Ally Bongo Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Credit where it's due As i said - you cannot trust Matt Ryan so it's unfathomable why the Falcons play calling kept putting the ball in his hands when they should have been running down the clock Had Patriots -3 in a line running onto some games this week so not distraught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Jim Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Not sure you can blame Ryan for the loss. Yes he made an error in getting sacked at 28-20 but the holding call helped push them out of field goal range. Ultimately it came down to their defence being unable to stop the Patriots in the 4th quarter and OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 WOW! What an incredible game. Few sports can deliver drama quite like the NFL serves up frequently. Im going to work after only 2 hours sleep but it was totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Fell asleep at half time, was trying to avoid the score. Fat chance FB. Unbelievable. WTF happened? i thought they were setting the stones in the Falcons rings at HT. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 2 minutes ago, biffer said: Espn are describing it as a choke job for the ages. I think for a team to come back from 25 points down, with only about 20 minutes left, there has to be an element of the leading team throwing it away. There were several crucial plays where the Falcons had the ball and screwed up. Ryan's fumble, Ryan's sack when in FG range and then a holding penalty on the next play to take them out of field goal range are the three that jump to mind. Kyle Shanahan has looked like a genius all season, his play calling last night will have some revisiting that assessment. What the Patriots did was make the most of every single opportunity they had in that 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thought it was going to be game over when Jones brought in that catch (think it was during the drive where they ended up out of field goal range?) Obviously a huge part of it is the Falcons chucking it away but dont think you can take anything away from Brady and the Patriots. There must also be huge pressure on the offence to get points when its a one score game and you know Tom Brady is coming back out. Made me think of a couple of years ago against the seahawks when they went for a passing play from a yard or two out. The booing of Roger Goodell was enjoyable as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooo - i wasnt It's just that Matt Ryan has a history of blowing out after being hot Im blaming the play calling Regardless of who the QB was they should have been running the clock at that time which makes it all the more dafter that they kept calling air plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Especially when you consider the first half My prediction that it wouldnt be close should have been right Brian Costello Verified account @BrianCoz The Patriots ran 93 plays. The Falcons ran 46. That is staggering. Brady threw more passes (62) than the Falcons had total plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugitive Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Some game ! I got a couple of lines up - Defensive TD and Patriots at -3 but was really pissed off that I missed on the 2nd Q being the highest scoring - even though it was ! Apparently they add the OT scores onto the 4th :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sad times as Tony Romo confirms his retirement, in order to take up a job as analyst on CBS. There's not been many players who've been more fun/exciting to watch in the NFL in the last 10 years or so than Romo. Very sad to see him go but also a bit glad that we wont see him lining up for another team. It appears the Texans didn't want him that much, which is utterly bizarre. I look forward to their upcoming mediocre 9-7 season, with Tom Savage under center... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A horrible story of a guy with a decent upbringing who made it big, then regressed in to a street life of hanging with drug dealers and gun runners. Tragic waste of talent. Even more tragic waste of the 3 lives he was involved in ending. Tragic for his family, including his young daughter. I was bemused as to why he went with an appeal for the double murder, won, then killed himself. One rumour i read online is that, as he'd lodged an appeal for the killing he was convicted of, the conviction would now be "vacant" (as no trial will take place). This will leave his family able to claim his NFL pension and possibly recover signing bonuses that would've been due to Hernandez from the Pats. Dunno how true that is and don't have the inclination to study US Law or NFL Rules for hours to find out. Would be a smart move if true and also bookend his story with a less horrible act. 2 hours ago, Geed said: NFL fixtures out tonight for the new season around 1am UK time Yup.

Think most Jets fans will be giving next season a miss so you might be there on your tod Edit just realised you meant 2018 but it will probably still be the same We might beat the Browns but it's in Cleveland so distinct possibility of 0-16 Edited April 20, 2017 by Ally Bongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
