Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets, Dec 20, 2009 1:00 PM EST
And a happy Sunday to those of you like me who awoke to around a foot of snow in the local area. Hope you got your shoveling done early. Once again our heroes take the field looking to keep their hopes alive. A win guarantees a .500 season at worst, which is nothing to laugh at with a rookie head coach and quarterback. Our hopes run a little higher at this point, though.

Can’t wait for this game, really hoping for a good performance. Chauncey Washington and David Clowney both inactive for today’s game.

Falcons' fan here
The beginning of this season was so promising to both teams, but things turned sour very soon. Your team is somewhat similar to the 2008 Falcons – relying on power running game, with rookie QB and head coach. The difference is D, obviously.
I’m sure the Jets are heavily favored today, with all this #1 defense, no Ryan-no Turner, and bad weather talk. I think it will be a close game nevertheless and the kickers and punters will decide a lot.
Good luck, but hope we win and make a decisive step toward getting this big monkey off of our shoulders. We win by 3

Absolutely, best of luck and I think it will be a close one, but can see us coming out with a 20-17 type scoreline. Will see which Sanchez turns up

actually, originally - from Uzbekistan
which may sound even more surprising. I live in Moscow at the moment, but went to business school in Atlanta -so there are the roots of being a Falcons’ fan.
returning to the game – I am amazed by how true my prediction was, we won by 3. but you guys should’ve done much better this year with your defense! you gave up only one big play – that TD pass on 4th and goal. Maybe Sanchez grows up or you find a better kicker like we did not long ago – Jason Elam cost us several games…

Strahan says Woodson’s the best corner in football then picks Atlanta. I wonder if he’ll ever have anything good to say about the Jets.

First botched FG shouldn't have happened
3rd and goal from the two, your defense has snuffed them on all bu the INT drive. Go for it on 4th down. If you don’t make it you still back them up to around the 1-3 yard line. They go for it and don’t make it, I say they’d get a safety out of it.
Fantastic job by Sanchez to maintain his composure under pressure!

This game and the other two have been unbearable
I honestly wish we had lost all of them by 30. In each case, I would have gotten to enjoy my Sunday instead of sitting here feeling nauseous.
This is a bold statement:
But we need to jettison all our QB’s in the offseason. Keep Ainge if you have to retain somebody. This is a complete team short maybe a more solid slot receiver, a kicker, and a QB.
We had high hopes
Even though we should know better. Can’t blame fans for wishing.
its just bullshit. its all bullshit, unnecessary bullshit. idiot misses 4 fieldgoals? wtf? absurd.
Thomas Jones runs this league
and then dipshit folds under any type of pressure and does what he does best and throws it to the other team..

You are right in that we have the makings of a great team. Not calling for anyones head by any means. I still like Feely. I would be happy though if we could ship kerry rhodes and gholston in the offseason.
But still cant shake off how this season his gone….. what a rollercoaster ride. A bad one.

Great defensive game by both teams
Ryan should make sure Jones runs more and Sanchez passes less
Only difference was Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez did his thing with a clutch TD on 4th down
True it was a bitter way to end the game.
Jets D played great all day
Without Jenkins Jet D has had one great year
Even in this loss only gave up 10 points
Got to figure TG or White would get one TD at some point
Poor offense and special teams play was the weak point in this game
"Poor" would be a severe understatement describing our special teams play.
(aside from Brad Smith returns) 0-4 field-goals is unacceptable
Thomas Jones runs this league
controversial statment 121212312312
We would have won that game if Kellen Clemens wasn’t on the roster.
