose.

The Packers are, and have been, a beast on offense for quite some time and only 2 times out of the last 29 games has a team held them to fewer points – NICE GAME FALCONS.

“Truth” mentions that teams who do nothing but throw will rack up passing yards. And then proceeds to call people stupid. Try 411 rushing yards, guy (90 yards more than Tech’s FBS-leading 320 per game). Around 110 or so passing, can’t remember the exact number.
You should have stopped with your comment about the final score, which is indisputable. The rest of it, you need some practice.

The problem with doing the old “pelvic thrust” after scoring a touchdown well before the end of the game is that it not only makes you look like an idiot at the time, considering you are doing this in the general direction of women and children, but it really makes you look stupid once you’ve lost the game and you’re having to shake hands with real men face to face. Aaron Rodgers pretty much exemplifies the persona of his coach, who is a classless immature jerk that deserves all the pain and frustration that he has experienced and is still coming. LLYFF

Couldn’t have been June Jones making up “Big Ben” – would have been hard to be the QB coach while you were also the backup QB (as Jones was 77-79). I guess Glanville could have had a hand in it – he was the secondary coach for ATL at the time.

Whofan – CHILD PLEASE. You really think saying Bart is better than Ryan is comparable to a claim that Grogan is better than Brady?? If you are going to make an argument – at least come up with something better than comparing a QB with 3 playoff appearances in his first 8 years with a HORRIBLE team (Bart) with an up and coming kid (Ryan) with a great FUTURE hopefully and a QB that NEVER EVEN MADE it to a Super Bowl (Grogan) to one that has 3 rings.

So, after 30-plus years of being an ardent Falcons / Atlanta sports fan, despite being geographically displaced for a third of that time . . . Top Falcon QBs:

1) Bartkowski — Not his fault that the Smiths didnt put much around him for most of his time. A pro in every sense of the word
2) Ryan — Three seasons in Hotlanta, three winning seasons. Lets see how things play out this year before we put him at number one, but my guess is that Bart is just keeping that top spot warm for a bit.
3) Hows about Chris Chandler? The only quarterback to lead the Birds to the Super Bowl. Only 14-2 season on record. . . . The guy was more than a Trent Dilfer game manager. He made some throws. We dont beat the Vikes in Minnesota without this guy making some great plays.
4) Mike Vick . . . Fine. Put him here. My beagle – mix is howling in disagreement, but the guy did win a playoff game in Lambau Field. He makes the list of best on-field quarterbacks in Falcons history.

When “Screwy” Dewey McClain knocked Staubach senseless in the 1978 (there’s that season again) playoff game with Atlanta leading 20-13 at Texas Stadium. White came in and led the Pokes to (another) comeback playoff win against the Falcons.

Another “Old Fart” Moment:

You guys are forgetting about “General” Bob Lee – QB in the greatest Falcon win to that point when he beat Fran Tarkenton & the Vikings on MNF in 1973 (finishing them off with a bomb to “Cadillac” Eddie Ray).

That was the first Falcons game I ever went to (age 13) and to this day STILL one of my fondest memories.

P.S. – As chapter president of the Falcon Old Fart Club – I’ve been to every one of their home playoff games – of course there’s only been FOUR over the past 32 years, but I’d say not too many folks have been to all of them (including 1978 – there’s that year again – with Bart firing two 4th quarter TD’s to beat the Eagles 14-13).

And the biggest miracle wasn’t really the 2 td’s to come back. It was when the Eagles kicker got hurt on a kickoff and as they drove down the field (with 5 foot 7 Rolland Lawrence trying to cover Eagle receivers including 6 foot 8 Harold Carmichael) to win it and their punter had to try like a 32 yard field goal with under a minute and shanked it!!!

Wait ’til next year!

I’m serious. Absolutely loved the win. And I figure the Falcons have a very good chance to win all remaining regular season games. But, as a Falcon fan since 1966, I’ve never seen such solid, steady improvement (or any improvement, generally). Give Dimitroff and Smith another draft and maybe another veteran acquisition, and the Falcons are going to be formidable for a long time.

For longtime Falcons fans, this season’s nail-biter games beat the heck out of wondering how close we can keep the game before losing. If Steve Bartkowski had played for a Falcons team owned by Blank, coached by Smith, and managed by Ditrimoff, he’d have SuperBowl rings on most of his fingers.

The last two games have made the Falcons’ strengths and vulnerabilities clear to me. But I’m just a fan who doesn’t claim to know a lot about football. Smith and Dimitroff do know football, and they’ll make the team into the Atlanta Falcons we’ve been waiting for all these years.

(PS: Free Gumbo said earlier that he *almost* peed in his pants. Obviously anyone can turn over a new leaf if he really tries.)

I see I am not the only one who thinks Grimes is hurting the team. I agree with a previous comment, he will be targeted in the playoffs. email the Falcons in mass and get this guy off the field. Please!

Previous comment :How Can African Americans Be Racist. If you have lived in Atlanta long it should be evident that they call each other Racist if they can’t agree. The political powers do it all the time.

Tom, see this statisical analysis at
http://www.thefalcoholic.com/2010/11/13/1812401/statistics-101-the-defensive-back-edition
The results:
(1) Robinson: Chris Houston v. 2.0 (even if he is playing with torn ligaments in his knee)
(2) Grimes: AWESOME!
(3) Williams: Better than I thought he’d be
(4) Owens: Not quite there yet … but he’s working on it (and he’s continuing to progress)
(5) Franks: Undecided
(6) Coleman: He deserved to lose his starting spot
(7) Moore: AMAZING!
(8) DeCoud: Some room for improvement
(9) Schillinger: Undecided

Atl01 . . .. . I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again . . ..Ryan was extremely accurate in college . . . I saw every single game he played. Now of course if you just look at this stats I know those “19″ interceptions stand out as a number. Hey, they are what they are . . .and in the books. “But, . .. . .yes I have a but . . . . .I’d say about 15% of those interceptions were just plain bad passes or bad decisions. I can’t tell you how many times easy passes were missed/tipped by receivers. I know that can be a complaint of many fans of other QBs. Just saying . . . . . .I thought Ryan was extremely accurate . . . and the 19 interceptions could be misleading if you had not seen him every game in College.

Once “Recent” Reader – I stand corrected. I only saw him in 2 games in college and he did seem accurate. I was going by the scouting reports at draft time.

Falcon Jim – bloggers who give themselves ugly names enjoy it when you repeat their full name because you are repeating the negative. Call that type of person a variant of their name – like NoodleHead

Ivan, I think all of us falcon fans remember how Vick was. Great during the season, until you played a good team, then he always crumbled. I still remember that game where he pulled himself out of it and Matt Schuab was left to try and get the win. We are soooooo much better off without him!

Falcon83, I totally remember those days. He’d have an outstanding game one week and then come back the next a total dud.

Yet, the clueless will still believe the game he played against Washington is the norm for him.

These Falcons, though, are solid consistent winners. 9-2, baby!!

A bit disappointed in the headlines of your sports section. Nice of your editors to “squeeze in” an article on the Falcons. After all they are leading the NFL in wins- and last i checked GA Tech and Ga were just average college football teams: that played a, mostly meaningless, game. Do we still need innane analysis off the game that was played days ago? You are still fawning over over yesterday’s beauty queen, while true beauty, ignored, is right under your nose.
