Of all your homer statements this is the most homeristic of them all. Joseph has been average this year, dissappointing actually. I expected to improve a lot in his second year and he's struggled at times. Sears has been the better guard so far.

LOL, the Cards aren't a bad team. They aren't great but they are above average.
Carolina on the other hand...

Falcon Fans in on the sig bet:

Bucs fans wanting to answer the call? Chucky is the only 1 I'm seeing so far.

Someone got a big head over beating the Frank Gore-less 9ers and the Vinny Testaverde-led Panthers.

I really admire your ignorance. First of all, "Roddy and Laurent" are horrible. Never in my life would I fear either of them, not in my wildest dreams. Second of all, and most importantly, our "pathetic Cover 2 corners" are exactly how you described them...Cover 2 corners. They don't run with receivers as they play the flats in zone coverage with safety help over top. You are sadly mistaken if you think Roddy & Laurent are gonna burn Tanard Jackson or Jermaine Phillips deep. Our pass defense has been dominant all year because we force teams to throw short underneath passes. Even the mighty Indianapolis Colts, led by Peyton Manning, couldn't throw deep on our defense. When he tried to air it out, Tanard either picked him off or laid a huge hit. Even if I threw our whole defensive scheme out the window and went with man-to-man coverage on Roddy & Laurent, they still wouldn't find room to breathe. Ronde Barber would press one of them into the bleachers, while Phillip Buchanon is one of the fastest players in the league and would outrun the receiver to the ball. Harrington will be forced to throw short passes against our defense, and chances are we will pick off a few since that's what good 'ol Joey is known for.

Not hardly...you keep thinking that...you'll see. Roddy has been good this year...really good...7th in the NFC in receiving yards with Harrington as a QB. He's been consistent and been making the very tough catches. You'll see come Sunday that you couldn't have been more wrong about Robinson and White. Both actually are becoming very good...Robinson is a rookie so struggles with consistency sometimes, but man he can make the big play. You'll see. Can't wait! As far as 24 goes...I'd keep your mouth shut til you're willing to back it up.

Back it up with what? A pitiful argument where all I continue to say is "you'll see"? I don't need to partake in the sig bet either because I will still reap the rewards if the Buccaneers win.

How many times did you say "you'll see"? You'll see that Roddy White is not the kind of receiver that can have success against our defense. He's too one-dimensional, and we will shut down the deep passes, forcing the Falcons to throw short where their receivers will drop passes and Harrington will throw picks.

Thing is...we haven't been dropping passes this year...and Harrington hasn't been throwing picks because he hasn't been forcing anything, he's been checking down to the safe route. We just don't turn the ball over on offense. It's an overly safe offense at this point, which doesn't beat people deep...if you knew anything you'd know that Roddy's big TD was virtually all YAC. He broke what looked like a pretty sure tackle, then took it to the house. He's very comfortable with the under routes...you'll see.
I can't believe someone who talks so much isn't willing to bring it with a sig bet, really sad. I can't wait to get to see this game when I get back from Alabama tomorrow night.

So who do you think is going to start at QB for the Falcons this week, and who do you want to start?

So your not scared of a guy who is putting up good stats with Joey Harrington at QB, but we should fear Tanard "World-Beater" Jackson? An you said iloxy is ignorant...

Well considering he is part of the 3rd best pass defense in the NFL, he can't be all that bad.

If you've seen Roddy play once this season, you wouldn't call him horrible.

Yeah, I'm not sure how Roddy White can be called horrible for his play THIS season. Last season? Well, I'm sure I said it myself at least 3 times a game. :)

Everyone > Our OL.
That was a pretty pathetic showing. Makes me feel sad I actually thought we could have won.
I want a legit QB...or OL. So badly...

Sidenote: Stephen Nicholas getting all those special teams penalties brought me back to when Andre Hall would take it 99 yards only to be called back by a hold by Nicholas...
