Falcons/Rams Thread
Since The Jets/Steelers thread seemed to work well... I guess we could try one for this game as well...

I'm personally going for the Rams.. but hopefully we'll have a good game...... enjoy!

2. Seahawk fan here. Go Falcons.

It's like there's more Jets and Bosox fans on DU than
any other teams.

I wonder why that is.

6. It's painful watching Vick try to pass the ball.
He may be a great runner and all but he's a terrible quarterback.

Uh oh, Touchdown Dunn.

11. 21-14
Wide Open Pass there....

With that being said... the Ram's defense better shape up... they can't let the Falcons keep running through them like that.

17. Heh, no problem.
All the NFL fans I know watch all the games. I'm surprised at the apathy here.

20. We're still recouperating from the Steelers-Jets game
which wiped us completely out emotionally and physically.

Hubby and I are watching the Falcons-Rams game, though. Looks like Atlanta hit the ground running, so to speak.

21. Glad to see someone else on board...
I understand about the the other game.. that was draining regardless of who you were rooting for. I rooted for the Steelers... but I do feel for the Jets, I feel as if they should be moving on instead.

23. The Jets will always have next year
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 10:10 PM by Penndems
They played two great games against the Chargers and the Steelers. Pittsburgh is going all the way to the Super Bowl, though - just my gut instincts.

The Jets have GOT to start scouting around for a new kicker, though. This guy couldn't hit the side of a barn door.

OTOH, no team has ever made a winning punt from that far out in Heinz Field. So maybe Brian isn't to blame.

(on edit: typo (again))

19. Well I Guess
The Rams ended the half on a high note with that nice field goal....

But with that being said.. they better remember how to tackle properly next half.. or they are officially toast...

22. I agree.
The 55 yarder was a nice boot but the defense is wretched.

31. If they score here maybe but the defense is brutal.
They have to get their shit together quick, I can't see it happening. I'll take Vick getting beat up some more though.

Good so I'm not the only one who though that...

With that being said.. it looked like Bulger didn't want to get up after that. That was another nasty hit.

40. Final Thoughts....
The Ram's played extremely sloppy.. I think that should be said foremost.....

The Falcons flat out out ran the Rams.. and the Rams seem to not be able to comprehend what tackling is, or completing passes were anymore..

Vick.. for a guy who can't pass that great made some decent passes this game... and give him credit where he really deserves it.. he can really run.. In fact.. does anyone remember the official number of yards the Falcons ran for tonight...

Bulgar was just flat out assaulted. That's all I can say about it. He took some very brutal shots.

I cheered for the Rams, but I'm not surprised nor shock the Falcons won, I just thought it be a bit closer. The Rams have seen to have their shit together, but in this game against the Falcons... their shit can undone.

Congrats Falcons... good luck in the NFC Championship Game... I'm qutie sure.... The Eagles will be there to meet you.
