Uh Oh. FGs aren't going to get it done against the 'cons.

accurate throw and that's a catch.

Note to Dak: ATL can't cover TE's. Utilize Witt early and often.

Even Escobar might get a catch or two.

I didn't want to post this same question for fear of ignorance.

Can you start blocking before the ball is thrown?

A WR/TE can block before the ball gets to the target receiver if they are within 5 yards of the line. This is the rule, but WR should know to be conservative and be certain that they are well within the 5 yards because I've seen it flagged several times when it appeared that they were at about 4 to 5 yards.

On the other hand, I've seen players get by with blocking past 5 yards before the reception. My guess is that some refs call it differently than others. It has to be really hard to see the block and the reception at the same time to know if the block was early.

Falcons fans assured me that their defense is actually good, it's that teams only get yards and points in "garbage time"

Love watching Wilson get squashed like a bug

[Aven8]

Sorrry but if we beat Green Bay tomorrow....we are going to the super bowl. We crush both of these teams.

[seamus18]

Not gonna be a whole lot of punts in this game.

 

[movaughn88]

I realize I'm reading a lot into two coughs on the sideline but is R. Wilson sick?

 

[Direwolf63]

Hit the ground.

I refuse to believe they don't factor the playoffs into the final mvp vote?

Freeman reminds me of myself at a buffet. Shifty, fast, quick to the line.

What dunbar should be...
