| This was a comparatively weak matchup. The 2012 Falcons have a superb passing attack, and don't make a lot of mistakes, but apart from that they are quite ordinary. The 2003 Rams are an extremely weak 12-4 team, with Marc Bulger leading a pretty good but strictly a dink n' dunk pass attack, and Marshall Faulk a shadow of himself from 99-01. The defense is kind of a mess, especiallt at Left Corner, and the kick coverage is godawful. That left corner, Jeremetrius Butler, got roasted alive by Roddy White for three long TD passes, and the Mike Martz model pass blocking allowed Bulger to get tossed around like a rag doll, to the tune of seven sacks. It would have taken more luck than the Rams got to pull this off, and it just wasn't happening. The Falcons move on, and this pale flaccid imitation of "The Greatest Show on Turf" that is the 203 Rams exits |
