Falcons Corner

In soccer, there is a chant for when a fan doesn't think a player is worthy or good enough to play for their team that goes like this, "You're not fit to wear the shirt!". Well that's exactly how I feel about the majority of these Atlanta Falcons. The roster is made up of about ten NFL calibre players and the rest are journeyman who I would happily leave in Dallas. A spineless unprepared showing from the Falcons leaves them with little doubt on where they stack up against playoff level opposition. It's not good enough. I feel for the fans who spent their hard earned money traveling to Dallas to watch this debacle. The last time we trailed by 33 or more at half time was 1967.

Despite being huge underdogs the Falcons are coming into this game on a high after defeating the New Orleans Saints 27-25 last Sunday. Before he was forced to miss the trip to Minnesota in week 7 due to injury, Dak Prescott was the best quarterback in the NFL this season. Although he is coming off one of the worst games of his career, that was against a menacing Br...
