FALCONS DEFENSE
If you think about the Falcons games this season, they have rarely been out of a game at halftime or even at the end of the third quarter so the defense was keeping them in it as much as could be expected. The problem in my opinion was the offense did absolutely nothing to help keep the offense off the field so they eventually got tired. Other than the debacle against Tennessee (losing a 21 point lead is unforgivable), the Falcon defense has pretty much been the highlight for this team.
BCS
Plain and simple, USC should be playing LSU. Both teams have done what they needed to year round and though all three lost one game, none of them were blowouts except for OU. There is no explaining this in any form or fashion. PLAYOFFS, PLAYOFFS, PLAYOFFS. HOw can I - AA do playoffs but the 'BIG BOYS' can't....ridiculous.....

Snow sucks...it's not pretty, it's not fun, it's a damn nuisance....nothing but a nuisance. It impairs my freedom and makes me sick and cold. It is Mother Nature's unnecessary weapon. There is no benefit providded by snow that has not been taken care of by simple rain fall....just a nuisance...
Now to a better topic because as I mentioned previously, snow sucks so we should not talk about it. Not only is former Hokie Michael Vick the reason for the Falcons existence, he may just be the savior of professional sports in Atlanta. With a perennial playoff contender in the Braves, Michael Vick can single handedly get more people to come watch a losing team than the Braves can get to come to a playoff game. But though Vick's numbers were outstanding, I think the gameball still goes to the Defense in this game. They picked it up like they haven't done since the first game of the season against what we come to find out is a decent Cowboys team (that is destined to lose to Washington next week). Not only did they score the game winner, they consistently stuffed Stephen Davis, one of the premier runningbacks in the league, and set the offense up with field position outside of the twenty on a regular basis. Although the secondary did get embarassed by Steve Smith on more than one occasion, all in all the Defense won this game.
But let's refocus on exactly what former Hokie Michael Vick did last night. He outrushed all runningbacks in the game singlehandedly. He broke several ankles (and along with them several egos; most notably notice how Carolina linbacker was wired for sound but rarely had something to say to Mr. Vick, but was all about talking trash to a second or third string OT, yeah big nuts there mr rucker), and countered Joe Theismann's nonstop idiocy in the process. If you heard the game then you know what I'm talking about. It seemed like right before every big Vick run, Theismann had said something about Vick being gassed, and then Boom a 'gassed' Vick is flying by the defense again....Vick is the Falcons right now and once Peerless Price gets use to Vick's passes and the Falcons pick up a halfway decent second receiver, the team will be a playoff contender. Not too mention, TJ Duckett is a bruising runner who should, in my opinion be starting in front of Warrick 'I prefer to juke nobody behind the line of scrimmage before I try to hit the hole' Dunn.
