Stay out of my territory.
Falcons
--26th in points scored, 24th in yards gained
--28th in points allowed, 25th in yards allowed
--They haven’t scored more than 30 points all season (and 30 only twice, WFT, Miami)
--Ridley, ATL’s #1 WR is out and has only played in 5 games
--They’ve been held to 17 or fewer points 6 times out of the 13 games played so far
On offense, we should have success both running and passing. The ATL rush defense is in the bottom 3rd of the league and their pass rush is dead last in sacks and sacks per game. Expect the Falcon D to sell out to stop the run and make the Niners pass.
On defense, we’ve got to watch Kyle Pitts at TE and C.Patterson at RB/WR. They are most of the team’s offense.
I hate using the term winnable game, but this is a game we should win rather easily b/c we should be able to move the ball either on the ground or in the air and since the Falcons best WR is out, their passing attack isn't anywhere close to as good as the one we faced last week in Cincy. As we've discussed in other threads, this game has big playoff implications, as a win here all but locks the Niners into the playoffs.
