Have been stewing on these five items for nearly a week now and find that all of them have merit… most certainly, numbers 1, 3 and 5.

Of course, neither you (the writer of this article) or I (a commentor to it) have a really big say in who does what. And perhaps, it is better that we don’t because if we did, the unemployment rate in Georgia would be a might higher.

Mark,

History shows that after a running back has close to 400 carries in one year (I forget the actual number of carries), there is a big dropoff (or injury) the following year (I think Eric Dickerson was the exception).

We’ve seen it first hand with the original Jamal Anderson. Could it be happening again with Turner? Or is that defenses are more prepared to stop him this year?

What do you think?

Week Three power rankings
Posted by Mike Florio on September 29, 2009 9:13 AM ET
1. New York Giants (Last week: 1). In the same week that Plaxico was locked up, the Giants proved that they don’t need a high-end wideout if their defense will be giving up zero points.

2. Indianapolis Colts (Last week: 2). With all due respect to everyone in the organization not named Peyton Manning, there’s only one guy in Indy punching the clock who’s indispensable. And as long as he’s around, the Colts will be a contender.

3. Baltimore Ravens (Last week: 3). The guy who looks like Bert from Sesame Street is suddenly making opponents feel like they live in a trash can.

4. Minnesota Vikings (Last week: 4). The only schism currently in Minnesota involves the folks who want to book their Super Bowl-week hotel rooms now and those who want to wait. Until November.

5. New Orleans Saints (Last week: 7). When the best player on a good team has a bad day and the team still wins, it’s a bad sign. For every other team on the schedule.

6. New York Jets (Last week: 10). We’d hate to see how well Mark Sanchez would be playing right now if he’d actually been ready to leave USC.

7. San Diego Chargers (Last week: 6). If they suffer many more injuries, they might have to borrow some players from San Diego State.

8. New England Patriots (Last week: 8). The Pats went a long way toward quieting the critics with a 16-point thrashing of the Falcons. Lose to the Ravens, and the critics will be back.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers (Last week: 5). Safety Troy Polamalu has shown that he’s the most important player on the team, by not playing.

10. Atlanta Falcons (Last week: 9). The Falcons had a chance to make a statement against the Patriots. Unfortunately, the statement was, “We’re not yet ready to beat the Patriots.”

“Could have drafted a WINNER but instead we have a WEENER”

I wouldn’t say that the season is over, but when you have a QB who can be “The Checkdown King” sometimes, you won’t win many games unless you can run the football. I’m anxious to see if anyone blames Ryan for anything bad that happens with this team. So far its been “The Refs, the O and D-lines, Turner’s fault, Coach Smith’s fault”. Funny thing is…no one says its MATT RYAN’S fault ,lol, as expected. We all know why.

“Socialist Agenda?” Where do you get this stuff? Yeah, subsidizing rich bankers, former hardware peddlers, and overpaid failed veterinarians shows that “rugged American individualism!

And your defense still sucks! To blitz like the Jets and the Ravens, you first have to have talented playmakers to accomplish that…

Oh you Flacco haters sound like those nut cases that pooh-poohed Ben Roethlisberger’s first 4 years in the League. Remember Stony Case, Brooks Bollinger and Troy Smith? They didn’t win with the same defensive talent in Baltimore… The kid is a winner, just like Big Ben!

Come on. If they lose to the 49ers they’re 2-2.

I know the falcons have 13 more games to go but if they lose to 49ers then season over.This team is not hungry enough and it was clearly shown yesterday.I really can’t believe the falcons didn’t blitz not one time in the game.The Jets gave you film to beat the Patriots or any other them and that is blitzing and taking chances which this coaching staff know nothing about.The falcons got to take chances and throw deep sometime and be aggressive like the Patriots.In football most of the time the aggressive and toughest team win.Falcons aren’t hungry enough yet!

Since Turner was blamed for the loss, then all the wins are due to him and nobody else, so what is Art paying the irrevelant NOODLE ARM for?

HE’S A BUST!!!!!!!!!!!
