Heinicke enters the game for atlanta and throws a no looker interception to end the contest. 

Which barely travels 15 yards.

27-20 Skins

The Ridder that played today will pick our D apart. 

[NoCalMike]

Another game that is going to come down to whether the defense is ready to transform into something different.  

 

I am good with what Howell has shown so far, but the formula for winning games this season is not Howell having to drop back and pass 35+ times.  Having Howell pass like that, when the team is continually down by two or more possessions, and expecting him to not make mistakes when he has barely over 5 total starts is just straight madness.

 

If the Defense holds Atlanta under 24, it's a win, if not, it's a toss up depending on whether the game is back & forth or the offense is fighting their way out of a hole the entire second half.

Guaranteed Pitts gets his first Td of the season against us.

[FootballZombie]

My dreams of getting to play TH have been completely shattered. I was ready to predict a massive blowout and everything.

I'm devastated

ATL is very well coached. Looks like a team with good leadership and a lot of tools for their young QB that they're trying to stick by.

Can't wait for Ridder and London to go off vs this defense

Obviously, it’s possible this defense could get picked apart by anyone.  But if they get picked apart by Desmond Ridder and lose, locker room meltdown will be in full effect.

[El Mexican]

We all know TH will beat us somehow.

 

Score is irrelevant.

[xxprodigyxx]

i don't feel good about our D against robinson and pitts. if heinicke gets put in, we won't stand a chance.

[abdcskins]

I don't see us winning.  21-17 Falcons.

[Riggo-toni]

I'm actually going to this game, so I have to hope for a win or else get payback from my neighbor for every time I brought up walking back just in time to see the kick returned for a TD.

27-24 Commies.

[Hdf561]

Our Defense will not stop Bijon Robinson he has the potential to have a record setting game, so reality is Ridder doesn’t have to be very good. The script is out on how to beat us and Del Rio isn’t smart enough or has too much ego to change, this will be the story until him and the Retread Ron are gone. I sadly feel that EB unless he is made the head coach will be a casualty as well. 
 

Commies: 21

Falcons: 28 

[kingdaddy]

We're doomed as TH will give up all the enemy intel giving Ridder enough to throw for 2 TD passes. RR will let the guys talk it out at halftime again while he and JDR make dinner plans.

[DJHJR86]

Atlanta has not scored more than 25 points this year.  I fully expect that to change on Sunday.

[tmandoug1]

I'm going to go with the ol ticker and say the team was still tired from the OT loss to the Beagles. 

 

Skins 28

Falcons 10

 

EB runs the ball more in the first half and keeps the D fresh. 

 

Forbes parental timeout comes to an end and he gets his first pick six.

 

Yes, I'm insane and I love it that way.....

[The Rook]

Falcons have some serious weapons on offense.

 

Atlanta -32

Washington - not as much

[skins island connection]

 I bet Heinicke's brain is being picked like nothing before right now by their OC/HC, getting all the scoop regarding offensive looks.

Thre Falconcrests pulled a last minute drive against a not-so-bad Texans defense, and that doesn't sit too well with me.

 

 It will boil down to the Wash LBers making big plays, but I just don't see it. They'll whiff on plays and have that " I cannot believe its not butter " look on their faces.

* And please burn those god-awful black unis, especially when the Falcons' are black, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Ron trot them out.

Heinicke isn't going to tell them anything more than they already know. Last check, we do have a new offensive coordinator.

Before Atlanta played yesterday, I was leaning towards the Skins winning a close one.  They still could.  Atlanta is up and down like us.  They can be had.  But so can we.

 

This is almost a pick 'em....but Atlanta is 3-0 at home.  

 

I don't think we'll look as bad as the Chicago game but I don't think we'll break Atlanta's home streak.

Luckily for Ron and JDR Atlanta is afraid to feature their best players on offense.  They'll find a way to run Allgeier 20 times and ignore Pitts, for starters.  Keep Bijan under 10 touches.  But Ridder just had maybe his best game so maybe their coach will try to pass more. Regardless JDR will be in his vanilla rush 4 deep match zone and it will be real inviting to copy cat what the Bears did. Hope to get the ball first and go deep on double moves. Arthur Smith may be more stubborn than JDR so he may ignore how easily the Bears ran AND passed deep on JDRs base D. We'll see.

 

I boldly predict our shiny new street DB Joshua Kalu will see more snaps this week than our shiny new 2nd rounder Quan Martin.

 

Atlanta plays aggressive on D and are a tough out. Ridder has not lost at home. Since high school. Sorry no Heiny for you. 200 rush yards against later... 2-4 incoming en route to my prediction 2-6.

Week to week league. Two middling teams. I think Sam is better than Ridder so I think we pull it out but ATL’s offense will definitely give us problems. They have a ton of young talent and even if it hasn’t been realized yet, our ****ty defense is not good against talented offenses
