Live from the Dome: One year later, those 11 seconds live on
As endings go, it was fairly rousing. And transforming (AJC photo by Curtis Compton)
If not for those 11 seconds, a promising season might never have become much more. If not for those 11 seconds, we might still view the Falcons more with skepticism than belief. If not for those 11 seconds, we might yet be asking if Matt Ryan was the right man to draft. If not for those 11 seconds …
Enough. Those 11 seconds? They happened. The squib kick. The Harry Douglas return and flopdown. The short Ryan drop and the lovely Ryan rainbow. The Michael Jenkins catch and toe-dance along the sideline. The Jason Elam kick of redemption. (He’d missed a field goal that would have clinched it earlier.)
Eleven seconds changed certain defeat to a victory so outrageous it still beggars belief. ESPN.com dug out this nugget: Since the NFL and AFL merged in 1970, it marked only the third time a team had taken a lead inside the final 15 seconds and lost. (The first time was on Tom Dempsey’s 63-yard field goal that beat the Detroit Lions in 1970. The second involved Quincy Carter, and not in a bad way.)
If not for those 11 seconds, the Chicago Bears make the 2008 playoffs. If not for those 11 seconds, the Falcons head into their bye week at 3-3 and sit around and wonder if all their good early work had been a mirage. If not for those 11 seconds …
Enough. That was last season. And now the Bears arrive again, and they’re better than they were a year ago. But so are the Falcons. These teams could well see each other again in January. This game might factor into something really significant, like a division title and a bye or even home-field advantage. The Bears are better because they have a new quarterback. The Falcons are better because they keep growing faster than Wilt Chamberlain in adolescence.
Five weeks ago we worried the Falcons might start slowly. They won their first two and looked good doing it. They looked less good in Foxborough in the rain, but that can happen in Foxborough. (Ask the Tennessee Titans how they enjoyed New England in the snow.) Being expertly coached, the Birds took the lessons absorbed against the Patriots and went to San Fran and stacked 45 points on the befuddled Niners, and wasn’t it just yesterday that the Falcons would lose 45-10 by the Bay?
These Falcons might or might not be in the Super Bowl come February, but this much is becoming clear: They’re going to be in that discussion, and not just this winter but in the winters to come. This is a team that transforms itself at every hurdle, that lives and learns. As good a GM as Thomas Dimitroff is, Mike Smith is that good a coach. These two aren’t going to let things go wrong for long.
Back to those 11 seconds: Had Ryan thrown an incompletion or Elam missed the winning kick, it wouldn’t have made TD or Smitty any less clever. But those 11 seconds were required to lift the New Falcons to a higher plane. And when you’re as moribund as this franchise had become, an up-from-oblivion moment is not just necessary but required.
The Falcons had their moment against the big-shouldered Bears, who’ve had 371 days to simmer. We stood amazed when the Falcons won that Sunday. Because of that Sunday, we’re no longer shocked by anything these Falcons do.
(And with that: I’m sitting live in the Dome, and I’ll be proud and pleased to entertain any and all — well, most all — comments as the night unfolds. Join me for yet another in our series of live chats, won’t you? And I guarantee this game will be better than the one at Vandy yesterday.)
(OK, now you’re asking: What if I’m wrong? What if this one’s even worse? Will I refund your money? Uh, no. But I’ll certainly offer another in a lifetime’s worth of apologies.)

Clusters don’t try to be first to blog but Clusters always come in pretty high up. We was state championship back when we was playing ball. Mike Smith may have been a state champion, too, as good as he coaches. The running game needs to be good tonight for the Falcons. Good running games makes for good passing games.

Is it just me or does anybody else keep waiting for “that bad thing” to happen to us. It doesn’t seem possible after years of Vick, Petrino, D Hall, E Robinson and Smith Family (owners) that we could have years of success. As a life long Falcons fan, I have never seen us in this good shape. God DOES love the Falcons!

When a reporter gets to the stadium early for a game they can go to the press box snack table and eat some real fine cheese and crackers and some Canada Dry. When we worked for the paper we would sometimes put some cheese and crackers in our coat pockets but we stopped doing that when we forgot one night to take that cheese out of the pockets and when we wore that coat the next time no one would sit with us but that could have been because we was a journalist.

