2016/2017 NFL thread: The Final Battle

[terry78]

Looks like another Brady Super Bowl. Game hasn't been played yet, but as someone said, they don't play bad twice in a row.

 

[StarWars]

Touchdownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Reek]

wooooooooooo here we go boys

 

[StarWars]

also today is Chris Bermans last in-studio NFL broadcast

I have never been Bermans biggest fan, but he is an OG ESPN guy and I can thank him for his relevant contributions

Whats going on with him ?

 

[StarWars]

Reek, Monica - who you picking ?!?!??!?!

 

[Reek]

Monica???

Falcons all the way.

 

[StarWars]

ohhhhhhhhhh man....this game is exciting...... cant believe he missed that, he's usually on point.

 

[Reek]

.... back to this Monica nonsense...

 

[StarWars]

10-0, atl

 

[Kanon]

Can't see the Packers turning this one aroung, they barely stopped the Falcons on the last drive, and they rely on huge passes in early plays... Once they get close to the 30 yard, somehow they have huge troubles converting (I guess Rodgers+Nelson work best when there is a lot of field to cover)

 

[TheCommissioner]

Matty Ice with the TD

damn!!!

 

[StarWars]

Kanon -agreed....

I was wrong, GB is not going to win this one....GB has no answer to ATL offense.

 

[The Endless]

Rodgers is going to have to perform a miraculous comeback in the second half and ATL will have to collapse. I thought it'd be a shoot out but ATLs D has turned up.

Dominant performance.

 

[Kanon]

Kanon -agreed....

I was wrong, GB is not going to win this one....GB has no answer to ATL offense.

Yeap, but even so, unable to defend, they should be scoring to keep hope alive. The score could be 17-10 or 17-7 if not for the lack of tools and diversity in the offense. That fumble at the goal line

 

[Kanon]

Rodgers sacked for the 9th time in the playoffs, this time by the tip of the fingernails...

EDIT: And then a Hail Mary (the best resource of the Packers) gets intercepted.

Dat Matt Ryan TD...

[TheCommissioner]

what Rodgers just did, I like to call that an arm punt

 

[The Endless]

Rodgers!?! If Falcons score it's over.

 

[Mister J]

Jake Long over Matt Ryan.

 

[Kanon]

TD under review, finally confirmed (good call IMO)

24-0 halftime

 

[TheCommissioner]

Jake Long over Matt Ryan.

do you need a hug?

 

[Reek]

TD under review, finally confirmed (good call IMO)

24-0 halftime

Wasn't even close.. had a foot down when he caught it, then another step... then the third nearly out of bounds.

 

[Kanon]

Wasn't even close.. had a foot down when he caught it, then another step... then the third nearly out of bounds.

It's tricky 'cause, once he has possesion on the ball, puts one feet and then the other looks like is OOB. When the video is paused, looks like ha lands the tip of the feet on the line, but in motion is clear that he lands on the end zone and then slides OOB.

The NFL should get some super slow mo cameras t:

Second half: The Packers already blow they first drive...

EDIT: TD Falcons, how the hell they failed to tackle that receiver?

 

[TheCommissioner]

Julio Jones is an animal

Falcons running herd on the Pack right now

 

[The Endless]

Jones is like a Randy Moss/Marshawn Lynch hybrid. Beast.

 

[Spider-Gnome]

Jake Long over Matt Ryan.

I hear ya!

As I watch this game, I can't help but remember several years ago, both the Dolphins and Falcons were a mess. The Falcons were about to sign Bill Parcels to take over their operation, when the Dolphins swooped in the last second and stole him. And what does he do? Not having a QB since Marino retired, with the first pick overall, picks Jake Long. Falcons? Matt Ryan.

You're welcome, Atlanta.

Anyway, go Falcons!
