NFC Championship: Falcons vs. Packers (Discussion and Game Thread)

[pokey_reese]

Did you get shot up with painkillers though?

No, but I took several of them by mouth, if that counts.

 

[staz]

Moral victory

Stupid 20% chance of working fade pass on 2nd down ends the drive.

Stupid 20% chance of working fade pass on 2nd down ends the drive.

To be fair, it worked last week.

Currently flying over literal icebergs on my flight home from Iceland and somehow the Reddit stream is kind-of-sort-of working for me on my phone.

The world is a wonderful place.

Yes it is. I'm at airport waiting for my delayed flight in Orlando. Going to be in the air for the entire game. Really hoping there's power on this plane.

You couldn't play the final game at the historic Georgia Dome without Rog.

Packers have never in their history won a playoff game down 10 or more at the end of the first quarter.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was risky. Cook was open for 10.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol wrong way dude

 

[pokey_reese]

Man, GB has to hope that the early miss FG doesn't come back to bite them. Seems like both teams can move the ball, so no one can really afford to leave points on the field.

Packers have never in their history won a playoff game down 10 or more at the end of the first quarter.

The Falcons lost their last NFC Championship Game after leading 10-0 after 1.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Um safety?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Are you allowed to roll into the end zone like that?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Fuck

 

[Al Zarilla]

oh my

 

[Dollar]

That's a safety.

 

[bankshot1]

nut punch

 

[Investor 11]

Did the Atlanta guy recover it and then roll himself in to the end zone?

 

[McBride11]

Did he recover at the 1 and roll into the end zone??

 

[johnmd20]

Ouch. Colossal mistake.

 

[bigsid05]

Packers able to move the ball well but just keep shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[redsoxcentury]

Did he recover at the 1 and roll into the end zone??

Looked like it

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I'm sorry but you're a slow fullback what the hell are you doing carrying the ball with one arm in traffic?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Nah, momentum took him in.

 

[pokey_reese]

Oh shit! Falcons looking to put this one away early.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

I think that might be a "forward progress" situation - ball to come back to the 1.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Gotta review that

 

[edmunddantes]

isnt that a safety?

 

[Sportsbstn]

Since no one touched him since the end zone, why no safety? Are they saying he gave himself up?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That may be a sadety

 

[pokey_reese]

Great job by ATL #32. Surgical ball removal.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

He rolled in

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Nah, momentum took him in.

But he rolled backward into the EZ himself after gathering the ball at the 1

 

[Devizier]

Are running backs ever coached to go down? I figure four defenders on you would be a good time.

 

[BigSoxFan]

What a weak ass fumble.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Man I wish I hit the over in this game.

Or not.

 

[Stitch01]

Thought live that was a safety

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I'm expecting them to come out of the commercial and announce bad news to Atlanta fans.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

I think his body was on the line when he first got full control

 

[Gorton Fisherman]

I'm sorry but you're a slow fullback what the hell are you doing carrying the ball with one arm in traffic?

Think his other arm was getting held.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That may be a sadety

Do you have a cold?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I'm not sure what the rule is.

Fucking Fox in such a rush to get to commercial.

 

[Saints Rest]

In the replay, it looked to me like he didn't gain control until he was in the end zone
Should be a touch back

 

[Captaincoop]

I thought it was recovered at the 1.

 

[Ed Hillel]

But he rolled backward into the EZ himself after gathering the ball at the 1

It's close. Auto review, let's see what happens.

 

[Brand Name]

Rolled into the endzone intentionally, that's why I think that's a safety, right?

 

[bankshot1]

it looked like he had possession at the 1-2, and then tried to get up and run and went backwards.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Do you have a cold?

Ha! Typo

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Surprise! On the 20.
