Wildcard Game Thread - Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Pasquino]

Cards defense came to play.....

but a bad momentum swing there with a timeout. AZ had the mo there.

 

[jojoh07]

fitz makes me more than any receiver I can think of...

Steve Smith Calvin Johnson is the only other with similar abilities - just Fitz is also bigger.Both are, and will be, elite for years.

Fixed.

But its all those 3 for me . Smith , megatron , fitz are clearly the top 3 IMO.

Anyone else of sick of the matt ryan ball washing going on?

He is kind of impressive. And he had a LOT of detractors. There are a lot of people that were wrong about him.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Did NFL.com not pay someone to do play by play gamebooks?

 

[Ghost Rider]

I find it odd that he (Edge) would come out this week and say he was done in AZ and that he didn't come to the dessert to block... when he must've known he was going to get some important carries in a playoff game.

Considering what a selfish ******* James is, this is probably a smart move by the Cardinals. He is gonna run his butt off, to try and get attention for another team to take a chance on him in the offseason, and the Cardinals will benefit obviously if he runs the ball well in the playoffs.

I just think the falcons are good because of turner and their line, not really because of Ryan as much. Flacco to me has been just as impressive

Wide open WR running through middle.

Ryan looks like deer in headlights.

Looks like they just now turned it on. Redirect still isn't going to the Gamecenter tab, though. It probably will very soon.

Someone was asleep at the wheel.

Ryan's been playing like this for the last three weeks now... well not quite this bad, but not with the feel and calmness he displayed for the first three months of the season. Turner really put the team on his back down the stretch, and it looks like there's no way that can happen today.What's funny is that lots of people are probably seeing Ryan for the first time today and will wonder why he got any praise at all.Now, Ryan did pull the "lay an egg for most of the game and make the plays in the end" during his senior season, but for that to happen, the Atlanta D will have to keep it close. I don't see that happening with Edge running well...

 

[Die]

Have to wonder if the Cardinals just lost focus towards the end of the year after they clinched the division so early. They could be better than what people think.

 

[scratcher]

Sorry if addressed elsewhere, but what happened to the blackout issues for this game? did they get the tix sold?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Atlanta needs to go to the no huddle... Mularkey's script is NOT working.

Put me down for i dont know why he got off rook of the year. Playing Det Kc Oak and StL could make me look like OROTY

 

[CrossEyed]

This looks lopsided early.

 

[whitem0nkey]

the falcons needs to make some adjustments or this game could get out of hand.

 

[CrossEyed]

The Diet Pepsi bridge show?

Or, as I like to say, what a bunch of mularkey!Horrible matchup for the Falcons (Cards at home).

Kinda kicking myself for not putting the ARi Defense on my playoff fantasy squad.

 

[massraider]

That wasn't a penalty?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Did that play-by-play guy really just say that Indiana and San Diego are playing tonight?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Atlanta needs a drive, preferably establishing the run.

Turner, Norwood - whomever. Burn some clock, get some field position, and let Ryan calm down.

 

[delusional]

lmao saying White had bust label but it might have been a little bit do with Vick being his QB. Id say ALOT to do with it

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Solid tackling corners are vastly underrated.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Solid tackling corners are vastly underrated.

Turner scores if not for that.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

The Diet Pepsi bridge show?

Can it be worse than "G"?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Atlanta is getting a nice rhythm going.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Again - hurrying the timeout there is a mistake. Wait as long as you can and then challenge if you think you will (and you should).

 

[Ghost Rider]

Collinsworth just said Jenkins could have turned that back upfield and scored? Um, did he miss the two Arizona defenders that would have been in his way? I swear, some of these announcers do not think before they speak.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Uh, that was a first down. It's where the ball is, not the body. Everyone knows the rule is the ball, but seems like the refs only ever look at it that way when it comes to breaking the goaline.

 

[Andy Herron]

lmao saying White had bust label but it might have been a little bit do with Vick being his QB. Id say ALOT to do with it

Absolutely.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

That wasn't the Grand Canyon, was it?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Woooooooo Boldin.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Just when I was thinking that Boldin wasn't looking quite right...

 

[Andy Herron]

There goes a hamstring.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Awesome downfield blocking there.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Boldin grabbed his left leg after the score.

Hammy?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wow Collinsworth just jinxed the hell outta Atlanta for that TD.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Boldin grabbed his left leg after the score. Hammy?

I thought I saw him do that.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

OOF.

 

[identikit]

Oy..

drop by White

 

[jaisonline]

wow roddy. u'r looking like phila eagles receivers dropping that easy catch.

 

[D-BO]

Nice drop

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Michael Jenkins showing up just when the Falcons need him.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

HUGE conversion for ATL.

Now in FG range.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Ryan looks damn good to me.

 

[Saints-Man]

Solid tackling corners are vastly underrated.

Turner scores if not for that.

I agree.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Hey look, the Lions!

Wait, that was a Ryan highlight.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

wow roddy. u'r looking like phila eagles receivers dropping that easy catch.

He looked like the old Roddy White that everyone thought was a bust.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Turner TD.
