SNF: Super Bowl rematch: ATL at NE

[Fla Cowpoke]

They called offensive PI on Gronk that wiped out a 47 yard completion, but keep telling yourself it's a pro-NE conspiracy.

Not sure why Cowboys fans would be rooting for Atlanta anyway, since we're 2 games out in our division and could be fighting for a wild card.

I hope NE wins. They just get a ton of calls. And don't get too excited about them finally calling the Pats for offensive pass interference. They have won multiple SB's because the League didn't call it against them. Just like they never called Seattle for pass interference when their guys mugged the receivers all down the field. And like they never call GB for holding despite the fact they do it on nearly every pass play.

we might be able to run on the falcons. patriots running pretty good against them and the patriots are just a good average running team. hopefully zeke will be able to play against the falcons. the only way we beat Atlanta in there dome the way the bills did is to keep ryan and jones off the field as much as possible.

If the Falcons don't turn their team around quick, they won't even make the playoffs this year.

Going for 4th and 6 at midfield with 2 minutes left in the half. Not sure that was the wisest decision.

 

[River82]

[sarcasm]Oh dear, too high by Ryan, too high. Everybody knows quality quarterbacks will always hit their WR's directly on their chest, what was Ryan thinking ...[/sarcasm]

Specially when you have Tom Brady on the other side, they are really asking for trouble

Steve Sarkisian was a terrible hire.

Steve Sarkisian was a terrible hire.

Boom. Very much so.

 

[tyke1doe]

I heard posters complaining that Dak throws the ball too low, but I've seen twice where Brady did the same thing - but his receivers caught the ball.

 

[Alexander]

Boom. Very much so.

Seriously though.

You are a team coming off a Super Bowl.

Your OC leaves.

Who on earth goes, let's bring in Steve Sarkisian?

Just goes to show you how much the good ol' boys/it depends on who you know concept applies in the NFL.

 

[Jake]

The Falcons were 5th in the NFL in rushing offense last season. This season, they're 17th.

They need to get back to that, although down 17 now it probably won't be tonight. Ryan isn't good enough to just sling it all night.

 

[Nova]

They say what's up with the broadcast?

Some camera angles are clear, but the main cam looks hazy.

Fog?

the dumb gun shots from the men dressed as patriots in the end zone.
its kind of absurd they allow it considering all the rules in the league

Well yes he is a drunk, or was, but he was the HC at both Wash and USC, and then OC for Saban. So he has a nice resume. But he's not ready for the NFL IMO. It was a reach.

Well, Matt played well enough to be one of the top QB's in the league by any standard. He was by far the #1 QB in YPA as well.

This year, he doesn't even make my top 10 starters. If he blows this game against one of the worst pass defenses in the league, his play is rightfully going to place him in the bottom half of starting QB's.

The high flying offense last year that ended in brutal disappointment and his OC leaving is definitely having a mental effect.

His resume is not that impressive even if you ignore the drunk thing.

He got involved with Saban and that was an important bullet point on his resume.

Playing QB in the CFL isn't impressive???

 

[theebs]

ok maybe i am wrong because it looks foggy again.

 

[Jake]

Starting to get Fog Bowl flashbacks. Older fans will remember that one, Eagles at Bears about 30 years ago.

It's not as bad tonight - you couldn't even see the players on TV. Not yet, anyway.

 

[Aven8]

Wow the fog is getting thick, it's awesome! Reminds me of that Chicago game years ago.
