[htismaqe]

Panthers gonna be .500 after tonight. Matt Rhule not doing too bad.

[Rain Man]

I honestly have no idea who to root for.

[ptlyon]

I honestly have no idea who to root for.

Ask the mouse

[eDave]

Playing for .500 or playing for a 2nd win. Who's more motivated tonight?

I say Panthers.

[htismaqe]

I say Panthers.

The Panthers are theoretically in the playoff race right now.

[mr. tegu]

At least I have a few players in fantasy going in this game so that helps.

I haven't heard from the mouse today. I'm worried that ... wait, I guess I'm not worried.

[tyecopeland]

I'll be watching solely for Mike Davis. Hoping for a repeat of his first game against them.

[mr. tegu]

I have him and Ryan so I have much more confidence in Davis. Might be his last good chance for a big game with McCaffery due back soon.

[MMXcalibur]

If nothing else, it should be entertaining to see how Atlanta blows a lead in the 4th quarter this time around.

[Megatron96]

It's funny, because on paper the Falcons should win this thing pretty easily, but their defense apparently thinks it's the offseason because they haven't shown up to a single game so far. If I were betting on the game I'd probably pick the Panthers. They still look like they are playing for something.

[Easy 6]

This matchup LMAO, its like they looked football fans in the face and said... WE HATE YOUR GUTS

If you can sneak into the playoffs as a wildcard, you have a chance of playing the NFC East winner in the first round. You can't pass up that opportunity.

[FloridaMan88]

What creative way will the Falcons lose tonight is the only drama.

[kjwood75nro]

Might be a blessing, but Fox KSAS Channel 24 (Dish Network) is unavailable right now.

I’m showing Panthers -1.5 and o/u of 52. The only thing tempting to me is the under given its a Thursday game but I could easily see both defenses not showing up.

[Rain Man]

Kristina Pink is really cute, but she can't sing at all. Not at all.

Kristina Pink is really cute, but she can't sing at all. Not at all.

She is cute. We need her to wear some slutty clothing for this game

[Deberg_1990]

Future Hall of Famer Matt Ryan!

[RockChalk]

She is cute. We need her to wear some slutty clothing for this game

Well that’s that. No slutty outfit

[Rain Man]

She is cute. We need her to wear some slutty clothing for this game

I'm surprised that she hasn't already been advised of that by management. TV is a big-money business.

Management has failed her and failed us

Early returns suggest that the defenses are not showing up

[Easy 6]

ATLANTA COMES OUT HOT :whackit:

[Baby Lee]

It doesn't occur to you until you see it, but Gurley is immense.

[siberian khatru]

Pussies

[htismaqe]

Future Hall of Famer Matt Ryan!

ROFL

[Easy 6]

Pussies

No guts, no glory... in their position why would you NOT go for it

[RockChalk]

Cue the early sad fox music

[Easy 6]

Yeah Mike Davis ain't half bad

[crayzkirk]

Why do we have to have Joe Buck? And Troy?

[displacedinMN]

like those were fitzgeralds arms.

[eDave]

Why do we have to have Joe Buck? And Troy?

What night and network is this?

[Megatron96]

Fox

[displacedinMN]

two time outs and a penalty

[Megatron96]

Nice catch

[Easy 6]

Try your big TE here, ATL...

[eDave]

Pat has scored by now.

[crayzkirk]

What night and network is this?

Maybe Tucker/Shawn should do the blow by blow?

[RaidersOftheCellar]

I have a bad feeling that the Falcons are going to beat KC. One of those talented teams that always finds ways to lose. They tend to put it together eventually and demolish someone.

[htismaqe]

are you even watching the game?

[htismaqe]

That was a money throw.

[Megatron96]

Yeah that falcons defense looks really scary.

[Baby Lee]

Slicker than it had ANY right to be.

[Megatron96]

Slicker than it had ANY right to be.

Looked like a practice snap.

[displacedinMN]

put the ref in concussion protocol

[Rain Man]

A catch that is not. It skipped like a truant.

