The Falcons are 1st in yards and PPG, but not rushing. They're 16th in that category. Pittsburgh is 1st in rushing, they had two 100yd rushers in the same game vs Carolina lol.

I didn't mean the Falcons were first in rushing. I just meant they were gaining over 120 on the ground, so... *tongue*

Thanks for the stats. We are looking okay defensively, especially considering who we've played, aside from turnovers. Looks like we have a chance of getting a couple this weekend! (Them too, though. Boo!)

Offensively, about what I had imagined. Looks like we are taking care of the ball fairly well (aside from the Pats game, of course). That's good to see.

Coach Mike Smith said on Friday that Roddy White (hamstring) will "absolutely" start Week 4 at the Vikings.

White has gotten in two limited practice sessions to start the week, putting him on track to return after missing the Falcons' Week 3 rout of the Bucs. The Vikings play outdoors now, which doesn't make the matchup as comfy for Atlanta.

Case in point -

the Vikings face their old nemesis -- Hester has scored three times as many touchdowns against them as any other team

Harry Douglas (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Vikings.

Douglas is expected to play despite the "Q" tag. He practiced in full Wednesday and Thursday, but "didn't go as hard" on Friday.

And what the enemy is saying after the game. See we're not the only negative fans in the league.

I haven't seen a defense this bad since the dreaded... **** I can't remember the last time I seen a D this bad. Texans expansion team?

No, we ABSOLUTELY have to start talking crap. This team and front office deserve every bit of venom that we can muster.

Heads need to roll.

The Vikings are without AP and their starting QB yet some Falcons fans use injuries as an excuse for losing.

Totally embarrassed and ashamed.

Excuse: Minnesota is one of those "Legal smoke states"..

Mike Nolan does not deserve a pay check this week nor does anyone on defense to include the head coach. Offense the Falcons are golden.

Josh McDaniels got into it with Mike Nolan for doing the same stupid crap. BEING CUTE PUTTING LINEMEN IN COVERAGE STUPID ZONE BLISS DON EVEN FOOL A ROOKIE QB. WHY HE WAS FIRE HERE IN DENVER. I want an ages dive minded defensive coordinator

lmao matty tryna inflate those stats comes back to bite him

What on earth is the point of doing that other than making your stat look even worse? More stupid smith logic

Some of y'all thought we were crazy for thinking we were going to make Bridgewater and the Vikes look good...

I mean this is absolutely one of the most embarrassing defensive performances I've ever seen from my team. Outside of last week we haven't stopped an offense/QB since the 2012 season. It's time for some pink slips to be issued.

TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE START WITH DUMMYTROFF AND BAT SMITH CRAZY

Yep, i've been telling people all week this was going to happen. It's been a constant with mike smith to make rookie qbs look like tom brady. it's just enexcusable at this point and I'm sick of all this time just wasted watching a team that has a coach that is going to lay an egg every time we face a **** rookie.

Haha this guy is my favorite, sounds like us Vikings fans.

Yeah since frosted started this I've been getting a kick outa reading enemy boards. I found a couple more good ones here. This team beat the Bucs 56-14 last week and we went 2 games without a TD, so I feel their pain lol. It's still funny. So many of their fans are blaming the loss on their injuries. WTF? How many players of ours missed the entire game because of injuries?

We cant even win a shootout with the vikings smh. Couldn't take advantage of a rookie. Couldn't take advantage of a ap-less vikings. Didn't take advantage of a panthers loss. I guess ap taught the team how to discipline children without using a switch. Waited allll **** day to watch this weak *** performance AND we lost the oline when it finally looked like we could keep the pocket clean enough for matty.

Chit happens LOL ......we were supposed to beat University of Minny by 35+ right home clowns ? After all we hung 56 on Sucs who proceeded to beat the Steelers in Pitt ....Posted Image

41 points from the vikings smh

Smh 556 yards. Was it ahefter or hassleback that was getting blasted for picking the vikings?

Teddy is the King of NFL for a week

Just end this horrible game!!!! Please!!!

It looks like sombody has been treating our defense with female hormones

PUKE PUKE PUKE. I am DISGUSTED by our defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm vikings are without AP, Rudolph, Bridgewater right now, Greenway

This guy is so right lol. They gave up 41 to our B squad. AND they had 10 days to prepare for us lol.

Taints beat this team and we get slapped by them

Blake Shelton: "I have big news. The Vikes shoved Teddy Bridgewater's foot straight up our defense's azz."

This is the most disgusting game I've seen in the Smitty era. (Even more than the playoff beat downs, because at least those beat downs came from world champion teams).

What an absolute shitshow of a franchise this has become.

Can't draft, can't play defense, can't win on the road.

Just pathetic, absolutely ******* disgusting

Our defense is a bunch of toddlers, and their o is filled with Michael Jacksons

Ain't that the truth lol. We probably won't get to do this too often. It's good stuff though. Maybe it's best if I just post the link to their game day thread. It's only 130+ pages long haha. I'm just glad it's not just our fans who get this suicidal. Well here you guys go if you get bored and need a pick me up.

Falcons Game Day Thread

Vikings, a team that stinks, with their 3rd string QB, with no AP, are laughing at,us.

Something needs to get fired

That was great. I thought you were exaggerating when you said 131 pages, but it is! (rofl)

I didn't look through hardly any of them (let alone 131 pages worth) but of the two pages I saw, this one caught my eye:
