ATL Falcons First Down Stats

[Bluestang]

Of the Falcons' 26 first downs Thursday night, 11 came by penalty.

Kamara gets the “independent” concussion monitor call for extended tests and is ruled out the rest of the game.

Arthur Blank spearheads Roger Goodell’s contract extension and gets its done before Jerry’s special owners meeting.

You can’t make this stuff up man...Falcons are obviously gonna take the NFC South...book it. The NFL is such trash.

Finkel...Einhorn...Einhorn...Finkle.

At least Sean Payton has the cajones to call out the officiating - take notes you red head *****:

"I thought the officiating was extremely poor -- inconsistent would be a great way to put it," Payton said Friday. "I thought that had a lot to do with the way this game ended. ... If two teams are out there fighting hard, but the calls, as I went through every one of 'em and the ones that weren't called, too many inconsistencies.

"I think it's been a problem all year. And it's something that's gonna have to be addressed from a leadership standpoint at the top in our league office."

Blank has the officials in his pocket now.

The most corrupt and dishonest pro football game I have ever suffered through. The NFL wants to control the outcome of games to its own benefit. It has become more prevalent in recent years. The owners are underestimating the intelligence of the fan base. This is the beginning of the end for the NFL.

 

[Zordon]

It was a very frustrating game to watch. The way the refs, league offices, owners, commissioner's contract are all intertwined, you'd have to be naive to think there is no corruption.

 

[Bluestang]

"Nothing we do. We just call in, and it's wasted energy," Payton said. "And it's something that's come up with other teams earlier in the year, even some of the replay. It's just a confidence level that has to be improved."

 

[StylisticS]

That roughing the passer penalty was the worst roughing call I've ever seen and it extended the drive and ended with a Falcon touchdown. It was a joke.

This. Normally, when I make a comment about rigged NFL games, it’s tongue-in-cheek. Last night, I felt dirty just watching that game.

On the upside, if the Falcons take the NFC South at 10–6, it actually bodes well for the Cowboys.

Guys on the radio kept saying the Falcons should have been flagged for multiple penalties...but no call. Strange...And Kamara wasn't the only one. Micheal Thomas got poked in the eye on the Saints last series....no call. Had to go out of the game. So Brees basically was trying to win that game on his own in the end. No Ingram...Kamara or Thomas. Your right though...the league is a sham.

Doesn’t matter if we somehow pull off the unthinkable and win out. We are in a rigged system and Jerry didn’t do anyone any favors with his public fight about the Goodell extension.

It’s pretty obvious that the 6 owners in the compensation committee will reap the benefits for years to come.

The Falcons did the same to us, their DBs were tackling our guys and no calls. Bear in mind, this was at the peak of the Jerry vs Comp Committee public spat.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

Arthur Blank is the “right kind of owner” that would never speak out unless he knew he had a consensus in the room, dude is a total lapdog......

The poke in the eye was clearing not intentional
The roughing the passer call was one I didn’t get
Also penalizing the coach got coming on the field to call TO which happens all the time when they can’t get refs attention and the play was dead already

 

[Pabst]

It's been pretty obvious for weeks. Hell, it's been obvious for years.

Oh,man!,,,this is GOOD STUFF you've posted up,@Bluestang and it's long overdue to even be getting public attention finally being called out by credible individuals who've got the skin in this game
