    Damn did that win feel good.

    I really wanted Love to go over 300 yards but I’ll still take it. That’s me being selfish. That tight window TD throw was something. That fake handoff was something. Love looks so poised out there. Really doesn’t seem like much fazes this guy.

    It’s nice to see the guys fired up on the sidelines after awesome plays. This team looks fun again.

    Was anyone else nervous during that onside kick?

        Crazy how it’s been almost a decade and that game will always be on our minds.

        I can’t imagine what Falcons fans deal with after their Superbowl loss.

    Packers defense gave up over 400 yards yesterday. Yes, it forced three turnovers, but we still have a huge defensive problem on this team.

    There was a crosser that went for 15ish yards and a first down that shows the progress this offense has made as a whole.

    Shotgun, 2 receivers to the left, Reed in the slot on the right. Love immediately looks left with a 1 step drop timing, doesn’t like either of the throws on the left, looks at the Reed crosser with 3 step drop timing and it immediately comes out on time to a wide open Reed. The whole thing works because Reed slows down and finds the soft spot between the linebackers in coverage, he doesn’t keep running across the field and end up covering himself. The offensive line gives the play enough time to develop.

    It’s little things like that that someone would mess up earlier in the season. It takes all 11 guys and they had their best game collectively yesterday.

    Also, Malik Heath played 11 snaps yesterday on offense. He had 4 catches and was a DOG in the run game.
