[Andy Hicks]

This thread will be pinned once we're under way.

If you see something happening, please describe the play instead of eg "WOW".

Please describe more of what you see, things that will help other fantasy owners eg Player X is seeing loads of targets, Player Y is running the ball with authority today etc

Remember, not all of us are watching your game.

Local blackout!!! Good thing for NFLRZC!

ETA: 2 blackout games down, 6 to go including MNF next week. Woohoo.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Each QB has started with a mistake.

Ryan fumbled with a collasped pocket, now Freeman gets picked by DeCoud

 

[Dr Phil's Posse]

What is weather in TB?

 

[el-gato-grande]

Let's run the big fella Blount today Tampa Bay.

What is weather in TB?

Been raining off and on all day. Heavier earlier.

 

[Bhdevault]

Wow... so many penalties. Get your act together Atlanta!

 

[Bhdevault]

It just looks SOOOO easy to drive it down the throat of the Falcons defense. Just stresses me out so much watching it. Rush 4, play a soft defense, let them pick you apart.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

13 completions for Freeman, probably 11 of them have been caught by the receiver inside of 5 yards of the line of scrimmiage, maybe even 3 yards. Going to suck when they hit the double move big play in the second half to burn an anxious corner.

 

[Ever Present Lurker]

Unable to watch the game, but I see Gonzalez hasn't recorded any stats - is he hurt? Or is Atlanta as a whole being shut down?

No chance for playoffs the way this line has protected in 2.5 games.

What happened to Turner? Quiz is getting a lot of carries so far.

What happened to Turner? Quiz is getting a lot of carries so far.

Nothing, Rodgers was doing spot action here and there then was in for the 2 minute offense series. Turner still has 7 of the 10 rushing attempts.

 

[Osaurus]

Nice to see the Bucs carry a lead into halftime for a change.

 

[el-gato-grande]

Nice to see the Bucs carry a lead into halftime for a change.

Agreed. Buckle up fellow Blount owners. This second half should be a lot of fun. Tampa clearly intent on running the ball.

 

[Bhdevault]

Ryan looked much better last year in my opinion. Something just isn't clicking with him this year.

Too worried about the line I think. Starting to get happy feet in each game after his line proves they can't block.

 

[scratcher]

Did the announcer call a random black guy Raheem Morris?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

The Falcons as a team just look absolutely awful out there. You could talk about things they're doing horribly for quite a while without coming up for air.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Announcers just love Matt Ryan

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Look at that, Ryan has time to throw to that deep threat guy they drafted. Too bad he didn't throw it far enough for a walk in score.

 

[el-gato-grande]

Wow, White taking over the game now.

1-10-ATL32 (7:46) M.Turner up the middle to ATL 30 for -2 yards (S.Jones, T.Crowder).

2-12-ATL30 (7:05) (No Huddle) M.Ryan pass short right to R.White to ATL 45 for 15 yards (E.Biggers).

1-10-ATL45 (6:36) (No Huddle) M.Ryan pass short right to R.White to TB 41 for 14 yards (E.Biggers).

1-10-TB41 (6:06) (Shotgun) M.Turner right guard to TB 38 for 3 yards (R.Miller).

2-7-TB38 (5:40) (No Huddle) M.Ryan pass incomplete deep right to R.White.

3-7-TB38 (5:33) (Shotgun) M.Ryan pass short left to R.White to TB 23 for 15 yards (E.Biggers).

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Hideous drop by White, just hideous

 

[The General]

Might want to guard Roddy White.

 

[Bhdevault]

Why is Atlanta in such a hurry to score here? Run the dang ball?

 

[Bhdevault]

So disappointed in that series. Roddy's great, but seeing him and Gonzo both drop catchable balls repeatedly really hurt.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Helmet to helmet...WTF?!

 

[Yenrub]

Freeman just took a shot to the head

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Billick has no idea what he's talking about. Total BS non call

 

[The General]

Love the announcer babbling about how that was a clean hit.

 

[StinkyCheeseman]

Is Weatherspoon hurt ? Can't see the game.

 

[Bhdevault]

Is Weatherspoon hurt ? Can't see the game.

Hurt? he has 11 tackles today? He's still in there.

 

[FF Ninja]

Wow. Sure looked like Blount got the first down. Not sure how they reviewed that and didn't overturn it.

 

[General Malaise]

lol

 

[General Malaise]

anybody read that DC's lips?

 

[Hybrid]

"Oh my F-ing God!"

 

[Bhdevault]

Wow.... just wow. How do you jump offsides there? Was it Edwards again? His neutral infraction last week was awful. Glad we signed him, he's done nothing but get us penalties this year.

 

[el-gato-grande]

Wow.

 

[griff321]

So what's the story with the ugly passing stats for TB?

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Really don't think either team was impressive enough to deserve a win here but with that brain fart the Falcons deserved to win even less.

 

[StinkyCheeseman]

Is Weatherspoon hurt ? Can't see the game.

Hurt? he has 11 tackles today? He's still in there.

Thanks ... had not seen any action from him in the box score in the 4th quarter ...

 

[Bhdevault]

Everyone in the entire stadium, country, world knows they are trying to draw you offsides and you jump. Sigh.. simply one of the worst ways to lose a game. Still amazed people were predicting the Falcons to get to the Super Bowl.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Wow.....ATL fan's must be pissed at their defense right about now.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

So what's the story with the ugly passing stats for TB?

Freeman had no accuracy, most completions happened with the receiver catching the ball within 3 yards of the LOS.
