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

[PC Drunken Friar]

Rodgers throws are all low. Cook had a TD there if it were a better throw

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Don't sleep on this Atlanta defense actually getting better as the season has gone along. They might be half-decent in two weeks' time.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Might wanna go faster.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tom Dimitroff.

Right, Tom.

 

[McBride11]

Greg Olsen, of The Seventh Floor Crew, is now a humanitarian award nominee??

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Do they onside kick the rest of the game?

 

[Hoodie Sleeves]

That's too bad - I really wanted to see McCarthy call for a field goal down 30+ points in the second half.

 

[ilol@u]

Why wouldn't you go for 2? 4 TDs + 2pt conversions = 32 points

 

[staz]

Time for Green Bay to turn it on and win the 'too-little, too-late' award?

Yeah, the last thing I'd want to face is a team that came back from 0-31 on the road.

Should we be fortunate enough to get that far, of course.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

I was told there would be no math.

 

[Leather]

The odds of making all of those 2pts is very low.

 

[GregHarris]

Go ahead and do something stupid like onsides.

 

[Sportsbstn]

delay of game? What the hell

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Not enough commercials to get ready for the KO

 

[staz]

TD-stop-TD-stop-TD-stop-TD-Super Bowl

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL

 

[Hoodie Sleeves]

It's 5 scores if you kick all the extra points.

Going for 2 can make it 4 scores. And its still only 5 scores if you miss the first 4 conversions.

There's not a whole lot of downside to it.

 

[GregHarris]

In hindsight, my irrational fear of Rodgers looks pretty foolish right now.

 

[H78]

Anyone else worried that SHOULD we be lucky enough to get past Pittsburgh, Atlanta is the exact kind of team that would benefit from a "memo from the commissioner" warning teams about illegal contact just before the SB, leading to a ton of ticky-tack PI calls to keep Brady off the podium?

How much would the league love to see Matty Ice be the face of the league over Brady?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Have Rodgers and Brady only faced off the one time a couple years back?

 

[Jnai]

Keep running please

 

[pokey_reese]

Hard not to start rooting for ATL injuries at this point. Since we don't get Gronk, I wouldn't mind if they didn't have Jones...

1. Atlanta's offense doesn't need help.
2. Matt Ryan isn't even a good looking guy.

 

[staz]

I like it when Ryan scrambles, up 24

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

I'd hate to see what Julio Jones was like if he wasn't injured.

 

[Sportsbstn]

holy shit what a catch

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

I heard "and Ryan is injured" and almost had a palpitation there.

 

[H78]

Have Rodgers and Brady only faced off the one time a couple years back?

Yup. Rogers was out the game four years prior when Matt Flynn almost pulled one out in Foxboro.

 

[DJnVa]

This game has been positively pornographic as a Falcons fan.

Maybe they blow their wad this game.

Maybe.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Atlanta might put up 50.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Alright, we get it. Start the next game.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Packers have quit.

 

[Jnai]

McCarthy has the over

 

[DJnVa]

TD here and Julio is done for day, and Ryan can't play too much more...

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Think you gotta let that go in a CG.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

So they won't be in 60 minutes shape in two weeks.

 

[pokey_reese]

Sucks because he turned around, but he also jumped into him pretty early.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

The way Burnett splayed onto the ATL guy drew the call

 

[pokey_reese]

ATL might hit the over all by themselves.

 

[GregHarris]

Atlanta puts the ball on the ground a lot.

 

[ilol@u]

Julio Jones is a fucking monster. I still wish the Pats drafted Dez instead of McCourty.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

When is the flu due to hit the Atlanta area?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Oooooo that play gave me the Malcolm Go warm and fuzzies.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Thats a TD

 

[edmunddantes]

No pylon camera?

 

[pdaj]

I've never gambled before, but I really wanted to throw down "big money" on ATL for this game. I knew they'd kill this banged-up, below-average defensive Packers team. Unfortunately, I have no balls.

Anyway, I'd be really excited for an ATL-NE Super Bowl.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bit like Malcolm Butler's play in the Super Bowl except for the outcome.

 

[DJnVa]

Oooooo that play gave me the Malcolm Go warm and fuzzies.

Ha. Thought the same thing.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

TD I think. Not that it matters.

 

[Jnai]

Green Bay with the Fantasy GG timing.