[Megatron96]

That’s a catch

[Rain Man]

That’s a catch

I slap your face with a white glove. We'll see who wins this duel.

[Rain Man]

I slap your face with a white glove. We'll see who wins this duel.

Never mind. No reason to fight over this.

But that wasn't a catch.

[crayzkirk]

wut?

It IS Fox...:rolleyes:

[eDave]

That was not a catch but replay rules are replay rules.

[eDave]

It IS Fox...:rolleyes:

nm

[Megatron96]

I missed it. Was it a catch?

[Rain Man]

I missed it. Was it a catch?

Go to h***!

(Slouches in seat and sulks.)

[displacedinMN]

if that defender does not slip, Ryan get pasted.


Good run

[Megatron96]

Go to h***!

(Slouches in seat and sulks.)

:LOL:

[mkp785]

Look at Ryan out there. Like a white Michael Vick :-)

[Megatron96]

Look at Ryan out there. Like a white Michael Vick :-)

Exactly like that

[RaidersOftheCellar]

are you even watching the game?

Not really.

[Megatron96]

Panthers defense sux.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I’m entertained...

[Rain Man]

I’m entertained...

This thread might hit 100 posts.

[htismaqe]

I’m entertained...

Because football.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This thread might hit 100 posts.

I’m a little dreary right now to post too actively, but the game has been fun to watch so far.

Carolina with McCaffrey back next week will give us their best shot — it won’t be enough, but they’re feisty.

[htismaqe]

Bryan Burns is a nice player.

[TribalElder]

ROFL

matt ryan is so fucking slow

he looks like he is running in mud up to his knees LMAO

[TribalElder]

looks like this might come down to the wire

who wants to lose the most

[pugsnotdrugs19]

looks like this might come down to the wire

who wants to lose the most

The answer is always the Falcons.

[RockChalk]

ROFL

matt ryan is so ****ing slow

he looks like he is running in mud up to his knees LMAO

Reminds me of Trent when he was with us

[mkp785]

Carolina with McCaffrey back next week will give us their best shot — it won’t be enough, but they’re feisty.

Forgot about that. We would get him for his 1st game back :BS:
It's a high ankle so maybe they'll limit his touches.

[Megatron96]

Why are the Falcons lining up so far off?

[Shiver Me Timbers]

Like that Davis kid

[Megatron96]

Inc

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Ridley is out with an ankle. Bad news there...

[Megatron96]

So many gingers in commercials these days

[TribalElder]

that was a turnover

[Megatron96]

Well that was dumb

[TribalElder]

ROFL tackled on 4th down by his own linemans ass

[Megatron96]

That’s very Lamar looking, except Ryan actually completes the pass/

[Megatron96]

Should hav bet the under dang it.

[Deberg_1990]

Teddy MediocreWater

[htismaqe]

Teddy MediocreWater

He's no Matt Ryan.

[Megatron96]

Teddy MediocreWater

He has basically one decent receiver. No rb.

[lcarus]

Carolina's offensive line is absolutey fucking atrocious at pass blocking. This is the NFL. Learn to pick up a fricking blitz.

[Megatron96]

And apparently one the worst OLs in the NFL

[Megatron96]

If ATL dline can beat your OL your OL must suck big time

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Nice

[displacedinMN]

fake punt is a thing now

[Megatron96]

Nice fake!

[lcarus]

That was just like the Texans fake punt in the playoffs minus Sorensen blowing it up.

[Megatron96]

That guy ain’t no Dirty Dan!

[mr. tegu]

Should hav bet the under dang it.


Ironically it should be well on pace for the over but the Falcons red zone offense is just terrible.

[htismaqe]

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

[Megatron96]

Tripping

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Who’s the backup, PJ Walker?

[htismaqe]

Dante Fowler is one dirty mother fucker.

[mr. tegu]

Let’s see if there’s a trip? It was obvious what the penalty was.

[lcarus]

First time I've seen a guy get a sack by kicking the QB in the sack

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Shit... Teddy might be out

[Megatron96]

Oh shit. That looked bad.

