| (MySportsbook) - Overblown praise. Undue criticism. Michael Vick has received his share of both ever since the Atlanta Falcons made him the No. 1 overall pick of the 2001 draft. Much of the reproach towards Vick started at the conclusion of last season, when the exciting but often erratic quarterback put together his second consecutive inconsistent campaign and received much of the blame for the Falcons' disappointing 8-8 record. His lack of progress as a passer and a few more early struggles this year even |

Those clippers may be busy at the moment because with each passing week they are cutting away the hopes of Cincinnati's season. Following a devastating 29-27 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons, veteran offensive lineman Willie Anderson didn't mince words about the up-and-down season to date. "We need to toughen up. We need to man up," said Anderson, echoing the phrase uttered in this very same report just several weeks ago. "We have tough |

| e defending AFC North champions are still in a funk with the middle of the season approaching, and the frustration is starting to bubble out. Johnson and Anderson - two veteran leaders in the locker room - called for change after a 29-27 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. ``We have no identity, what we are,'' said Anderson, a Pro Bowl right tackle in his 11th season. ``We changed what was working,'' said Johnson, who holds the club rushing record. ``If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

| (MySportsbook) - The Atlanta Falcons will make their first trip out of Georgia in over a month when they travel north to battle the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. Since losing in New Orleans on September 25, the Falcons have played three games -- all at the Georgia Dome. Atlanta is coming off a wild win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. The game was a battle between two of the best rushing offenses in the NFL, so the aerial assault that ensued was a bit surprising. In the end, the Falcons |

CINCINNATI (AP) -The Cincinnati Bengals activated wide receiver Chris Henry on Friday, making him available for Sunday's game with the Atlanta Falcons. Henry had been benched by the Bengals for one game and suspended by the NFL for two more for violating the league's personal conduct and substance abuse policies. He has been arrested four times since December. He played in the first three games and had 11 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals (4-2) are short of receivers. Tab Perry |
