Thoughts on Saints-Falcons

It was a good win yesterday heading into the bye week.

Things I liked:

• NO turnovers.  They win whenever they don't turn the ball over.

• The run defense.  The run D has gotten short shrift all season.  They're not as bad as people say.  They have been able to stop teams from running on them when they want to.
  

• Getting Marques Colston and Robert Meachem more involved.  They need to get Devery Henderson more involved, too, but it wasn't only the Sproles/Graham show this week and that's a good thing.

• The pass blocking.  Drew had a pretty clean pocket all day.

• Thomas Morestead.  His punts and kickoffs have been great all year.

• That Mike Smith is that scared of Sean Payton and Drew Brees.
  

• I like that the Falcons are answering all the questions this morning.

Things I didn't like:

• The Jimmy Graham drops.  He's going to be a great player but he has to keep his head in the game.  That penalty on him on the field goal try was bogus, though.

• The way the Falcons breezed down the field to tie the game.

• Harry Douglas eating their lunch all day in the middle of the field.

• The pass rush still not getting home.

• The defense putting up stops and the offense not doing anything about it early.  Made the game a lot closer than it needed to be.

• Roman Harper dropping an interception that would have iced the game.  He had a good game otherwise.
