Center Joe Hawley and RT Lamar Holmes are going on season ending IR.

Safety William Moore is going IR designated to return.

This NFCS crown is going to belong to us once again if we can get it together now!

USA Today:

"Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Roddy White are very good. But they’re not good enough to offset a serious contender for the league’s worst defense. Desmond Trufont and Robert Alford are fine young corners, but outside of them, Atlanta’s defense is devoid of talent. The pass rush is non-existent and the run defense is now allowing 153 rushing yards per game. On Sunday, they had Teddy Bridgewater, Matt Asiata and Jarius Wright looking like the 90’s Cowboys."

Sad thing is, we don't have running game while they cant stop any running back.

NFL.com:

"It's tough to watch the Falcons play defense. Their young cornerbacks are talented, but they can't cover for six seconds every play while opposing quarterbacks relax and survey the field. They have two quarterback hits in the last two weeks combined. Their only sack on Sunday against Eli Manning came after he had plenty of time to throw. ... the Falcons ' lack of a pass rush will make it tough to win games"

we have 0 pass rush. ZERO. Our secondary would be GREAT if we had any type of pass rush. Trufant is putting up top 5 numbers so far this year despite that. I can't imagine how we'd look if we had any pass rush. The run game is because our LBs suck a fat chode. Worrilow consistently picks the wrong hole and doesn't drive rather he gets driven. Bartu is fine in coverage poo in the run game. Our DTs are actually pretty solid shockingly. They maintain their lanes and get decent enough pressure. but we have no type of rush from the outside and i mean none. and our blitz's suck.

Yahoo Sports:

"Matt Forte had the monster day we all imagined he'd have against Atlanta's not-so-stout defense, gaining 157 yards, catching ten balls and finding the end-zone twice. Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery dominated the Falcons DBs, each topping 100 yards, and Jay Cutler passed for a season high 381 yards while avoiding game-altering turnovers."

When Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is under pressure this season, he has a 59.4 passer rating, compared to 107.5 when he isn’t.

NFL.com:

"The Bears held the Falcons to 287 yards of offense, allowed them to convert on third/fourth down just four times in 15 attempts, sacked Matt Ryan four times, picked him off another time and gave up a grand total of 13 points to a team averaging 46.5 per game at home."

Sports Illustrated:

"The Falcons' 12 first downs matched their lowest total since putting up five in a 2007 loss, with Chris Redman at quarterback"

CBS Sports:

"The Bears won on the road [@ATL] this past week without their top four linebackers or their left tackle."