[htismaqe]

Dirty Birds are dirty.

[Sassy Squatch]

Bridgewater got the shit kicked out of him there.

[htismaqe]

Shit... Teddy might be out

Tripped on the front end of the play and speared in the back of the head at end.

[PHOG]

So is the guy that gave Bridgewater a little tap to the head when he was already down.

[Megatron96]

Bridgewater got the shit kicked out of him there.

Could’ve broken his neck

[htismaqe]

So is the guy that gave Bridgewater a little tap to the head when he was already down.

Yeah, I just posted that too. Didn't fully see it until the replay.

There was plenty of ridiculous on that play.

[TribalElder]

wow, hope he can go

[htismaqe]

Fuck yes. Ejected.

[PHOG]

Good! Fuck Harris.

[Sassy Squatch]

He's up and walking. Good.

[htismaqe]

Wow, that was a hell of throw, almost a great catch.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

That’s a pretty ball...

[htismaqe]

ROFL

Walker had to throw a block on Fowler.

[Sassy Squatch]

Isn't that the XFL stud?

[TribalElder]

wow, I didn't realize he got hit that hard

fucking grewsome

[siberian khatru]

Gregg Williams says, “We got some of that for Mahomes Sunday.”

[htismaqe]

Gregg Williams says, “We got some of that for Mahomes Sunday.”

Exactly what I was thinking.

[TribalElder]

ROFL walker throwing darts already

[Deberg_1990]

He has basically one decent receiver. No rb.

He’s ok, but nothing special. Never has been

[TribalElder]

wow those conditions look awful

wind and rain

[Megatron96]

He’s ok, but nothing special. Never has been

Didn’t say he was, but he literally has nothing to work with

[pugsnotdrugs19]

wow those conditions look awful

wind and rain

Not cold at least.

I still think low to mid 30s and a hard rain is the worst possible (realistic) conditions.

[staylor26]

Didn’t say he was, but he literally has nothing to work with

Eh.

He’s got a pretty solid trio of WR’s in Moore, Anderson, and Samuel.

And mike Davis has been great while McCaffrey’s been out.

[htismaqe]

He’s ok, but nothing special. Never has been

Kind of like Matt Ryan.

[displacedinMN]

Gregg Williams says, “We got some of that for Mahomes Sunday.”

need to throw a sideline pass to kelce so he can run Williams over.

[Megatron96]

Eh.

He’s got a pretty solid trio of WR’s in Moore, Anderson, and Samuel.

And mike Davis has been great while McCaffrey’s been out.

Davis ain’t McCaffrey. And Anderson came from the Jets.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Let the blown lead begin.

[htismaqe]

Oh Koo.

[PattyFlakes]

Let the blown lead begin.

Falcons gonna Falcon

[staylor26]

Davis ain’t McCaffrey. And Anderson came from the Jets.

What does coming from the Jets have to do with anything? He has 640 yards already this year. He’s on pace to have well over 1,000. He’s a good 1B to Moore’s 1A. They aren’t a spectacular group, but they’re solid.

[PattyFlakes]

What does coming from the Jets have to do with anything? He has 640 yards already this year. He’s on pace to have well over 1,000.

Anderson has been excellent this season. Shows what a talented player can do once he is able to get out of that shithole in New Jersey.

[Megatron96]

Yeah because the Jets are just known for developing talent/

[staylor26]

Yeah because the Jets are just known for developing talent/

lol dude, wtf are you talking about?

Are you suggesting that what he’s done so far this year is irrelevant because he comes from the Jets (where he was also a pretty productive player)?

[lcarus]

God the Panthers are just playing so frickin conservatively on offense. 2nd and 10 and they throw a 3 yard out. 3rd and 7 and they throw a 2 yard pass. Ugh. I know their line is shit and they don't have time for much, but at some point you gotta grow a pair and try to get something going.

[Pepe Silvia]

I don’t like the new ATL thing that they added to their uniforms.

