Week Three: Atlanta Falcons (2-0) @ Detroit Lions (1-1)

[RandyMarsh]

Branch is everywhere.

[TP_Fan]

I see you Aaron Glenn!

[TP_Fan]

Branch, how was he not a first rounder?

[TP_Fan]

Pass plays that lose yards. Can’t happen. 

[TP_Fan]

Goff is absolutely dealing. 

[KL2]

Bombs nothing by bombs everyplay...Madden 04 strategy!

[Motor City Sonics]

Fleet of Foot Goff there. LOL

 

 

Go up big here, fellas. 

[TP_Fan]

2nd and goal and they hand it off on the short side of the field for no yards. I just don’t understand that.  The absolute worst way to use Gibbs. 

[TP_Fan]

Refs bail us out!  Wow. 

[number20]

Man I hate running on 2nd and long

[TP_Fan]

Just using Gibbs wrong in every way. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Geez, use Gibbs on the outside, man

It’s Ben Johnson’s blankie.

This to goal play calling is all sorts of bad. My god. Come on. 

[number20]

This is where we miss Montgomery

[TP_Fan]

2nd and long?  Better run it.  I’ve never seen a coach so obsessed with running on 2nd and long. I get the strategy, you want to get some yards to make the 3rd more manageable, but at this point it’s automatic. There is no decision for a defense to make against the lions on 2nd and long. It will always be a run.  

[TP_Fan]

lol that’s your play on 3rd and goal Ben?  6 plays with goal to go and they didn’t even sniff the end zone.  Johnson regressing was not in the cards this year.  God was that bad. 

[RandyMarsh]

Yeah not a good finish to that drive at all. 

[TP_Fan]

And again, the way they are using Gibbs is criminal. All that tape from of bama and they are like, better do the opposite of all this.  No screens. No edge rushes.  Let’s have him block and only go up the middle. It’s bad.

Man that was painful. For all the people saying they should have gone for it at the end of the game last week, if their plan was anything like these plays, its a good thing they took the points and went to OT.

[TP_Fan]

Big 3rd down here.  You’d think the falcons will run to ensure the lions use their timeout. 

[TP_Fan]

Ok, falcons coaching is awful lol. Can’t have an incompletion there. Lions get ball back with 60 secs and a timeout. 

[TP_Fan]

You just can’t have a holding on that return. Will Harris. Bad. Just bad. 

[TP_Fan]

What a pass and catch there. Wow. 

[TP_Fan]

Ragnow beat real clean there. Yikes. 

[number20]

Protection hasn't been that great the last 2 drives
