Good luck if you have something riding on this game

atlanta passing like crazy. TD Gonzalez

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Falcons start with the no huddle and mostly passing. Ends with a Gonzo TD as Ryan bought some time waiting for someone to get open from 6 yards out. Ryan not sharp early though, missed Gonzo a few plays earlier for a TD.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Car fumbled the kickoff, about 10 guys missed it before a Panther jumps on it. Think 4-5 Falcons had a shot at it.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Turner fumble inside the red zone. Atlanta mostly passing still and he fumbles one of his few early chances.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

WEEMS! Short 55 punt return TD.

Clausen looks horrible so far.

 

[Gopher State]

wow, Birds really giving it to the cats

so much for saints fans having any hope of winning the division. Be fun watching the saints having to play their games on the road with no dome.

I saw that you made the last post and I knew it was something negative about the Saints. You have issues.

 

[Gadabout]

At least try, Panthers.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

4th and 3 inside the ten and Atlanta fails on a try to White, bad pass by Ryan it looked like. Defense is playing lights out but surprised he didn't take the 3 score advantage there.

 

[Yenrub]

Really Atlanta?

You had to go for it on 4th down? 17-0 not good enough?

 

[gigantor]

Panthers making them pay for it now

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Carolina was making Atlanta pay unil a Goodson fumble. Was a good looking Car drive and that would have been a first down too.

 

[gigantor]

Falcons fail again. ugly

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Wow, 4th and a half yard and Falcons fail. Tried a Ryan sneak. Liked them going for it but would have liked to see Turner get the ball.

We're the worst QB sneak team in the league.

 

[GoBirds]

Why not let Bryant kick some FG's?

We're the worst QB sneak team in the league.

Plus if Turner gets stopped initially, his legs are so strong he can fight for the extra yard and maybe push the pile. Ryan is not going to give you that if stuffed.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Goodson made an idiot play of catching a batted ball about 10 yards back

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Defense cpmes big on a Car 4th and 2 but Clausen needs to get rid if that sooner. Big sack and Atlanta should get points if their offense can move it at all

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Ryan to White back shoulder TD. Caught at the 2-3 and hit while reaching over.

 

[southeastjerome]

Any mention of the Falcons resting their guys for the 2nd half?

Not that I have heard of and wouldn't expect it until real late. Still need to secure the win and with a bye week coming up with a win, I'd guess they want to make sure things are hitting on all cylinders. Seal this game up and the next time you play will be a very tough team in two weeks. Better be as sharp as possible. Unless a guy is banged up a bit, I'm assuming they want to work on a couple things. Just oponion though, haven't heard anything for sure on the issue.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

64 yard end around for LaFell. Atlanta would have been beaten deep on the previous play if not for a hold on the CB.

 

[gigantor]

Falcons really don't look that great today. They should be thankful they're playing Carolina

 

[QuizGuy66]

LaFell in at QB?!? Is that right?!?!

When's the last time someone led their team in passing yards, receiving yards, and rushing yards in the same game? If LaFell really stays in at QB he can do that.

Was not in at QB, was given the ball for an end around that was fumbled and he tried to toss away.ETA: Maybe option pass but didn't see what WRs were doing.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Panthers onside kick and had a great chance on it but that is why they are 2-13.

 

[gigantor]

Ryan sacked and fumbles but yet again ATL comes up with it

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Force fumble on Ryan, Panther had a perfect shot at it, Falcons recover.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Sportsline is acting like LaFell is the QB Still



-QG

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Easy Turner TD after being stuffed on 1st. Aided by a weak PI call on Car. Game is kind of chippy lately.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Redman in, looks like Atlanta feels safe

ETA: White breaks own team record for yards and comes out. Gonzo on sidelines as well. Snelling carrying.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Hmmm...maybe LaFell shoulda been Carolina's QB this year

NFC South Champs

#1 Seed

Plenty to work on in the next couple weeks though. Someone tough will be coming to town, better not have any rust or hangovers going into that game.
