Ravens at Falcons

[tsylvester]

Some great college games today, quite enjoyable. One thing I will add, I am not that impressed with Manning. Sure, rocket for an arm but not very accurate. Several qbs Ive seen the oast 2 years who are better than he, in college.

Watched a game turn in a goal line stand. The very next play, a 97 yard touchdown run.

Man, that Giants vs Commandos game was an exercise in futility

I’ll try to keep you company tonight, Tim!

I'm going to bed, watch the recording in the am

So far, nice drive to open the game, terrible play calls at the goal line followed by Huntley missing a wide open Flowers in the corner, as he tossed a high hard, wide pass to Andrews who had position 

3-0 is nice but me thinks they will need more of the 7 variety

Bummer they couldn’t convert. Hopefully the offense will score on this second possession. 

[deeshopper]

You’ve gotta be freaking kidding me. Fumble recovered for a touchdown. Ugh. 

[deeshopper]

Well I see the offense is going to suck tonight. 

[deeshopper]

Now the defense wants to follow in the offense’s direction.

They played much better than I thought they would.

Same here. The Ravens came out breathing fire and playing fast. We had our ups and downs but got more effective as we wore the Falcons down.

 Kudos to Snoop, Derrick, Hamilton, and the Defensive line and linebackers. And Flowers and Bateman.

If you look up ugly in the dictionary it would have a picture of this team in this game.

Fumble returned for a touchdown, can't catch the easy passes for 1st downs, cant even block air, as many linemen missing blocks, looking around trying to find someone to block.

At one point this team 3 times as many plays,held the ball for 4 times what the Falcons did, yet still trailed in the game. 

The defense was very good, they played Penex just the way you should: make him beat you with his legs. Oh he ate some, but not near his average. Same for Robinson and their running game. Then Hamilton sealed the game in over time. I bet that felt real good for him, remember last year, he could have sealed the win over the Browns with a pick but dropped it!? The Falcons scored 1 offensive touchdown, ONE.

Yeah, the coaches and players are singing a sweet tune for Snoop, but man, good thing it was an over confident Falcons team on a Sunday night after a tropical storm roared through the area.

4-1, right on track, record wise. They have set themselves up nicely while they figure who and what works best.

Now we get into the hard part of the schedule, Browns up next, a team that always plays us tuff, a team playing well, despite their slip up yesterday.

If Huntley had a stronger arm, he could be a number one quarterback somewhere. It really hurts him that he doesn't because he has all the other qualities to be one: poise, leadership, game management, etc. He deserved the win and the accolades last night especially on that OT drive.
