Julio has 21 receptions for just about 400 yards in his last two games. Does he get the Rob Ryan "Dez Bryant" treatment?

Double Julio with corner and safety on every play?
Keenan man up on Roddy White?
Make Harry Douglas beat you?

The defensive line has to come to play. Bottom line. They couldn't get any pressure on Ryan the first game and he aired it out. Then they couldn't stop washed up running backs...totally got torched for 500 plus yards total offense. The o line for the Falcons was average at best, then their first round pick lineman goes down at the half. They put back up in and we still couldn't get any pressure on Ryan. Saints D better get off their asses and play with a Chip on their shoulder.

Great thing is he will not be 100% no way no how.

I hope the strategy is not "make Harry Douglas beat you" because he has done exactly that to the Saints a few times in the past, he's had several clutch catches that extended drives in games where we either lost in overtime or the final minutes, or in games that we won but which were much closer than they ever should have been because of Douglas breaking free and making big plays in clutch time....

I agree...but that was with Corey White on him and Ryan with lots of time. We do need pressure.

They actually did get a lot of pressure, Ryan had an unbelievable run of luck getting away from it and still making throws (probably because the Secondary sucked)

Our o-line sucks. Just rush the passer and you'll win. We can't run and apparently if Julio is out we can't do shite but punt really well.

Congrats on the NFC South. You've earned that participation ribbon you'll be receiving here shortly.

Could work. He put up 10 catches for 130 yards Sunday with Julio out.

I didn't get to catch our last game doing family stuff with my gfs family, but were they that bad sunday? Because they had actually been doing somewhat decent before sunday at least.

We won't win the NFCS, but julio will be in against the Saints, so this will be a big game for him.

Who's Douglas, why's he Harry, and more importantly, why is he beating me?

Matt Ryan took one of the worst shots I've seen a QB take this season. Unblocked DE rushed and hit him full steam from the blind side. I was amazed he got up. It did take him about 20 seconds though. Yea, he had to scramble a lot. Even put up positive rushing yards with the sacks.

Sure, if you want a "NFC South Champs 2014" with a losing record banner. Knock yourself out. Are you actually going to use that to brag to other NFC South teams?

No, the 2009 banners do that.

Okay, so this year's divisional title is more of a Burger King crown, but who cares?



Wear it proudly!

They did an ok job. Steven Jackson has decent runs and Ryan wasn't pressured much on his pick 6. They did let him get absolutely crushed on one play that drew a roughness foul although it was a clean shot.
