Smith trying to become a legend

Tony Gonzalez is about to go 0-135381759018745901875 in playoff games.

That one was easy to figure out.

LOL. Screw atlanta.

And cements it

The Falcons are soft

Terrible decision by Atlanta. Take the easy points and kick the FG.

On the flipside. People complain coaches aren't aggressive enough and should go for it all the time on 4th and inches. Well, Mike Smith is doing that, and it's going to cost him his job.

I dunno why teams don't try and run to the outside in that situation. Just flip it to Julio jones and he probably scores there on the reverse action.

Heh.

Nicks!!!



i wanted him in the draft :(

OMG! TD Nicks 72 yds

thanks, eli

How the hell does he get wide open???

Stay down





Bitch.

Is Atlanta's coach TRYING to get fired?

That's easy to say in hindsight. If you get it, you're smart, if you don't, you're an idiot. Last year the Chiefs tried to run it outside on 4th and inches against the Ravens in the playoffs, failed, and people thought it was stupid.

"No, Eli Manning is no franchise QB",

Signed typical CP dumbass.

Ryan is no elite QB and Mike Smith should be fired tomorrow.

I liked the Dirty Bird dance from Nix.

I'm just happy the refs couldn't mess up the TD.... F WORD them!

Go for it?

Is he from the New England inbred tree? Pioli may be drooling

Was he the one that went for it in OT from their own 30?

Yep

Matt Ryan is slowly becoming one of the worst big game QBs in the entire NFL.

Bust

I guess they were just trying to save the spread.

There's no excuse not to be able to throw on the Giants garbage secondary.

I just woke up. WTF is this 2 bullshit?

Bad spot.

I believe it's called a safety. You're welcome.

Falcons defense caving in

ATL is awful on the road

That snapping sound you just heard was the Falcons' wills breaking.

TD Manningham!!!!!

Game.

Eli Manning is a game manager/True Fans.

Beyootiful pass by Eli

**** you TG /playoffs.

thanks, Eli

LMAO

Falcons are worse than the Broncos.

FWIW, I thought that I was way off with my original analysis of Matt Ryan. I said that his absolute upside was Matt Hasselbeck. Now, I wonder if that was too optimistic. He hasn't improved at all since his rookie year.

Great ****ing pass

He really hasn't.

I was really high on him for a while, but he doesn't do anything that really wows you.

He actually reeks of game manager.

Points come out of the Passing game-Jaws

Take heed Mr. Pioli

Atlanta thought this was a NHL playoff game.

So, if Denver wins their game today (you know if the stars all align just right)... how does Tebow compare to the likes of Ryan?

That's not true! You have to believe me! /Tim Tebow

Not gonna happen buddy.I expect Tebow to get his ass knocked off today. That running back/QB shit ends for him today.

The going for it on 4th down isn't the problem. It's the damn 2 points in a freaking playoff game. Seattle would've played better. Heck even St. Louis would've scored more than 2.

Giants season extended one more week...

And ESPN.

Matt Cassell would have dominated in this game/L.A.ChiefFan

He doesn't compare. Two completely different styles of QB play. In terms of playoff play though, I guess he'd be better in managing the game.

The funny thing is that Ryan doesn't understand how to execute a QB sneak. The mantra has been drilled in over and over to wait for a half a count before you bulldoze into the line. Had he waited, he would have seen the left side of the Giants' DL collapsing, which would have enabled him to fall forward for the first down yardage.

Unfortunately for Falcons fans, he has the Karl Malone gene. He panicked, ass****ed the center, and got stopped.

White took a swing. Can't believe he wasn't flagged

Tebow doesn't compare to any QB who can actually throw with accuracy and complete better than 60% of his passes in a game.

If the Broncos win, it's because of defense. Not because of some Tebow miracle.

If Denver wins today and it occurs without

A) Roethlisberger getting hurt

or

B) Denver forcing three or more TOs, I won't post for a year.

Has Atlanta at least missed a FG or turned the ball over on downs in Giants territory? This just seems pathetic.

Just be sure to go full Dane McCloud if that happens.

As long as they win ... I'm fine and I hope he has a statistically good day just to silence the naysayers for a day.




(Again... not expecting a win, just me being hopeful with less than an hour to go)

Not smart Hamas. Oh and no mults.

This has happened since you've started asking questions about it in this very thread.

It will do wonders for my productivity :D

That's holding? Pffftttt

the giants use 4 DEs on the defensive line .... fewell's scheme uses few blitz pkgs. the DEs make up for the giants horrible secondary

injuries to key players on the giants secondary has killed them all year -- no excuse, though. oh, prince looks like a bust.

love the chiefs defense ... excellent secondary -- j/m/o flowers should have made the pro bowl this year.

Always expect a win but accept what happens.:banghead:

Very disappointed in you sir.

I would be quoting this for posterity. But given his ankle, any wince or limp in-game would just result in rounds and rounds of debate over the definition of 'hurt'

That said, I'm envisioning 7-3 or 10-3 in the 4th. Dad only knows what happens from there.

Falcons GM thought Ryan was the QBOTF and sold their 2011 and 2012 drafts to prove it. He needs to step down.

Dad bless you.

Let's just clarify then: Unless he has to be seen by the trainers and miss multiple plays, "hurt" doesn't qualify.

I remember years ago on this board when I said I'd trade anything for Eli Manning and was laughed at...those were fun times.

Easily a top 5 QB, clutch performer as well.

Rodgers, Brees, Brady, P. Manning

and then...

Eli/Romo/Roethlisberger

I think those are the top two tiers of NFL QB's right now

ROFL @ Tynes, even though it makes no difference whatsoever.

Tynes!!!

Romo is not clutch
