When is the flu due to hit the Atlanta area?

Just after someone pulls the fire alarm.

Bit like Malcolm Butler's play in the Super Bowl except for the outcome.

Funny that the Seahawks D Coordinator from that game is Atlanta's coach. Would have thought it'd be too soon.

Oooooo that play gave me the Malcolm Go warm and fuzzies.

Yep, Ricardo Lockette wanted that ball significantly less than Butler.

This. 59-7 Falcons.

Ferm Sheller · Jan 22, 2017

Alive?

Fred in Lynn · Jan 22, 2017

That's two abominations in one week for the Carters. Not sure 90-year-olds can handle that.

Yes, somehow I don't think that you're gonna punch the mattress when you wake up in the morning over that one.

Hoodie Sleeves · Jan 22, 2017

I really hate that teams have to go through the whole challenge rigamarole in situations like that.

Reggie's Racquet · Jan 22, 2017

A real President...that Aaron Rodgers house on fire commercial seems well timed.

Bellhorn · Jan 22, 2017

Atlanta already has 26 first downs - playoff record is 34

edmunddantes · Jan 22, 2017

Maybe if GB would stop dropping passes.

richgedman'sghost · Jan 22, 2017

Just curious not that it matters but what is the record for most successful 2 point conversions by one team in a single game? I cannot imagine a team converted more than 2 in a game.

pokey_reese · Jan 22, 2017

Why do only GB players get injured?

DeadlySplitter · Jan 22, 2017

ACL for Lang?

richgedman'sghost · Jan 22, 2017

The way that some of the people talk in this thread make it seem like 2 point conversions are a forgone conclusion.

To go with that, what's the record for most 2-pt attempts in a game?

Ferm Sheller · Jan 22, 2017

No catch

ilol@u · Jan 22, 2017

Ball hit the ground.

McBride11 · Jan 22, 2017

I can't wait for Rodgers to win the MVP over Ryan

GregHarris · Jan 22, 2017

Damn its coming back. I wanted Rodgers to throw 4 picks.

Maybe he has now exorcised the demon.

Sportsbstn · Jan 22, 2017

Have to challenge that

Ferm Sheller · Jan 22, 2017

GB going home in 45 ambulances

Ferm Sheller · Jan 22, 2017

Have to go for this

Compliments of State Farm Insurance.

pokey_reese · Jan 22, 2017

It's hard to imagine that this game doesn't make ATL the favorite in any SB matchup, no?

McBride11 · Jan 22, 2017

Is that really a slide??? Weak call

Ferm Sheller · Jan 22, 2017

Yes, just like Carolina last year.

Hoodie Sleeves · Jan 22, 2017

Shitty call. Really late slide.

Time to Mo Vaughn · Jan 22, 2017

If you don't slide feet first, that's not a flag.

patinorange · Jan 22, 2017

That's a weak call.

pokey_reese · Jan 22, 2017

Rodgers made a great attempt to draw that flag, stupid guy bit.

Jed Zeppelin · Jan 22, 2017

I'd guess that snow game a couple years back when there was literally no ground to hold/kick on. I want to say Detroit/Pittsburgh maybe?

Edit: Lions/Eagles

McBride11 · Jan 22, 2017

Hah, good overturn by the refs

DeadlySplitter · Jan 22, 2017

Nah BB/Brady legacy vs a team only in their 2nd SB ever?

Tim Salmon · Jan 22, 2017

That's good officiating. More of that, please.

Ferm Sheller said:

To be fair, I meant from a Vegas line point of view.

Only way they wouldn't be is if the Patriots blow the doors off the Steelers. Steelers won/t be favored in any scenario

edmunddantes · Jan 22, 2017

Yeah but was it really the refs on the field or did NY call in illegally?

You are making a few assumptions there...

SemperFidelisSox · Jan 22, 2017

NE/Pitt don't have Denvers defense.

DeadlySplitter · Jan 22, 2017

pokey_reese said:

True but point being I am not afraid of a team that will be happy just to get to the SB

speedracer · Jan 22, 2017

pokey_reese said:

I'm curious about GB's roster construction -- iirc Football Outsiders did a writeup claiming that Tony Dungy's Colts defenses were systematically undersized and thus prone to injury

edmunddantes · Jan 22, 2017

I do like the GB players not over celebrating. Wait till it's a game.

Al Zarilla · Jan 22, 2017

Falcon D guys sucking wind a bit. But it's really late.
