Two games left Black Calvin Ridley Jersey , both against NFC South rivals. The first against a Panthers team that has been tripping over its own feet for what seems like centuries but probably has been less than half a season, and the last one the opportunity to deliver a coup de grace to Dirk Koetter’s time in Tampa Bay. Of course, wins against both would damage Atlanta’s draft stock mightily, and so opinions on the wisdom of doing so will continue to be sharply divided.Carolina is, for better or for worse, eminently beatable. Their defense is good enough to give the Falcons absolute fits, but it’s worth noting that the Saints have been anemic on offense for three straight weeks now. On the other side of the ball, the Panthers are doomed by a finally regressing offensive line and whatever is going on with a clearly injured Cam Newton, and thus their upside is not all that high. The Falcons shouldn’t be brimming with confidence after stomping a lousy Cardinals team Kaleb McGary Jersey 2019 , but compared to Carolina, they probably are. If you’re tuning in out of curiosity, to will the Falcons to a draft-positioning-saving loss, or to savor a win over a divisional rival, here’s what you’ll need to know.

Opponent Site: Cat Scratch ReaderFalcoholinks: All the Falcons news you need for Wednesday, Sept. 26 We’re midway through the workweek, which means our Saints loss hangovers have mainly subsided and we’re dipping into the well of cautious optimism for Sunday. The Bengals last came to town in October of 2010, a meeting which saw the Falcons come away with a victory. We’ll lean on that and hope for a similar outcome as we head through the week. For today? Piping hot Falcoholinks bright and early. Benefit or doubt? Coach Dan Quinn has transformed the Falcons since his arrival in 2015. He’s put an emphasis on forging bonds through brotherhood, brought some aggression to a team that once slunk off the field after a late hit on Matt Ryan, and revitalized a defense that’s been feeble since the time of Pangaea.The Football Gods, angry and merciless as they are, have taken a metaphysical scythe to Atlanta’s defense, leaving a potential top-five unit in utter disarray. Free agent options are available Takkarist McKinley Jersey 2019 , but at a long-term cost that may imperil the Falcons’ ability to secure their top-tier talent. Dan Quinn told us that the team would turn inward to fill the defensive holes, and David Walker argues that he deserves the benefit of the doubt in that decision.The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz provides the counterpoint to that argument, preferring that the Falcons seek outside help.

Falcons - Saints 101 The offense looked near omnipotent at points, special teams failed when it could least afford to, and the defense gave up enough yards that it registered as a destination outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Google Maps. This was a game the Falcons should have won and managed to lose, in large part due to shoddy defensive play. Our Eric Robinson gritted his teeth and took a look at the lessons learned from Sunday’s loss, and what the Falcons must do if they hope to get back on track. A.J. Green unavailable? Falcons’ superstar wide receiver Julio Jones and Bengals superstar wide receiver have never once faced off in an NFL game John Cominsky Atlanta Falcons Jersey , and this marquee matchup of two of the league’s best may be in doubt for Sunday. A.J. Green suffered a groin injury in the Bengals’ loss to the Panthers, and his status is up in the air for Week 4. Desperate for a win at home, Falcons fans would of course relish the opportunity to face Cincinnati without A.J. Green. But in all honesty, we’re eager to see two of the NFL’s most dynamic receivers go head-to-head. Green’s status will of course be updated as the week moves along.What worked and what hurtCalvin Ridley was near unstoppable against the Saints, Matt Ryan continued his recent high-level of play, and Vic Beasley made an appearance on our plane of existence. But mixed in with all the positives were some glaring negatives that turned the tide of the game. Give ‘em a look in this week’s edition of Hat Tips & Head-Scratchers.
