Griz in the National Football League: Biermann has good day in Falcons’ loss
Kroy Biermann, defensive end, Atlanta Falcons: The Hardin native had three tackles, three assists and a sack in the Falcons’ 24-21 loss to the Colts.
“That’s one of the things, that’s not an accuracy issue on that particular play”, Ryan said. The veteran threw an interception on the first play of the game, where there was a few miscommunication with him and Coby Fleener.
Romo’s first completion back in pouring rain was left-handed toss out of end zone to avoid a safety. DiMarco sneaked out of the backfield and no one picked him up.
When the Falcons began 5-0, they looked like a lock for the playoffs.
“From this point on, especially if you’re (offensive coordinator) Kyle Shanahan, you better start game-planning around his shortcomings because now, that’s what you have at quarterback, a guy with short-comings that you have to game-plan around”, Cross said on Monday. The only problem is Cole’s age may have diminished his skills to the point where he is no longer a solid pass rusher. The Colts have 46 yards rushing, fifteen carries, no touchdowns. The Colts have also been limiting the playing time of their older signings in an effort to preserve them for later in the season.
And in Atlanta’s other two losses-home to Tampa Bay and at New Orleans-turnovers decided the outcome.

Every coach hates losing fumbles. He dumped off a middle screen to Bradshaw, who hustled in from seven yards out to cut the deficit in half, 14-7.
2 TDS FOR DIMARCO: Atlanta fullback Patrick DiMarco had only one career scoring catch in four seasons before having two touchdown receptions in the first half.

“We haven’t finished a game in about a month”, Falcons wide receiver Roddy White told ESPN. That one was, however, a perplexing forced ball into crowded zone coverage.
On the other hand, the Falcons have played great football this season. Ryan, cerebral as he is, has always had a slight tendency to take the bait and make a foolish throw or two into disguised or tight coverages. He said he never saw Jackson on the fourth-quarter interception. In typical McAfee fashion he gave a playful backhanded compliment to Adam Vinatieri “Let’s talk about Adam (Vinatieri)”.
The loss for the Tennessee Titans leaves them in the basement of the AFC South on 2-8, and now in desperate need of a string of wins to get them back into contention. The Colts pass defense is the league’s fifth worst, and while injuries have played no small role, this week has plenty of those two. Quinn has created an array of personnel packages, allowing a unit that got lighter and faster over the offseason to stay fresh for all four quarters.
Most likely, Atlanta’s fate hinges on how well its offense functions. Still, this is a team with Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.
PASSING DEFENSE: D – Rookies Jalen Collins and Akeem King, who took over at nickel back from Phillip Adams, both struggled and had costly penalties during the Colts’ third-quarter touchdown drive. You can more or less stick a fork in anyone else’s chances, and the Falcons and Buccaneers will now be fighting for a wild card spot.
