GO!

 

[boilerdave]

I'm taking the the Vikings at -3.5.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Vikings 24...Falcons 20

Falcons are good just not good enough to beat teams like the Bucs or Vikings yet
I'd like to see JJ McCarthy do well from the beginning and not wait until the 4th Q down 2 scores

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Vikings 24
Falcons 21

I think McCarthy builds off the end of the game last week. Fun qb rematch from college too.

 

[travdogg]

I think Atlanta comes out strong, expecting a nice game from Bijan and I think Penix's mobility comes into play again this week. I also think Mooney being back makes a huge difference to the Falcons offense.

I think the Vikings look to establish the run and try to take advantage of Atlanta's smaller DL. If only the RB split wasn't so even. I'll bet on this being more of a Jones week.

I think the Falcons win.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Bijan runs for chunk plays B2B...I get it why not try him again but what an opp to hit play action and go up top instead of a 3rd straight run...4th straight run

 

[Ministry of Pain]

OMG the Falcons burn a timeout...OMG!
It's 3rd and 4 on your opening drive and you're in the red zone, what is there to think about?

These coaches that cannot get the play call in just kill me

 

[Ministry of Pain]

After you call timeout, False Start
Good Job Falcons

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

FG feels like a loss after the start to that drive.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

38, would have been good from 38.5.

I'm just glad they took the delay on 4th and didn't burn a 2nd TO.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

That sputtered quickly

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This kicker needs to calm down. Lot of game left.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

4th and 2, pretend to hard count and then take the delay of game to kick a FG, almost missed it

The Falcons coaching staff looks like they are not up to the task or moment against the better teams like the Bucs last week and tonight vs the Vikes
Squandered a golden chance to put it in the end zone
The ball never crossed the goal line thru Penix arm, why not take aN end zone target somewhere in there?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

It would be nice if NBC would also post the PFF rankings for the OL when their name is announced like they do for QB, RB, WR and TE...what is wrong with them?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Oof

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Those Olineman shoulda jumped early

 

[travdogg]

Wild that they went for that this early, and from their own 35

 

[Penguin]

That was sub optimal

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Looked like JJ bobbled the snap, good job rookie

Did you see the Falcons on that opening drive?
What would you fear if you're KOC?
He can out coach Raheem

 

[Cowboysfan8]

That was dumb

 

[Penguin]

Bijan cooking tonight

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Incomplete pass with no challenge flag, good job replay booth

 

[Penguin]

shame that was incomplete

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Kyle Pitts is a definite part of the Falcons game plan
Did well last week and would appear to be 2nd target in the pass plays

 

[Penguin]

That 4th down call on your own side of the field eerily feels like Andy Reid's decision earlier that gave Philly a free FG

 

[Penguin]

We'll see if he remains #2 when Mooney's fully healthy

Also, Bijan had 6/100/1 last week

 

[Penguin]

Not sure how that quote from last night ended up there

 

[Penguin]

Liked that 4th quarter comeback last week but these Vikings aren't much more than a possble wild card contender, heck last year's 15 win team ended up being a mirage

Eh, it’s a little early for conclusions. Imma give it time.

 

[AAABatteries]

5 quarters of football and 5 FG attempts already. Penix and the offensive coordinator have to figure out how to score TDs.

 

[travdogg]

Always been a fan of Allgeier. He should be starting somewhere next season.

 

[Penguin]

Oh Drake

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Solid defense

 

[BladeRunner]

Didn't London fumble LAST week too?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Always been a fan of Allgeier. He should be starting somewhere next season.

Man I hope so. Took him in a couple start-ups this preseason. He’d look sweet in a cowboys jersey.

 

[efactor]

Oh Drake

I really need a big game from Penix and that didn’t help

Selfishly, I hope for the Bears

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

JJM is unshakable.

If they get down a couple scores it’ll help.

 

[travdogg]

Really surprised how little TJ Hockenson is being used, especially given Addison's suspension.

 

[renesauz]

JJM is unshakable.

There's a lot to like about this kid....as Nailer nails him out of a bad throw from a clean pocket

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Fries is shakeable

 

[renesauz]

Mason seeing more action then I expected

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It was a little high. Addison doesn’t jump for that.

FBG’s TE3

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This ATL D is clearly better than it was last year.

 

[renesauz]

McCarthy with zero chance there

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

wow!
