Falcons-Buccaneers Second Half Open Thread

PrintI wrote this before the game even started, so I'm going to take a wild guess as to what's going on at halftime.
The Falcons leapt out to an early lead behind Michael Turner's 300 yards rushing, thanks to his new bionic groin. Matt Ryan has thrown for 250 yards and 17 touchdowns, which is pretty improbable, but they did it. The Buccaneers are putting up a game effort, but they're looking toward drafting an elite cornerback in the 2012 NFL Draft and torturing the Falcons in the years to come.
So they've got a lead and things are going well. Here we go, as the second half begins.
GO FALCONS!

With your starters. We’ve pulled our starters before half time, most of our points have come from good field position by the D creating turnovers, and when we had a chance to drive the field and put up more we let it go to halftime.

I’ll be honest. I would have done the exact same thing as Coach Payton in that situation.

Falsons are better than than…just better people…thats all

crap defense
why in the world are they not experimenting with some man-to-man? instead they’re letting the other team hang in there way too long.
and on offense with Redman they’re running vanilla offense
Atlanta Falcons fan in Moscow, Russia
I know this game is in hand...
But this game is starting to show me that our main problem is scheming, not players.
BVG’s defense is just laughable. We need to make changes here. It might be more important to get rid of BVG rather than MM.
I've been hard on Decoud and Robinson
But no longer. I think a better DC might get a lot more out of them.
The problem with Dunta
is more that he is schemed bad for his skill set. We have two good man coverage guys, bump and run guys. BVG has them in zone all the time and it makes Dunta look like a worse player than he really is

From watching that play
It looks to me like he was propelling himself toward the ball and just crashed into Parker. Probably should have been more aware of where he was, but I don’t think that was intentional. I also don’t think it merited getting shoved, punched multiple times and herded off to the sideline.
But that’s just me.

Agreed. He read the play and dove for the hit as the ball was tipped..
unless he can stop himself in mid air, not much to be done.

didn't you know?
defensive players are expected to be able to stop themselves in the middle of the air on a dime and completely change their direction of travel, also on a dime.
I guess I saw it different than you guys.
Not expecting him to stop in mid air or change direction. It just seemed to be an unnecessary hit. Imagine if he did that in a game that mattered and got ejected… Oh wait, our Pass D would probably improve. Good play buddy!

I agree it was an unnecessary hit
it was more hyperbole about him stopping himself in mid air, and the pervasive attitude of NFL officials towards defensive players.
yeah
finally

if Oakland loses, Denver’s in the playoffs no matter what.

Mike Tolbert just ripped of a 40 yarder
Oaklands defense is horrible, I could give him a 10 yard head start and still catch him before he gets to 40
gpot thtat one.

Soooo
Who are yous guys hoping to play? Giants or Cowboys?
I think you could beat either team. But I hate the cowboys and their fans, so here’s going for the Giants!
I'd rather play the Cowboys
But it’s kind of a toss-up.
