Week 5 Game Thread

[shawnrbu]

Very nice drive by the Falcons. Too many weapons for Denver to cover.

 

[Cellar-Door]

The Broncos LBs and safeties can't handle Freeman in space.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

AFC East is WIIIIIIIDE open

 

[Ed Hillel]

All that cheating is really paying off for the Fal-CONS

 

[shawnrbu]

So this is what Dion Lewis would have been doing in the two Denver games last season.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I hate that call. He pushed off a guy who was holding him.

Come on Ed. Foul-CONS.

 

[DanoooME]

Fucking hate rooting for Rex Ryan

 

[DanoooME]

ATL with early 10-0 lead. Final 38-10 Denver?

 

[brandonchristensen]

ATL with early 10-0 lead. Final 38-10 Denver?

Legit laughed at this.

Very likely.

 

[Marciano490]

Legit laughed at this.

Very likely.

I'll double up on my Falcons bet with any frisky posters here.

 

[m0ckduck]

"The Atlanta Falcons could not be more impressed with the way they've kinda said, 'Hey, we're here to play'."

 

[BigSoxFan]

So Bills might be legit

 

[bigq]

Fucking hate rooting for Rex Ryan

Rooting for Fisher is no picnic either.

 

[DanoooME]

Rooting for Fisher is no picnic either.

Who would Pats fans rather root for? Pete Carroll or Jeff Fisher?

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Who would Pats fans rather root for? Pete Carroll or Jeff Fisher?

Pete Carroll all the way. Jeff Fisher is pond scum with a mustache.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Pete Carroll. Why would we dislike good ol'
Pete?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Denver run D getting absolutely gashed.

 

[luckiestman]

This Falcons oline

 

[Ed Hillel]

Smart challenge/timeout there by the Falcons.

 

[shawnrbu]

Riverboat Ron would have called timeout, then challenged the spot.

 

[rodderick]

A terrible spot in Denver? What a surprise.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

It's unbelievable how often this Denver team benefits from bad calls in big situations. Just a terrible terrible spot from the one side judge.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Cincinnati's defense is awful.

 

[DanoooME]

I'm stunned that Fisher hasn't tried a special teams fake against Rex yet

 

[DeadlySplitter]

when will Marvin Lewis go for the sake of change?

 

[tims4wins]

when will Marvin Lewis go for the sake of change?

Feels like this is the year if they don't make the playoffs. And even if they do it will be as a wild card and they will lose on the road in the first road so likely in that scenario as well.

 

[Dollar]

There's really no downside to having Dalton go out there and try to draw the defense offsides on 4th and inches. Just take the five yard penalty, or call a timeout if needed. Just take the chance on getting an easy first down.

 

[shawnrbu]

Denver so lucky to recover that fumble.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Game is too fast for Paxton Lynch right now.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Would love a short punt, fair catch, free kick here.

 

[DanoooME]

Denver and Cincinnati making Atlanta and Dallas look like world beaters

 

[Marciano490]

Denver so lucky to recover that fumble.

Oh hey it's every game ever.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

Dying to know what the bullshit will be that lets Denver win this game

 

[Cellar-Door]

Didn't try it on 4th and 1 at DAL 41 either. Just lined up for the 21 yard net punt.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Denver and Cincinnati making Atlanta and Dallas look like world beaters

This year may finally bring the end of the Marvin Lewis era in Cincy.

 

[DanoooME]

Rivers is such a dick. He's right but he's such a dick about it he needs to be punched in the face

 

[Al Zarilla]

I think the Raiders started hiring BUILT cheerleaders when they were in LA, and, fortunately they continued that practice when they moved back to Oakland.

 

[Cellar-Door]

For the 10th consecutive year a Marvin Lewis team has no plan on offense

 

[E5 Yaz]

Fisher ties Rex 13-all

 

[BigSoxFan]

Nice throw, Philip

 

[DanoooME]

Somebody should yell at Rivers for that horrible attempt at a Flacco special

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Who knew the Falcons defense was this much better than a Paxton Lynch-led Broncos offense?

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Shanahan getting too cute with the Atlanta offense, though. Just keep pounding it on the ground up the middle.

 

[brandonchristensen]

What a punt by the falcons

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Broncos take over on their own half-yard line after a lucky punt bounce and roll down to the 1, followed by a half-the-distance penalty against Denver.

 

[shawnrbu]

What a punt by the Falcons.

 

[DanoooME]

Denver pinned inside the 1 after punt and penalty

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Denver with the holding penalty that will back them up 18 inches

 

[Ed Hillel]

Really tough spot for Lynch.
