Matt Ryan is looking sharp thus far in the season. pretty impressive throw today with seconds left to put the falcons in field goal range. they have beat green bay and the bears in the last two weeks.

any believers or doubters?

You don't think they got a touch lucky having the incredibly clutch Elam and a shallow kick from the overconfident Bears?

carolina is looking sharp this season and probably will take the division

luck is definately a contributing factor whenever the falcons win a game

beating green bay on the road (even though rogers didnt start) and scoring 20+ on the bears defense are both good signs. most nfl analysts picked them to win 4 games all season (which is still a possibility) and they are already 4-2

hopefully matt ryan will be a qb they can build around in the upcoming years

Based on today's performance against the Bears I think that Matt Ryan will be a big name QB in a few years, and he will have a great career.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Being a Saints fan I am not a fan of anything good the Falcons, Panthers, or Bucs do. However I must say that Matt Ryan looks sharp. He is a rookie coming into the league and while he does have a retty good running game to help he is not just managing the game. He can make almost all the throws, his timing will get better, and the game will slow down for him.

Of course Drew Brees is all world this year, if only we had a kicker we would could be 5-1 or possibly even 6-0 instead of 3-3 this year. I think the Panthers are probably the second best team in the division, as Tampa's D cannot win every game for them and Jeff Garcia just does not scare anyone.

Believer here! They'll at least have a much improved season over last year. It's nice to see the change after everything that happened last year...

I will say that picking up Matt Ryan was the best thing the falcons have done. I do think that the panthers will win the division, but I think that the falcons could potentially be a superbowl contending team again in the next couple of years.

Your Boy Matt Ryan has a lot of potential. I think he'll be a good quarterback soon. That said, he's got his work cut out for him this weekend. Go Birds!! (eagles, that is)

I haven't seen much from Matt Ryan that any quarterback couldn't do. The Falcons are benefiting from a 180 degree turnaround in the offensive line. That's the issue that never got addressed with Vick because of his legs, and that's the reasons smart fans wanted them to take an offensive lineman. They ended up addressing both of the concerns with Ryan and Baker, but the credit goes to Smith for turning around the offensive line and returning to the basics of football: dominate up front and win the game.

thats a decent compliment for a rookie quarterback because that means he's doing everything that all the other pro qb's are doing. i'll take that on sunday.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
