Impressive first drive by Atlanta, topped off by a nifty little pass by Ryan for the TD.

Yeah, that was cool. However, that unnecessary roughness penalty against GB was bullshit. Not the penalty itself, but the way the rule is enforced on the ensuing kickoff. It really isn't a penalty at all. Kickoff from mid field? What does that do? Kickers are already putting the ball through the endzone from the 35 YL. Either way, the penalized team starts on the 25 YL. That rule needs to be changed to something that resembles an actual penalty.

KevShmev · « **Reply #3047 on:** January 22, 2017, 01:55:20 PM »

Agreed.

In the meantime, the Packers first two drives saw Crosby miss a FG and then the fullback fumbled in the Falcons red zone. Game over. Especially since GB's defense stinks and cannot stop the Falcons offense.

Dublagent66 · « **Reply #3048 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:08:08 PM »

Yeah, what I'm seeing is a clearly better ATL team.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3049 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:10:35 PM »

The Falcons look good.

Oh and can you believe another QB complained about being hit after throwing the football?! .............

KevShmev · « **Reply #3050 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:14:57 PM »

Except that he didn't look like a child throwing a tantrum...

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3051 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:20:21 PM »

Still got up right on a ref. Complained. It's not how you complain it's that you do.

They all do.

KevShmev · « **Reply #3052 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:21:30 PM »

No, it's how you look. Its like the old saying, it't not what you say, it's how you say it. The optics matter.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3053 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:22:51 PM »

Optics is foolish. They all complain to the refs to sway them. How they accomplish that does not matter.

I knew the packers had it tough today but they are being decimated and not even miracles can bring them back today.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3055 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:36:38 PM »

Damn. Atlanta is on the gas peddle right now.

DragonAttack · « **Reply #3056 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:54:15 PM »

The Falcon fumble recovery: why wasn't it marked at the half yard line? The point is rather mute at this point, but.....

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #3057 on:** January 22, 2017, 02:56:43 PM »

Amazing play by Julio Jones

31-0

Dublagent66 · « **Reply #3058 on:** January 22, 2017, 03:22:05 PM »

It's amazing how GB doesn't look anything like the team we've seen the past 2 months. Then, they get a delay of game trying an onside (onsides) kick. You hardly ever see that from any team.

BTW, Julio Jones is a madman! Damn!

wolfking · « **Reply #3059 on:** January 22, 2017, 03:23:53 PM »

Good lord Green Bay.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #3060 on:** January 22, 2017, 05:09:04 PM »

Easy pick as to who I'm rooting for at the Super Bowl. Congrats to the Atlanta Falcons for their 2nd conference championship and two dominate wins in doing so.

KevShmev · « **Reply #3061 on:** January 22, 2017, 05:11:46 PM »

Pittsburgh already getting too cute with their offensive play calling. They'll be down 17-0 by the time they figure it out, at this rate.

TAC · « **Reply #3062 on:** January 22, 2017, 05:13:46 PM »

I thought Atlanta would win, but they flat out destroyed Green Bay. Damn!

Yup, I'm rooting for them to win the SB

KevShmev · « **Reply #3064 on:** January 22, 2017, 05:21:21 PM »

Should be interesting to see how much Belichick can slow down that Falcons offense in the Super Bowl.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #3065 on:** January 22, 2017, 05:39:56 PM »

Love me a good flea flicker

Hogan is having a hell of a game.

Dream Team · « **Reply #3067 on:** January 22, 2017, 05:50:37 PM »

Right in his lap. Unbelievable.

Big goal line stand!

pogoowner · « **Reply #3069 on:** January 22, 2017, 06:05:58 PM »

NFL coaches are so bad at goal line playcalling sometimes.

KevShmev · « **Reply #3070 on:** January 22, 2017, 06:06:52 PM »

I think Pittsburgh there was too worried about making NE burn their timeouts, hence the vanilla runs on 1st and 2nd downs.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3071 on:** January 22, 2017, 06:07:54 PM »

It's weird these days. Most teams, when the D knows your running can't get a yard.

El Barto · « **Reply #3072 on:** January 22, 2017, 06:38:08 PM »

I'm not sure how we got to the point where Dion Lewis is the between the tackles runner and Blount runs outside. I get that they like White as the 3rd down back catching balls out of the backfield, but DL is a monster when he gets the ball in space. Just seems an odd way to use that particular trio of backs.

TAC · « **Reply #3073 on:** January 22, 2017, 06:49:12 PM »

Brady got away with that fumble.

Blount, holy shit!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3074 on:** January 22, 2017, 06:57:19 PM »

Hell yeah!!

Dream Team · « **Reply #3075 on:** January 22, 2017, 07:04:18 PM »

When they beat NE in 2011 they played tight man-to-man. Why stay in zone when it doesn't work? Come on Tomlin.

Dream Team · « **Reply #3076 on:** January 22, 2017, 07:10:37 PM »

Wow, so #83 has screwed up TWO TD catches today. Thanks

Prog Snob · « **Reply #3077 on:** January 22, 2017, 07:20:44 PM »

Disappointing, but not surprising.

TAC · « **Reply #3078 on:** January 22, 2017, 07:43:38 PM »

Surprising, but not disappointing.