[Megatron96]

lol dude, wtf are you talking about?

Are you suggesting that what he’s done so far this year is irrelevant because he comes from the Jets (where he was also a pretty productive player)?

I’m saying he isn’t that great. Maybe he’s anWR3 for most teams. Definitely not a 1. So what if he has some yards? Basically teddy has to throw to someone. Anderson is okay. He ain’t nothing special either.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

That’s a hell of a spin move

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Poor word choice there Troy...

[LittleMeatballNick]

Poor word choice there Troy...

What did he say? I didnt catch it

[pugsnotdrugs19]

What did he say? I didnt catch it

“And now he’s bent over.”

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Went OOB??

[lcarus]

Why fair catch a punt at the 4 yard line? That had a great chance of being a touchback if he let it go.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I’m not sure Teddy can even come back on ATL with all this conservative play.

[mr. tegu]

Bridgewater looks like he is running really fast but he doesn’t cover a lot of ground.

[KChiefs1]

Carolina is pathetic.

[Megatron96]

Whoever is calling plays for the Panthers sux.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Here they go again

[mr. tegu]

Falcons defense trying to close it out? Bold plan.

[lcarus]

Whoever is calling plays for the Panthers sux.

Yep and their line sucks badly. They had a blitzer up the middle double teamed and it looked like they just let him go and he sacked Bridgewater. Sad.

[htismaqe]

That was clutch.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Terrell, what a shitty pick that was

[Baby Lee]

How in the world?

Reminds me of many years of our 3rd down defensive failure. . .

https://media1.tenor.com/images/91abc7a6c7769a38d8569d23a1df0e8b/tenor.gif?itemid=4565904

[Megatron96]

Is Freddie kitchens the OC for panthers?

[Shiver Me Timbers]

Carolina is a terribly coached team

[Megatron96]

Arthur blank looks awful/

[KChiefs1]

Teddyception

[Deberg_1990]

Teddy MediocreWater

[lcarus]

That was just a terrible football game all around. Thursday night games are almost always shit.

[htismaqe]

Arthur blank looks awful/

I thought that was Walt Disney.

[KChiefs1]

I thought that was Walt Disney.


He’s been dead since the 60’s.

[TribalElder]

shit game

now the babbleheads are trying to hype tua

tua threw to receivers with 5+ yards of separation in college ROFL

[siberian khatru]

He’s been dead since the 60’s.

His head is still alive

[gblowfish]

Well at least the Falcons cheap shotted Teddy to rough him up before he plays us.

[htismaqe]

He’s been dead since the 60’s.

From the looks of Arthur Blank last night, he has been too.

[Shiver Me Timbers]

Well at least the Falcons cheap shotted Teddy to rough him up before he plays us.

I'm surprised he came back in. I think he had momentary paralysis. Like a computer rebooting after the power goes out

[RedRaider56]

I only got to watch the 4th quarter last night and couldn't get over how bad the Panthers passing game is. Except for that one long shot, everything seemed to be 3 yard or 5 yard out patterns that always ended up being short of a 1st down on 3rd down attempts.

Of courses, as porous as that OL was, that may have been the only types of routes that could be run..

[Hoover]

1. As Chiefs fans we have become so spoiled. I mean shit, if Mahomes isn't on the field, the game is shit imo.

2. ATL should have put 40 on the Panthers. Seriously, their inability to get into the end zone is like nothing I have ever seen before. Its like the year Alex couldn't throw a TD pass to a WR stuff.

3. ATL is where EB should go. They need to draft a young RB, but man they have some serious talent at WR and their TE isn't bad.

I think - I hope - you meant they need a young QB.

If I were EB, I wouldn't want anything to do with Matt Ryan.

[BlackOp]

ATL had a 3rd and 14 inside the the Carolina fifty...they convert and the game is over.

They ran a pitch and Gurley went out of bound, killing the clock. They had nothing to lose trying the get the first down...it was a very strange sequence. They didn't even try to ice the game up by 8...they deserve to be 2-6.
