Something rarely seen, Matt Ryan drops the ball and the Redskins recover.

2 plays later andf the Redskins are deep in Atlanta territory and threatening to score again.

I have been very impressed by the defense of Washington and how they have been able to capitalize and make big plays. This is the kind of play they needed.

Mark Ryan under pressure tries to dump off the ball but Ryan Kerrigan intercepts the ball and runs it in for a touchdown.

This gives the Redskins the first points in the half. Redskins 7 Falcons 0.

At tthe end of the first quarter we have a tied game with no score.

Both teams have had a pretty good showing by their respective defenses. I question if they can keep it up. A number of close up shots on the field has shown a number of pllayers looking a bit winded.

Can Washington be the first to score on this first drive of the quarter? Washing has the ball at mid field.

Sheesh, talk about setting up a blowout. I just saw an update for the Cleveland game. Cleveland Browns have just made their second touchdown against the Giants. That score stands at 14 to 0.

In an attempt to increase their first possession numbers to 4 out of 5, the Falcons end the drive with a punt and are unable to convert on the drive.

It is now the Redskins ball with decent field position.

Ok we are getting ready for the Atlanta game with Washington Redskins.

Last week in this article I picked Atlanta to win by 7. So in a few hours we will know how well I did on that pick.

The weather man says there may be rain coming which can affect the game.

Clemson gets a field goal and gets the lead back from GA Tech.

In reflection on last night’s game, I have to once again congratulate the Rams defense on how well they applied pressure to the quarterback.

If they can continue to break down the offensive lines like this in future games I think we could easily be impressively surprised in a number of future games as the season progresses.

Originally I was picking Green Bay over the Rams in 2 weeks on the 21st of October back in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. But after last nights game I want to study this a bit more. I am not saying I changed my mind just yet about Green Bay being able to win over the Rams, but that game last night shows that the Rams defense has the talent to make some great plays.

And just because Kevin Kolb got the tar beat out of him last night says he is finished. Actually I think it is just the opposite. This guy took such a pounding and just kept on going. Now I am guessing that today some of the muscles he never even knew existed in the human body are sore today but he should be proud.

He can be proud of the performance that he made last night and it really shows how much heart and tenacity he has. Yea plenty of quarterbacks over the years have shown that they could take that kind of pounding from defenses and still get back up and go into the next play like he did.

Ahh yes but, when you think about those quarterbacks names you have envisioned, you consider those names to be some of the better backs over the years don’t you? I think Kevin Kolb has the ability to be listed among those quarterbacks in the future.

He does need to work on his ability to read the blitz a little better so he can anticipate the direction and find the openings in the pocket to escape. And I think as he gets more play and if he can improve on his accuracy when he is forced to throw under this kind of pressure on the move then he will show he deserves to be listed among them.

An exciting game and impressive showing by the St. Louis Rams winning over the Arizona Cardinals with the final score 17 to 3.

The Rams defense will be fun to watch in future games this season as they were much more effective causing pressure on the quarterback. I knew they were caplable, but they were more effective at it that I anticipated.

3 and out by the Rams and the Cardinals have another drive.

A nice drive by Kevin Kolb the quarterback for Arizona ends with a sack on a 4th and 1. With just under 2 minutes to play, I think I can safely say that the Rams are certainly taking away the undefeated title away from the Cardinals.

Like I mentioned in a post early this afternoon here, as I researched the Rams more today I found some very impressive play by them. At the time I didn’t think it was enough to win tonight but it does look like I was incorrect about that.
