Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Falcons-Giants Third Quarter Open Thread

The score is 7-2, somehow. The Falcons have played one of their best defensive halves of the season and one of the worst offensive halves, capped off by some of the worst clock management you'll ever see.

They're still very much in the game, these Falcons, and they have the ball after the half. Plenty of time to turn it around, and all the incentive in the world to do it. Stay optimistic.

GO FALCONS!

Alright

Getting the ball back. I know it’s hard, but everyone chill. We get the ball, it’s only 5 points. Some White or Jones magic, a pick, anything can completely change this game. Just stay positive, it’s frustrating as hell but let’s just keep in it guys. Coaching has been questionable at best and awful at worst, but let’s just chill and see how the second half pans out.

I also haven’t seen any thows over 10 yards from scrimmage. It’s maddening. I know they do a great job of getting pressure, but let’s have a little max protect play action down the field to Julio or Roddy

Cant block long enough for the pass and hey cant open holes for the run. Combine that with the fact that if Turner has to make even one cut and he is done. Our stats as a running team are all smoke and mirrors.

“There is no penalty for intentional grounding because, even though there was no receiver in the area, the ball failed to reach the line of scrimmage, the QB was in the tackle box, and he was in the grip of a defensive player, Drew Brees told me it was supposed to be a screen play.”

Not been a factor?

No one on the offense has been a factor. The have been offensive.

We need to draw more roughing penalties, it’s the only way we can move the ball.

I think so

And a new OL scheme. Look what NO did to their line midseason.

We don’t make shit for adjustments.

Tim Tebow

And his Wishbone Option offense will probably score more points than we did.

New Orlean, Green Bay and New England..

have proven that it is no longer good D that is important in this new NFL: of protect the receiver from hits. Our D is decent enough now we need to figure out . Do we need a new scheme to fit our pieces or a new pieces to fit our old scheme.

Unlike others I still belive in Defense

but im slowly losing hope looking at the landscape of the NFL

by hawksfanatic1 on Jan 8, 2012 4:04 PM EST reply actions  

The only thing that really matters on defense any more is a pass rush and short yardage situations, you basically have to pressure the other QB in to making a mistake and be able to get them off the field when you have the chance.

Yeah, my chances of getting with her are about the same as this team winning a playoff...

I can just dream.

What a conclusion to a painful season. Looks like our motto will remain “Wait ’till next year!”

I’m so pissed it hurts.
