We are here in the Georgia Dome for Thursday night football–Jacksonville Jaguars at the Atlanta Falcons. I was just out on the field pregame, watching a group of very young-looking guys throwing the ball around. I thought to myself; when did I get so old? It was Blaine Gabbert and a few others young enough to be my grandchildren. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I’m used to seeing Cam Newton, Josh Freeman, and other QB’s of the giant-sized ilk. Gabbert, with his long hair and lanky physique, looks like a college player. He has a good arm, but doesn’t have much experience around him–the proverbial blind leading the blind. He also has a new coach.

This should be a fairly easy game for the Falcons, especially at home.
