Atlanta Falcons get scheduled
April 12, 2007 at 4:32 pm by Jake Gantz in News, SportsThe Falcons’ 2007 schedule just came out and … that’s that. It’s no big deal, let’s not overanalyze — but it’s worth taking a look, right?
On first glance, what jumps off the page are the two Monday Night Football games the Falcons will play this year. The first is versus the New York Football Giants Oct. 15 and the second is versus the New Orleans Saints Dec 10. Not the two easiest games on their schedule, but both Monday-nighters are in the ATL and winnable games in front of the millions who’ll be watching.
Vick will also get the chance to take the field in a Thanksgiving night game on Thursday, Nov. 22, at the defending-champion Indianapolis Colts. He’ll for sure need his turkey legs to outrun the hungry Colts, who, despite losing some key players, will be back in the title hunt. Hopefully the wishbone breaks toward Atlanta on this night.
There aren’t any other real games to note — and nothing much more to say. The ‘07 campaign begins on Sunday, Sept. 9, when the Falcons go to Minnesota to kick off the season. It should be an exciting year, and it’s never too early to start talking about football!

Jake - How long do you think Michael Vick has before people realize this guy is heading into his 7th season and potential can only take him so far?
