Got too cute thinking about the clock, really should have been thinking touchdown.Average Reds said:
The timeout makers on the bottom score arnt bright enough. I though Philly had none not three!
They were tearing the Falcons apart with the short passing game. Why go with the dive over the middle to get the first?Jed Zeppelin said:
I don't mind kicking the field goal, but Kelly needs to make up his mode more quickly. The field goal unit had to rush on to the field. It may have impacted the kick.
It's the gray bars. I had assumed those were yellow bars thst had turned gray after they were used. I was wrong. ESPN is stupid.Freddy Linn said:
Coaches get way too conservative there. If you're going to run it anyway, why not try a naked bootleg (which would have been wide open), or maybe an end around or something. You know the defense is flying to the ball, so any sort of misdirection will catch them completely off guard, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, the clock is still moving just like you wanted. I can't remember the last time I saw a team in Atlanta's position right there, able to run the ball three straight times (unless they were just way better than their opponent on the LOS) and get the first down.
Whatever they are still stupid and really hard to see. everything ESPN touches is shit.Cellar-Door said:
Wow that was some series by Bradford.
1 yard completion.
Throw so bad the 3 Falcons closer to the ball than his WR can't pick it.
Pick with his WR nowhere near it.
Edit- missed the tip on the pick, looked up and saw it getting caught 8 yards past the WR.

Eagles have no one to blame but themselves. Dug a deep hole and then made some bad choices at the end of the game.
Wait, the pick hit his WR in the hands and he missed it??
That last pick was not on Bradford.

It wasn't a "tip." It went right through his hands.Cellar-Door said:
There's a significant difference.
Domer said:
The best-case scenario resulting from that decision is needing to defend a two-minute drill where the opponent only needs a FG to win. That's a terrible situation to be in against any remotely competent offense.
Fantasy football scoring should be smart enough by now to adjust for things like that last play. Bradford was not responsible for that pick, Matthews was. As a fantasy football based culture we should have move past this by now.
We're in for 3.5 hours of Chris Berman, Trent Dilfer, and black uniforms. Tempted to go to bed
Why are they both yelling?SeoulSoxFan said:
This is inexcusable and I still can't see the god damn timeout markers.
I've got Beman on mute so I'll just assume he said 'welcome to the Hotel California' at some point already.