When we was younger we met Tommy Nobis and he was still pretty strong and looked like he could play some. Coach said Tommy Nobis was about the only good player the Falcons had for a long time. Linebacking is pretty important on the football field but no Clusters ever played linebacker. We was at the skill positions.

falcons need to get some help from the 12th man, these 2 team have about the same #’s. though atl does have a better return game due to the bears coverage being suspect. special teams, and t/o margin will determine the outcome of this game. though ‘if’ Falcons score early, the crowd should affect the bears. especially with john abraham calling out the atl fans after last yr game this past week.

The Saints ran a BUZZ SAW through the NUMBER 1 defense like they were the Georgia Bulldogs!
How do the Falcons even stand a chance if the Number 1 defense got embarrassed?
The Falcons better win tonight, because the Saints are not looking behind them and remember the Panthers 0-3 start? Well they are only 1 game behind the birds now.

We’re about 50 minutes from kickoff, Mitch, and not many folks are in their seats. That’s not unusual, though.
There were a lot of people downtown when I arrived a couple of hours ago, and a lot of them were wearing Bears clothing.
I think the Falcons will win. But not 45-10.

I think JA98 is picking it up and the move to the inside is a gooooood thing. I don’t think a trade for Dorsey would do us much good.

Last time the Falcons played in New Orleans on Monday night was the Katrina game in 2006. U2 was there, and Allen Toussaint and Irma Thomas, and the commissioner. And the place was crazy loud. The Saints blocked the game’s first punt and scored on the recovery and it was deafening. Falcons had no chance that night.

“Can’t go for it on fourth and one at your 25 in the first quarter when it’s scoreless.”
Really? says who? Have you actually studied the statistics: NFL teams gain an average of 3+ yards per play.
No better time to go for it than early and scoreless. NFL coaches are too chickenpoop to go for it, even though the math actually says to go for it. Own 25 is pretty deep in your own territory. Easterbrook recommended definitely doing it if at least on your own 35 or so.

Nice to see the Falcons get Norwood into the game, and the idea of running the no huddle offense was sheer genius. Ryan heated up and began shredding the defense with those wicked little “noodle arm” passes. Like it or not, that is game management, and it’s winning.

If they “dink and dunk”, while Brees is scoring touchdowns..
They Falcons offense call plays like they have a defense the caliber of the 2000 Ravens..lol
“Let’s spread everyone-out, and call a 5-yard slant”. lolol.

More on the next game vs. The Saints or anyone..
I see that the play-calling shows the amount of confidence and respect that The Falcon Staff have with the receivers…other than TE Gonzalez..
Ryan has more of an arm than I thought when they drafted him, but they don’t call confident offensive plays.. They call defensive-offensive plays..

Everybody got to give the Falcons D some slack. No corners can cover when the QB has 5+ seconds in the pocket. Cutler made most of his biggest plays under a lot of pressure. But most of all This Defense doesn’t give up. Game ball to to the whole D for bending but not breaking.

I’ll take that win, thankyou very much.
Great grit shown by our defense. As a friend of mine remarked, it really builds character for the defense to be placed in a position where they must hold for us to win. And they did just that. We actually got good pressure on Cutler all evening, though I also feel that there were some serious holding situations that weren’t getting called for the most part.
Our offense had a rough time against a very tough defense, but we got it done anyhow. Ryan and the rest of the guys looked great in the no-huddle. That really threw the Bears off and they never recovered. Still, Ryan threw for less than 200 yards and got picked off twice. Yet, we still won.
This is about winning as a team, and we did it. All the naysayers can talk the trash they’ve been talking. They can talk stats (though in most cases, stats won’t help their argument), but here’s the stat that matters most at the end of the day:
We’re 4-1. ‘Nuff said.
Do the Saints look really good? Yes, they do. It will be a very tough matchup for us. But I’m looking forward to it. As I recall, the usual naysayers were talking about how tough the Bears were, and so many other teams. The 49ers were supposed to run all over us. They didn’t. Keep talking. The Falcons keep winning. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

Dallas has some big boys up front in their defense and offense..
Falcons can’t run the ball… I’m not so sure that The Falcons will have success in Dallas.
Especially if the refs “see no holding” from the Cowboys..lol.
No pass-rush on Dallas QB, Romo, could be a warm-up to the quick-score nightmare of The Saints.
I pray for Falcons CB Williams health.. Unfortunately.. CB Ty Hill get a chance to take a job..along with rookie CB Owens.
4-3 after the Saints game is a real possibility.
