It's over already

 

much like Michigan against Ohio State and Texas...the Rams aren't prepared for Vick

I thought this Atlanta defense was supposed to be good.

They've been off for a few weeks, so they are probably just starting slow.

I think they ranked about 14th, which to me isn't great, but was much better than their 32nd ranked defense last year.

That's it? I'm pretty sure that I've heard several times this year that they were winning because of the defense.

 

This game is like watching two people play a video game.

Not slow as in being tired, foo. Slow as in not into the flow of the game.

"It's almost like the defense is seeing what Michael Vick and Warrick Dunn are going to do before they react."

 

Should they react to something that hasn't happened yet?

Well going from 32 to 14 is a hell of a difference, so defense has helped them.

True, but I've just gotten the impression that the defense was good instead of just middle of the road.

You went along with everyone who was trying to be a hero.

That's what happens when a mediocre defense faces Vick. He can make good defenses look bad and mediocre defenses look comical. However, the Rams are still playing notably bad.

Other than that run on the first drive, Vick isn't the one making the D look bad. They've been overpursuing on EVERYONE, notably Dunn, playing what seems to be a prevent defense, and missing every tackle they attempt. The catch on 3rd and 10 where there wasn't a Ram within 10 yards of the receiver, and the whiff on Dunn on the third touchdown run were just atrocious.

It's Vick's presense, man. After that big run, his mere presense has the Rams all fucked up. Vick is on their minds and they've stopped focusing on the Falcons as a whole.

The Rams could win this game if they had anything resembling a defense. What has Adam Archuleta done to have everyone on his nuts?
