Could be an interesting day this Sunday..Forecast is for a snowstorm Sat nite thru Sunday afternoon..Not sure how much or how bad..Still several days away..
Actually, the last game he played in was 2003, and the last game he started was 2002.
Actually, the way I see it, there is absolutely no way the Falcons don't end up with Louisville QB Brian Brohm in the draft.

they would rest their players. As much as it doesn't matter for the redskins stand, it would be nice to see the G-Men lose.
Belichick never rests his players.Hasn't doesn't done it since he's been head coach of the Pats.No matter their record going into the Meadowlands,the starters will be out there...
Especially considering they have the first round bye. He won't give them two weeks off in a row to get rusty. The Colts did that in 2005 and we all know how that worked out (lost to the Steelers).
ESPN is reporting that Petrino is going to resign as head coach of the Falcons to take the head coach job at University of Arkansas

If I were a Cowboys fan, I'd be worried about someone offering Jason Garrett a head-coaching job.

SINGLETARY EMERGES AS EARLY FAVORITE TO REPLACE PETRINO
An industry source tells us that 49ers assistant head coach Mike Singletary is the guy whose name has initially popped up in discussions regarding the potential successor to former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino.
Per the source, Blank wants Singletary; Petrino was hired at the behest of G.M. Rich McKay.
There are multiple potential benefits that would flow from such a move. First, Singletary will be (in our view ) a great NFL head coach. Second, the thinking is that he'll straighten out a dysfunctional locker room. Third, the Falcons have the highest concentration of African-American season-ticket holders at 52 percent; in the wake of the Mike Vick fiasco the hiring of an African-American coach could go a long way toward reconnecting with an important segment of the Atlanta fan base.
In our view, however, skin color shouldn't be a factor in any hiring decision. The best person should get the job. But it would be naive to think that Blank isn't thinking about the potential impact of hiring a coach who is of the same race as a majority of the season-ticket holders, especially as the franchise moves forward without a player who is still beloved by many Falcons fans, whether white, black, purple, green, yellow, or red.
At least Singletary has some NFL experience. College coaches haven't fared well going to the NFL..With the exception of Jimmie Johnson (and he had one helluva team talent wise),they have all sucked in the NFL....
Oh, and one other thing about Maroney: DID YOU SEE HIM MOVE THAT PILE 11 YARDS? OWNAGE.
That wasn't all him. A good portion of the offensive line was right there with him. But it was still impressive. I think we'll see quite a bit more running this week against the Jets and next week against the Lolphins (nice name, furcalchick)!
If they were pushing too much the play would have been blown dead
Are you sure? I thought plays were only blown dead when the defensive pile ups had stopped forward progress.
Agreed. Muroney's legs were still churning. But no one alone is strong enough to move 4 NFL defensive players backwards. Pats O-Line was definitely helping. Look at it again. It was a scrum, a la Aussie Rules Football.

Who wants to hire this guy? He signs a 10 year contract with Louisville and then bounces. Then he signs a 5 year contract with Atlanta and bounces before the season is over. At least finish out the season you ungrateful bastard. I would never hire him as a head coach with his past actions.
yeah i know, and that should be illegal. you aren't supposed to be able to push your own player forward. he should have to do it himself. just like you can't pick up a player and carry him
Maybe not move 4 defensive players, but the play reminded me of how Jim Brown used to do that repeatedly for the Browns. Still an impressive run.Agreed. Muroney's legs were still churning.

I'll accept typo corrections from anyone.....but MacNut.Maroney
