Can't afford to get my hopes up, but my Falcons have been very impressive offensively to start the season.
For all the criticism he has copped, Shanahan has Matt Ryan and the offensive team working really well together. We are no longer reliant on just Julio Jones for receivers, and Freeman and Coleman have brought back our rushing game that has been missing since
Michael Turner finished up with us.
Crucial to Ryan's form is Alex Mack I feel. Ryan has so much time to throw the ball, Mack orchestrating that offensive line. 500 yards and 4 TD's today, unreal. Julio after a quiet season thus far put up a franchise record 300+ receiving yards today, too.
Massive test against Denver in week 5. Still not sure how we are getting by with little or no pass rush, but our offense is putting up big numbers, it's hiding the big flaw in our game. Shut down Ryan and co. Atlanta is done.
3-1, didn't think I'd be saying that at the start of the season. Win that and we start to look like a team capable of making the playoffs.
