There's no way I thought they'd pull this one out, but I couldn't turn away.  Super fun win today - SKOL!

This was a feel good game after losing Cousins. Then Hall goes out, Darrisaw was out, the OL drops off without Darrisaw. Watching Dobbs run was awesome. It was rough and ugly but it was gritty. Hockenson played well. Hunter had a great game. It was totally unexpected but in a good way, I'll take it

Well ,  ugly win is still a win,  beating a good team feels good,  beating a team that will likely be on the beach in January is just something you have to do,  even if you have to do it ugly,  sure they did it less than full strength,   but its the middle of the season,  most all teams are missing key players.

Our OL reverted to shit,  and that on top of the lost players makes any win good,  but still ugly as hell.

It's so good to win ugly against the team that won ugly against us in the 1998 NFCC. Tell me how they won that game and I'll tell you how we won this game.

That was so much fun! Even after we scored late I didn't want to exhale because giving up a FG and going to OT was just something that would happen to us haha. But it didn't! Defense really stepped up (against an admittedly bad offense but still) and so did DOBBS! Great game team! Even Mattison was mostly solid, which was very much needed in a game like that.
Good work to KO and the fellas. The past month or so has been a lot of fun, in and around some devastating injuries.

That 11 straight run series by Atlanta really gassed the defense. Thankfully. It was near the of the game.

One at a time.  Just win baby.  But this is probably the most implausible story of the weekend in the NFL.

Cunningham Overthrowing Moss (badly) for a sure TD in OT
Robert Smith running out of bounds and stopping the clock
The dropped interception in the end zone by Robert Griffith

 Burned into memory unfortunately
