I'm not going to bore you with the things we did well. We won the game, so we did lots of things well.
But here are some of the things to improve going into next week:

+Obviously a better start to the game, than get behind 14 points (Turner can really run over people)
+Conversion in the Redzone. We can't go 1-6 in Touchdowns in the Red zone and expect to win.
+Pass Rush: We need to get to Matt Ryan. I like the way we got after Cousins, he is the same type of QB as Ryan
+Bad sacks: RW really took some bad sacks during the game. Just throw the ball away kid. Nothing wrong with that.
+Attitude. I like the cockiness we play with and our "In your face" approach from our defense. We need to stay away from stupid penalties. We had some actions that were borderline, though. Let's stay away from the bad stuff and play hard, tough and focus.

Go Hawks.

The game isn't on grass. Pass rush will be better.

everything is more precise on turf.

Clemons will probably be out. We need someone to step up.

Kind of like how Bruce Irvin did today?

Better pass rush, although maybe it was fear of the run and play-action that hurt early. Our line won't have to respect Ryan's running ability like RG3
Who's going to cover Gonzalez? Do we bring up Earl and leave the corners on their own? Need Trufant to handle Douglas
I'd like to see better pass protection. Russell was on the run out of necessity more than I would have liked today

We need to get Russ settled down early. Regardless of what he says he was pumped up for his first play off game and was putting too much mustard on his throws early. He still did great all things considered. On D We are going to have to stuff a bowling ball of a running back and find a way to cover an all pro TE. oh and don't forget to feed the beast.

IMO browner looked a little rusty. that's not going to fly against White or Jones, especially if Clemons is out.

We're going to need to adjust the way we play defense a little bit, given the possible injury and also the fact that Atlanta puts two #1 recievers on the field and a great HOF tight end.
