Hopefully Ryan will continue to improve, he made some bad decisions today that were really close to interceptions, but for a rookie's first game I was very impressed. He's definitely what the Falcons need, a good young quarterback that knows the game and isn't full of himself. Plus he won't be getting locked up for dog fighting. And about the d-line, I think if they stay consistent they can definitely hang with the best. We'll just have to see how the season goes, and pray that Abraham can stay healthy. With the loss of Kerney the Falcons can't afford to have Abraham hurt.
I'm with you on this post. I think they played a great game. The offense is in a pretty good place and the defense needs to join them...consistently. After last year, pretty much anything will be an improvement. I like Ryan as well, but as I insist, I want to remain optimistic, but realistic with my first game comment. But my spirit is up right now. I still have my Steve Bartkowski helmet that I got for X-mas back in 1980. Even has the 1980 stamp on the inside.

Lolol. I have no idea why, but it's always been one of those petty pet peeves of mine, lolol. No biggie, man. Reps for good posting. Later, QD.
