It seems as if the departures of Michael Vick, Bobby Petrino and DeAngelo Hall actually took all of the bad luck away from the Falcons. The new coaching staff, the draft, the new quarterback, the winning season.. yep, seems the Falcons' demons were cast out in one fell swoop. So it should come as no surprise that although six NFL players were suspended yesterday for taking a banned substance (its a water pill, but still), the Falcons' Grady Jackson was not (yet). While league officials continue to look into his case, and Grady continues to appeal the automatic four-game suspension, he will remain on the field. But should the league overrule the appeal and suspend Grady after this week's game in New Orleans, the four games would bleed over into either the postseason (should we make it) or into next season.On the flip side, three New Orleans Saints starters (Charles Grant, Will Smith, and Deuce McCallister) and two Minnesota Vikings players (stud d-linemen Kevin and Pat Williams) will miss the remaining four games of the regular season (as will Plaxico Burress, but thats for something else..). And as Falcons fans know, the Saints and Vikings are coming up on the schedule. So long bad luck, hello playoffs?
