Asante dropped a couple easy INTs but we gotta give him credit because that shoulder is obviously killing him. Might be more serious than we initially thought.

Yea definitely. Our players played hurt showing alot of heart. Good win but that game wont beat the Saints thursday.

Nobody ever picks the Falcons to win

Sapp picked us to lose

I love Asante. He's far from perfect but dude brings something we've never had from a corner and it rubbed off on Dunta. Let's hope he can play Thursday because he is clearly hurt and possibly never even recovered from the Cardinals game.

Good game

[Ramon Nivar]

Back at you, you're a darn good team and Doug Martin is a beast. Not sure why you quit running him.

[Bravo95]

Matt Bryant has lost all confidence.

For now I'm gonna chalk it up to him being nervous or whatever about going against his old team.

But if it continues....

It was sad to see Asante stay on the ground for so long after the final game of the year. Good win though.

[Bravo95]

The good: Doug Martin only had 50 yards on 21 carries. Felt like A WHOLE LOT more than that.

The bad (but expected): Turner had 17 yards on 13 carries. Douglas had 2 catches for 11 yards.

He missed a couple bfore this game too. Some chippy one too

Gotta shake it off. I know he's been on the injury report with a bad back, so maybe that's part of it.

Peter King on his weekly Power Rankings:

Atlanta (10-1): At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Michael Turner's output Sunday in the 24-23 win at Tampa: 16 touches, 30 yards; Jacquizz Rodgers' output: 12 touches, 79 yards. I keep thinking I'm watching a different game than the Atlanta coaches.

I hope thats it

I'm unfamiliar with Achilles injuries. Is there any chance Grimes is good to go for the playoffs?

[Ramon Nivar]

Probably not, torn achillies is super serious. Then again, Peterson came back so who knows.

[Bravo95]

1) Peterson is a cyborg.
2) Grimes sat out of the playoff game last season with his knee injury knowing free agency was coming up, so I doubt he would try to come back early this time around facing basically the same situation.
3) Cinnamon Toast Crunch is ****ing great.
