This should help pass some time over the next 24+ hours before the NFCCG, because the time will drag on slowly. The staff from The Ringer has written a few good articles on the Falcons this season and figured I'd share a few.

The Maturation of Matty Ice

The Speedy Evolution of the Falcons Defense

The Falcons are the new Greatest Show on Turf

I was pretty freakin confident last weekend while most weren't.Now it seems that it just the opposite...lots of folks jumping on the Falcons train.

Who's the meathead on the NFL network with the bad spray tan?The guy was all over the Seahawks last weekend and now of course,he's all over the Falcons

Makes me a little nervous.

Great description of Shanahan though

An offensive coordinator has to do so many things simultaneously: take advantage of defensive vulnerabilities, mix run and pass plays, avoid patterns and tendencies, and react to adjustments, all while trying to build a rhythm for the quarterback. The flow of the game becomes a chess match: Run one play to see how the defense reacts to it, then tweak it later to take advantage of any weaknesses the defense presents. Dial up deep shots often enough to keep the safeties and cornerbacks honest, but work the short and intermediate areas as well. Lean on the run?—?force the defense to make tackles?—?then run play-action to throw it over their heads when they start cheating toward the line of scrimmage.

If you put a gun to the head of every realistic Falcons fan, we'd all say that Rodgers scares the frick out of us.

No doubt but I thought GB would be the better matchup for the 'Coons.Hopefully a 2nd straight road game will take their toll,even on Rodgers.

Loved the last article on the offense.

Adams and Nelson being out or questionable should help out chances greatly

I feel pretty confident especially against the 31st ranked Pass D
