Atlanta Falcons Invincible in Dome, Difficult To Beat in Reality

Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesWith all due respect to a team with a relatively exalted turnaround,reachingthe level of prominence at theGeorgia Dome, a venue thatendures an engaging consciousness for the realization of theAtlanta Falcons, it's very perceptible gathering an assumptionin 36 Bettis White Jersey
whichAtlantais truly an understatement in the league.After this one, the Falcons are deprived of a prospering streak, perhaps the longestwinning streak since 1998, capping its third straight winning season. Insuch a prolificbusiness,owner Arthur Blank acquired not onlythe franchise in 2002,but has flourishedas the largest owner-funded foundation in the National Football Leagueestablishedto serve the youth, providing grants to nonprofit organizations across thestate ofGeorgia. So there are the Falcons in the finestjoyride,reaching astride with an intimidating offensive scheme led by the weaponry ofa discounted Matt Ryan.For now, however, thereis a proper reaction thatthe epitome of this team isperseverance, conviction andunityas a way toinfluence kidsin the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation, brainwashed by the zealous psyche of thetalented and poised NFC South competitors. Endowed with much star power, from the explosive rushing attack of Michael Turner to the masterfulpassing ability of Ryan, the Falconshave been brilliantasfootball lords wrongly disregardsa 9-2 record.Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesFor those of you who are stilldoubtful of the miraculous progress, the annulment is overblownbadly overshadowing the incredible juncture, having wonnine of10 games within arigid schedule. It amazes me when the Falcons areprecisely the hottest team in the NFC, if not in all of football, howa stubborn-minded populationdepreciates the glamour and quality ofthe relentless Atlanta.It's as if theFalcons are still erstwhile, andnot destructive orpotentfor the postseason tocement as a vitalburdenagainst its opponent. And finally,onceit all began inone of the most loudest venues, defensive endJohn Abraham, theFalcons' sack leader, had recovered from a groin injury he sufferedtwo weeks ago. Last week, he tried to endurethe pain and play, butafter workoutshours before kickoff the coaching stafflisted him inactive and coachMike Smith carefully took precautionary actions on seemingly the Falcons' best defensive star.Now, all thisgibberishregarding the Falcons isn't all sotrue, not if they are thepowerful ones of the NFC, amazingly reminding us of the relevancy and titillation ofAmerica's popular sport. How good are the Falcons? In truth,this team is under the radar and misunderstood for alltheir immeasurable weapons, depth and size. How clutch are the Falcons?Kevin C.

At the beginning of a thrilling showcase, the Falcons exposedablistering,lethal rushing attack. The inexplicable speed of Turner exhausted the wearybodies of Packers defenders, andhe was allowed to demonstrate quickness and agility on his home turf, leading the Falcons inconsiderably a much-needed win.At long last, it appeared thatAtlantaseriously loomed a menace in the NFC, a conference no one ever imagined the Falcons beingon the pathwaytojustify much description. As to the immediate future, the Falconsbalance and polish is a sign of ambition, builtaround the instantimprovement ofSmith's vigorouscapacity as a defensive specialist, Ryan's mobility and precision, and lastly Turner's motion on the ground.On both sides of the ball,in the midst oftheFalcon's emergence,what fun to watcha dynamic offense dictate themomentum in every game.Make no mistake,they find ways to win by either brilliantly attacking on the ground or through the air. This is what best describes the Falcons, an offense-oriented team with the habit of 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
maneuvering the pace of the game and outplaying a solid defensive unit. But soon enough, insidetheir domain, wherea noisyfan base unconditionally loves the Falcons, they'll be consideredin conversationfor mounting to superiority in the league as winning has evolved intocommonplace. Admittedly,any other town,rooting on any other team, should be nervous, somewhat terrified of the Falconsthird straight winning season.My assumption ispeople will dwell on the impressive streak in the postseason,but as of now, the folksbarely raveon such a brilliant season theFalcons are entertaining, busypraising other teams based on tradition andgrandiosity. The disrespect looms at Atlanta, even if therabid fans appreciate the growth ofthe overlooked Falcons.It's time for the worldto realizethis team is real.The problem, of course, is that no one iskind in recognizing the rapid quickness of Turner. He couldn't possibly have been forgotten, where he has harvested hisaccomplished careeras the primary running backof a predominantteam. All because of his speedy cleats, he had 110 yards on the ground, leading the Falcons to another significant scene, becoming acommon pattern in Atlanta.Before the Falcons played the Packers on Sunday, which had won its last three games, Ryan was already verified as a star. What is knowingly is that a star was born, ever since his arrival a few seasons ago, during his impressive rookie season, a year the Falcons' faithful became accustomed to his ability to shine as a team leader and inside the locker room. It's very alarming what the Falcons have done in their domain, as the Packers fell victim at an energized place where the carnival crowd turned nuts, witnessing the home team run the ball and throw it."We are fighting for home-field advantage," Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson said. "We are on a roll and feeling good in here. It's huge to play here. It's home. It's energy. We play with more confidence here. It's a family atmosphere. We feed off the crowd and they feed off of us. When I came here from Houston, they used to say, 'Hey baby, we're in the dome today.' And I was like, 'What does that mean?' I found out."Yeah, it's home sweet dome.There’s no place like a festive, electrifying environment. Afterwards, the Falcons celebrated and won seven consecutive games in the dome, just as Ryan improved to 19-1 at home, amazingly winning 15 straight games within its territory. It's worth pointing out that the Falcons prefer home cooking, rather than room service. What mattered the most is that the Falcons featured a rare breed in Ryan, carefully flinging the ball to his favorite target receiver Roddy White. As usual, he accounted for 24 of 28passes that ultimately was a factorindemoralizing the Packers anddismantling defensive coordinator Dom Capers' philosophy by exploiting hisefficient mobility and craftiness to connect with nine different receivers against one of 36 Bettis Black Jersey
the league's top defenses and produce two 14-play, 80-yard, seven-and-a-half-minute touchdown drives."He's smart. He read our coverages. He ran outside the pocket and made some third-down throws. I had a lot of respect for him coming in. I feel no differently now," Capers said.It would be fair to applaud the special teams, most notably by Eric Weems when he returned a kickoff 40 yards and endured a yanking of the facemask, which led to a penalty on Matt Wilhelm. In the next sequence, Ryan started from the Packers 49 and simplycompleted four consecutive passes to advance the ball to the 29, to make way forthe game-winning field goal.For one afternoon the Packers, one of thetop-notch teams, led byAaron Rodgers, had trouble slowing down the Falcons unstoppable speed on defense.It's alwaysnice to credit the winners.In retrospect, the Falcons are real.
