ATLANTA FALCONS ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK GIFTS

The Atlanta Falcons continue to impress and just might win that precious first playoff game, especially if their fans can have an impact.  Wednesday night some of the Atlanta faithfu, no doubt led by an Atlanta Armchair Quarterback, launched a good natured attack against the Saints team bus by throwing eggs at it at the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta.  Tonight the team takes on the rival New Orleans Saints, armed with the knowledge that their fans are willing to take it to the next level.  

Only time will tell whether the "Eggmen", which are apparently Atlanta's answer to the "12th Man" will be a factor.  However, if you're an Atlanta Armchair Quarterback or have one on your Christmas list, you might want to check out these Atlanta Falcons inspired offerings.

PLAXICO BURRESS AND THE TABLE IS ALMOST SET

On Tuesday, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced the signing of WR Plaxico Burress and indicated that he will be suiting up against the Cleveland Browns Sunday.  He will also be wearing his old number 80, after practice squad TE Jamie McCoy agreed to give it up.  Publicly the move was made to offset the rash of injuries at the position, but there are some cynics out there that claim that it was done to placate Big Ben.  A little incentive (or concession to a set of preposterous conditions) for his speedy return.  Whatever the case, the addition of Plaxico will certainly help in the red zone.  

Make no mistake, all of Big Ben's dreams and wishes for a "tall wide receiver" have come true, but who will be tossing the $925,000 man those fades in the end zone?  It will initially be Charlie Batch for the first week, but then what?  Fear not.  Yesterday Tomlin also announced that Roethlisberger has been miraculously upgraded to "doubful" for Sunday.  Technically this means Big Ben has a 25% chance to play, and is quite the contrast from earlier projections that had him missing 6-8 weeks or more.  Another illustration that yes, there is a football God.

 Time will tell how soon the obvious and seemingly insurmountable problems at the quarterback position will work themselves out, but safe to say that the table is set.

Thankful Pittsburgh Armchair Quarterbacks should start prepping for a playoff feast now, rather than later.
