"Now with two games to go in the regular season, we find the Falcons in a most familiar position - at the crossroads. A playoff appearance is still very much within reach, but so is the possibility of a second straight idle January.

In other words, time to put up or shut up."

DeAngelo Hall, congratulations on the pro bowl, now forget it, you have to put up or shut up.  Shut Steve Smith down.  Completely!  He gets less than 25 yards receiving and that's it!  If he spits in your face, break his collarbone.  Make it look legitimate.

Chris Crocker, there's a movie out about your school, you can let people know it in the post game interview if you make some plays damn it!  Are you an NFL player or are you an also ran?  You are not exactly a household name.  Break up some passes to Keyshawn.  He gets nothing.  He gets less than 25 yards and that's it.  I am holding you responsible.  If he spits in your face, sprain his wrist.  Make it look legitimate.

Rod Coleman, nice response to my calling you out (I know he reads my blog, what Atlanta Falcon wouldn't?).  Great job on getting two sacks last week, now forget it, call Delhomme a coonass, he'll know what it means, and yes it is acceptable language down in Louisiana, or at least it seemed so to me during my 8 years in Shreveport, and no it does not mean what coon meant to me growing up in Tennesssee, no offense toward you is intended.  If you find out it is exceptionally offensive to him to the point it might get you fined, then maybe you best not say it.  But you better sack his ass no matter what kind of ass it is.  If not, you might find yourself back in Oakland next year where they lose an awful lot and life really sucks!  And oh yeah, if Jake spits in your face, bite his ankle, while under the pile, just slightly enough to leave him limping should do the trick, never mind making it look legit, just make sure nobody sees it.

If we have to be the Dirty Birds to get back to the playoffs, then so be it, obviously all the NFL will do is levee meaningless fines on us so go for it!

Thank you, damn it!
