I think we right the ship this week. Atlanta hasn't "crushed" anyone. They've trailed in the 4th quarter in 3 of their 4 wins and even the Panthers were hanging around late. They don't rush the passer well to a tune of only 5-6 sacks all season so our weakness in pass blocking matches their weakness in getting to the QB. It will come down to us limiting explosives and the run game as it has the last 3 games. If comes down to a shoot out then we have the horses that can win that battle too if the mistakes are cleaned up. Bottom line is that the added rest and prep time along with the way the team has seemed to handle things in interviews and taking ownership has me truly believing that they can win this game on the road. Cleaning up the simple gap accountability and TO's and this team will look a LOT different. I think we see a step forward on Sunday.

The Falcons don't match up well against the Hawks if the Hawks are mostly healthy. The Falcons edge will be to try to stick with a running game if they do pull out a win and have Cousins look for zone beaters over the middle ala similar game play against the Bucs a few weeks back.

The Seahawks are a mash unit. If they pull it off it will be a miracle.

Now that we are actually having padded practices and aren't in the midst of a 3-games-in-11 days stretch, we might be back to normal. Having Murphy back could be huge.
