The final preseason game, against all odds, was the most fun preseason game we’ve yet endured. The Falcons came out swinging, played pretty well with their reserves on both offense and defense, and won their first preseason game in many, many moons. It was the kind of game that got you in the right frame of mind for the regular season, even if few of the players are likely to be the same.
It was a terrific night for Danny Etling, by and large, and he’s probably headed for a practice squad spot. Qadree Ollison could not have done more to convince the Falcons to carry him and Brian Hill.
