    Ravens vs Blue Falcons

    Perception versus reality seems to be a real problem for both of these
    teams. The Ravens lie about their off field indiscretions while the
    Falcons lie about how good their football team will be.

    Key questions:

    Is Matt Ryan going to have time in the pocket if his rookie left
    tackle is playing on a BAD ANKLE (apparently this in important in
    gaining leverage against a 280lb bull rushing defensive lineman) and
    your rookie tackle is not named Jake Long or Joe Thomas?* Just ask
    Jared Allen

    Generally I'm not a trends type of guy, but* will a 1-7 ATS record vs
    Baltimore, 0-4 ATS vs non-divisional rivals in 2014 (apparently
    Falcons only like facing their rivals) and an 0-6 road losing mean the
    Falcons are due or done?

    What happens in the NFL when a top ten rushing offense (like-BAL) goes
    against a bottom barrel rush defense (like-ATL) ?

    We can all agree the best thing going for the Falcons are their
    wide-receivers (Julio and Roddy). Doees this make up for a sad excuse
    of a secondary having to hold down the Smith Brothers, Steve and
    Torrey, who will be able to get behind a defense being gutted by the
    run?

    If Steve Smith closed his twitter account will he be spending more
    time playing candy crush or studying the Falcons defense?

    Is chasing the Cincinnati Bengals analogous to Chasing Amy?* Because,
    one might think there' d be a bit of a drop-off after two blow-out
    wins at home and against the practice squad that is the Tampa Bucs.
    But when you're chasing the Bengals does any of that get into your
    head?

    Finally, like Tupac said...it's just me (or us Ravens) against the
    world...I love how teams turn off the field travesty into success...and no
    team seems to accomplish this better than the Ravens..

    *Raven or Falcon, which bird wins in a fight?

    Fact: there are more teams named after birds in the NFL than any other
    mascot and birds are the last remaining descendants of dinosaurs.
