I live in Atlanta, but I'm from New Jersey so I'm a Giants fan. The Falcons game is always on so I've seen them play a bunch. They have a pretty good run defense, but everything else is adequete. including Turner. After watching so many games, this is how he puts up good stats. He runs for 2 yards, then 1, then -1, then 3, then 2, then 1, then -2, then 50. He's a great power back, but his stats are kind of misleading. As for the pass game, Ryan throws a lot of short passes. I think he was last in the league in completing passes over 20 yards this year. He's a good quarterback in terms of accuracy, but he's gotta throw it deep a lot more.

They also criticize the Giants and say the Falcons are better, so it felt quite nice for them to win last week. Every year they have an easy schedule and they're going to have one again in 2012. And whenever experts pick them to go to the Super Bowl, I just know it's not gonna happen. They're just not that good as people say they are. Who else feels this way?... Read More »
