How are the Falcons this year?
Scored a shit ton of points. Matt looked more confident than ever. Threw two passes that I would call bad (both behind Roddy, one around the five yard line, which should've given him room to run in and score, the other catchable by Roddy but a bit behind).

Defense woke up in the second half and created three turnovers. Unfortunately, Brent Grimes - our best corner - hurt his achilles and is out for the season. Good thing we brought in Dunta. Bad thing we have to rely on Chris Owens again (our own Jarrett Bush/Jason Webster). Losing Suggs is a bigger loss for y'all, but Grimes is the dynamic playmaker at corner.

Asante you mean? I agree with all his points. Turner didn't have much of an impact in the run game. I think he will be limited to 10-15 carries a game with the others going to Rodgers. Our pass defense is as bad as ever and now with the loss of Grimes it will only expose us more.

Dent didn't even play many snaps and was a non factor as we played mostly Nickel with having three good CBs. The test comes quick with Peyton coming to the Dome and running a base 4-3 against that passing attack or continue with the nickel D with Owens in Dunta's spot.

Julio is a beast btw.

Chris Houston says Randy Moss is a possession receiver

Few players in NFL history respond more aggressively and decisively to external criticism than 49ers receiver Randy Moss. What makes him great (i.e., the ability to muster a high degree of motivation when antagonized) also has been his greatest flaw (i.e., an inability to consistently muster that motivation absent external motivation).

Lions cornerback Chris Houston risked riling up Randy Moss on Monday, in advance of Detroit’s trip to San Francisco. According to Josh Katzenstein of the Detroit News, Houston said Monday that Moss is a “possession receiver.” Houston added that he doesn’t think Moss can “take the top off” the defense.

Given Detroit’s well-documented problems in the defensive secondary, it’s not the smartest thing Houston ever has said. With Moss snaring a touchdown pass in the 49ers’ Week One win over the Packers, Houston shouldn’t give Moss any extra reason to try even harder to make an impact.

After all, Moss once racked up three touchdowns against the Lions after he was supplied external motivation. And that motivation didn’t even come from the Lions; it came from ESPN’s Merril Hoge, who accused Moss of taking plays off.

not that i agree or disagree but why would you even want to risk riling someone up when you are a player on one of the worst secondaries in the league?
