Falcons Win By A Sliver  

1 comments

Tampa Bay put on a late surge to put the game in overtime, but could not finish off the Falcons. Matt Ryan and Michael Turner guided the Falcons down the field, setting up a game winning 34 yard kick by Jason Elam. Matt Ryan did not perform as he has in the past, posting his 2nd lowest rating of the season at 57.5. The man for the Falcons today was halfback Michael Turner. He rushed for 152 yards, recording 15th rushing TD of the season, breaking Jamal Anderson's team record from 1998. John Abraham had 3 sacks today, one came in overtime on a 3rd down attempt by the Bucs that forced them to punt.


The Bucs will need to improve their discipline, with 11 penalties today for 76. A big penalty occured in the 4th quarter when the Bucs were driving. On a 3rd and 1 situation, a false start penalty brought them back 5 yards, and Matt Bryant could not connect for the long field goal. Antonio Bryant posted another 100 yards game today, hauling in 108 yards with 1 TD.

The Bucs and Falcons are battling for wild card spots, both need the Panthers and Cowboys to lose today.

What we learned from Week 13

The Giants are the best team in the league. They hold a 3 game lead in the NFC East with a record of 11-1 and appear to be unstoppable so far. This week, they held Clinton Portis to a season low 22 rushing yards and improved to 15-1 in their last 16 road games including the playoffs.


The Jets may not be "that" good. They lost to the Denver Broncos this week, who are now 7-5 this season. The Jets defense allowed 484 total yards, 357 yards in the air. The FB/RB for the Broncos, Peyton Hillis, ran for 129 yards and 1 TD. If it weren't for the Steelers, the Jets would be tied at the top spot in the AFC East.


The Rookie QB's are really "that" good. Joe Flacco threw for a season high 280 yards and 2 TD's against the Bengals. He improved the Ravens to 8-4 in the AFC North. Matt Ryan led the Falcons over the Chargers, throwing for 207 yards and 2 TD passes. These two quarterbacks are going to be battling it out for many years to come.


The NFC East and NFC South are going to produce the two wild card spots. The teams competing for wild card spots are the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons. All are from either the East or the South. The Packers, Vikings and Bears will have to battle for the NFC Central top spot in order to get in the playoffs. The NFC West is just terrible, the Arizona Cardinals need one more win to clinch a spot in the postseason.

NFL Week 11 Fantasy Studs  

, , , , , , , 0 comments

Kurt Warner against Seattle : He should easily put up 300 yards and 2-3 TD's with the WR's he has. Boldin, Fitzgerald and Breaston have all been threats in the air and Seattles defense has been weak in passing making this look like another long day for them.

Frank Gore against St. Louis : Two words - No defense. Gore should run all day on the Rams D and I'm saying he will put up around 150 with 2 TD's. Remember last week, the final play, Gore was on the bench. Look for Gore to play this game for angry, opposing defenders will have a tough time tackling him with a full head of steam.

Roddy White against Denver: Matt Ryan has found a threat in White. Mix in Denver's poor secondary and we could see an air show put up by Matt Ryan. Roddy White in my opinion should put up numbers near 130 yards and 2 Td's.

Carolina's Defense vs Detroit: If you have tickets to this game, expect to see a circus out there. Detroit seems to be getting no where when they are on offense. With an un-retired Culpepper at QB, maybe they could put up a good 7 points, but nothing more as this will get ugly.
