Game Thread W4 - Atlanta V Seattle (1 Viewer)

[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.

That first Falcon drive looked like 2010, run, run, run some more with some play action and short passes. Ryan to Gonzo finishes it on a 2nd and goal from the 1.

 

[mad sweeney]

I always wondered why more centers didn't snap the ball when guys jumped. Guess that's why. The refs only flagged the O for illegal shift, even though the D was still in the neutral zone. Thought it should've been offsetting, but I guess that shows the risk/reward of snapping it before the QB calls for it.

 

[mad sweeney]

I wouldn't be surprised if this is Clipboard Jesus's first appearance, especially if there's another 3 and out or turnover by TJ.

DL not looking as strong as usual. Bigby is capable but doesn't seem to have the knack for being around the ball that Kam has.

"But he looked slow on the TD"

 

[Bhdevault]

I should feel pretty good about finally having an easier game, BUT, this still is Atlanta's defense on the field. Rice was wide open, grimes is overrated in my mind.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Turner with a 4th, 5th, 6th effort for another TD.

TD Burner"But he looked slow on the TD"

If you take away his two touchdowns and his long runs, he's not really having a good game. LOLOL

 

[el-gato-grande]

Freaking Roddy White caught long passes that got stopped at the 1 and 2 respectively. Turner came in to mop up and score the TD's. Fellow White owners, it's official... we're screwed this season.

Any news on why Lynch only has 4 carries?

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

pretty sure it's because he and his whole team suck. And I own Lynch...

Look at the number of plays run. Can't be too bad of a ratio. Even though I'm technically ok with losing this year to keep one of the big 3 QBs in sight for the draft, it's still not easy to watch, nor can I stop myself from rooting for them.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Wow, deep ball to start the half to Julio. Defender is right on him but never turns and Julio concentrates to catch the ball that goes under the arm of the defender.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Not too many in this thread, looks like Julio Jones is having a huge day and Turner is cashing in when they get stopped at the 2 yd line.

Well, one of his TDs was a 21 yard run so he only cashed in once on the short TDs so far, the other short TD went to Gonzo.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Like always, this defense can make mediocre QBs look good. D-line isn't getting a lick of pressure.

Good info, ty

Atlanta must be the worst defensive screen coverage team in the league

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

No Tavaris, when the other team catches your pass in the end zone...it is NOT a touchdown.

Gotta be humiliating to the Atlanta to see someone like Marshawn Lynch rumble for a score against them.

Sorry, my bad. One did go to Gonzo.

Not worse than seeing Jackson with 242 yards at this point and his 2 INTs were both tips. At least Lynch has big play ability likie he showed in the playoffs last year, letting Jackson pass all over you is worse imo.

Rumble? No one touched him!

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

What a one handed, left handed, grab by Gonzo.

Anytime Lynch goes over 3 yards, it's rumble to me.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Any insight on Jones/White? Is White getting the tougher coverage or is Julio just outplaying him?

Julio is certainly outplaying his DB and they are fine picking on the guy. Does seem to be that White has more attention also.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

These #####es on audio screaming are ####### annoying.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

WTF, 3rd down screen to Michael Palmer?

 

[mad sweeney]

How is that not head to head with defenseless receiver?

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

Does Lynch look as pathetic as his stats indicate?

 

[jonboltz]

You cannot stop Tarvaris, you can only hope to contain him.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

They missed one ealier on Julio also but not as noticable since Julio didn't crumple to the ground. Wonder if this crew does not call as many as the average crew or just missing them.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

The Falcons cannot stop Tarvaris, they can only hope to contain him.

Fixed since even Arizona didn't let him do this.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

That's a ####### catch.

Challenge that bull####.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Roddy with two big drops on this drive. No idea why Smith is challenging.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Would think Seattle would jump on a fake slant and get beat on a double move here.

 

[mad sweeney]

That's a ####### catch. Challenge that bull####.

It's not a catch, but only because of the stupidest rule in the game.eta: In this case it worked out for me, but I am sick of seeing excellent plays go to waste because of this stupid ####### rule.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

What sign does the Atlanta defense have for the coach looking like he is juggling man boobs?

 

[mad sweeney]

How do you waste 5 seconds there?!

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Why call the 'freeze' time out here? If I were him, I'd like the extra minute to gear up for a long kick.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Have a good season Seattle.

Good receivers and tight ends with a garbage QB & RB. Hopefully the draft brings an upgrade in talent there.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Take it, I'll try and convince myself that any road win is good, but reality is that this is not any more encouraging they can make some sort of run this year.

That's the only thing that makes this loss tolerable. As much as I can't help but live and die with them winning, it's really better for them to not. But them fighting to the end and nearly beating a good team is exactly what this very young team needs so they can be ready for a QB to step into a savvy situation. So really, today is best of both worlds. Biggest sign of youth? I think there are more false starts on Seattle at home than all of last season combined. They need to learn to let the 12th Man work with them, not against.Good game, great experience for the youngsters. White, Jones, Turner, Ryan and Gonzo comes down to a last second FG? I'll take it.
