I have a feeling that we WILL win the Falcons game!

It's going to be a bloodbath... It will get ugly.

Falcons aren't the same team on the road as they are at home. With RGIII and Shanahan, we can beat any team on any given day.

It'll take our best game but if we win the turnover battle, we've got a good shot

Doubt it. Every game we play comes down to the wire.

Their first play on offense will be a deep pass to either Jones or White for a Touchdown....if they so choose.

Edit: I can already see D-Hall stumbling in vain now.

I think we'll Win the Atlanta game. I firmly believe that the Falcons are paper tigers (although they look pretty good so far). I mean, they're good n' all, but I like The Skins in this one. Not to mention, through the years we've always beaten them. And call me crazy, but there's something to those historical matchups (Just like historically, we always beat the Saints and Bears too).

Ghostbusters! We are ready to believe you.

If I've learned anything by watching the Redskins over the years, it's that we're always able to hang in there and play with any opponent. Problem is, we also play down to the level of our opponent. Almost all of our games are close, and anything can really happen. I'd be very surprised if we don't win at least one of these next 2 home games.

almost all except for those games where we get flat out destroyed...

I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but I have no faith in this secondary. None. If the Falcons choose to play catch all over the field they will do that.

(Yes I'm trying the whole reverse psychology thing this week, so bear with me.)

If the D comes in like they did against NO we have a shot.

I think we'll be able to move the ball against them, but Raheem/Haslett and Co. are going to have to come up with one hell of a gameplan, and execute the hell out of it to keep these dudes from working us up and down the field like NFL Blitz 2000

Keep in mind that just as Raheem played the Saints twice a year and had a game plan for them, the same is true of ATL who are in that same division as well know.

See, some of you are thinking under past/typical Redskins circumstances. Normally, we think a team like the Falcons will blow us out because they have an awesome offense. You expect them to put up 30 something (which is a lot for anyone), and win the game because we can't score 30 something. (by the way, in the past, the Skins still managed to keep those very games close at the end.)

Well, not only CAN we score 30 something now, we're expected to as well.

Now, our defense is not good, but giving up 30 something to bad teams does not automatically make it 60 something for good teams. It's still a 60 minute game, time of possession should play out as usual, and if anything, we are that running team who wins that battle.

We need to expect that sometimes, our suddenly good offense will score under 20. We just need to hope that isn't next weekend. If not, it's going to be just like every other week so far. The last field goal will be made or missed, the 4th down pass may or may not be complete, someone may or may not throw a football.

So let's not act like we're at some giant disadvantage here. I promise you the Falcons aren't thinking that. Our offense is downright scary.

Cam Newton abused the Falcons on the road today and they were lucky they pulled it out because of the heroics of Matty Ice. The Redskins have the best rushing attack in football. That's our strength. We need to pound the football and control the clock. Keep the ball out of Ice's hands as long as we can and we have a shot

It's hard not to imagine at least one 50+ yard TD reception by Jones or White. Matt Ryan has been the MVP of the first four weeks as well. The Redskins should be big underdogs, but of course anything can happen.
