Up next: San Francisco


The Falcons offense has underperformed in their three outings, averaging just 19 points a game. Coming into the season all the talk was about how prolific the scoring would be. It's yet to happen. With San Francisco looming, the Falcons will go toe to toe with a better defensive team than any of they others they've faced so far. San Francisco is coming off a shutout, albeit against the St. Louis Lambs.... I mean Rams. Coach Singletary has the Forty-Niners playing great on the defensive side of the ball. San Fran is off to a 3-1 start, just seconds separate them from a 4-0 start. Will Atlanta be able to constantly keep the chains moving? Will Michael Turner carry this team on his back like he was able to do so many times in 08? These are the biggest question marks going into week 5. What we're not too worried about is the Forty-Niner offense. Shaun Hill has played well thus far, but the loss of pro-bowl running back Frank Gore is devastating. Wide Receivers Issac Bruce, and Josh Morgan don't exactly strike fear into the secondary. Vernon Davis however is having a breakout year. Atlanta has yet to be prove itself against a stud tight end. With the loss of Frank Gore, San Fran will be handing the ball off the Glen Coffee, who was less than impressive last weekend. Coffee only managed 74 yards on 24 carries. Coffee is averaging a measly 2.3 yards per attempt on the young season. Stopping him should be no problem. I just don't foresee that offense putting up anything north of 24 points.
