Im a bit surprised Brent Grimes starting over Chris Owens. Also Schillinger made the team, hope DeCoud stays healthy. Im sure Moore and Coleman would switch if that happens.

IIRC, Dunta is injured. Is he healthy and playing? Personally, I think it's going to be a low scoring game.

Dunta will be playing, and a low scoring game would not surprise me at all. That being said, I'll go ahead and predict a 21-13 Falcons victory.

i have an unusually high amount of faith in dixon for some reason....guess im willing to give him a chance to show he should have been the man for the job all along.
steelers dont lose home openers.....27-20

Falcons don't lose openers in the Mike Smith/TD era. I think steelers won like their last 7 or something. Doesn't scare me. I said it before I think we have a much better team on paper. If we lose, we lose, that's it. We'll see which Dixon shows up on sunday. That will be the real ticker.

I don't fear their QB or their secondary in the slightest. I worry we will be too conservative and rely too much on Turner. The best way to beat the Steelers is to spread them out, force them to expose their blitzing hand, and air it out versus their mediocre at best secondary.

secondary really isnt bad at all, especially with mcfadden and polamalu in the lineup, mediocre at best would be how i would describe the falcons DBs

Oh I know, if you had Ben Roethlisberger I would be scarred. Unless something strange happens I don't think Dennis Dixon can take advantage of our secondary.

Im delighted with you calling our DBs mediocre at best. I didn't know they were that good.
Even with donta now.

Quick question....
If the Falcons defense finishes 25th or lower, is Brian VanGorder
in or out next year?

I don't think it will happen but if it does it's hard to see BVG out.
If it was up to me, he wouldn't be coaching this year.

I posted it in the Gameday thread, but noone responded. Anyone want to do a Avy bet for a week? If Steelers win, someone has to wear a Steeler avy. If the Falcons win, then I have to where an Atlanta sig.
