NFCCG: San Francisco @ Atlanta (merged)

[Dustin]

The Falcons are the biggest home underdog in NFL playoff history.

 

 

[ColtStrong]

Being in the Atlanta area, I have to root for them to make it to, and win the big show. Go Falcons!

[Dustin]

Well, this is awkward.

[Dustin]

Brain: 49ers: 34-24

 

Heart: Falcons: 27-24

[shakedownstreet]

gold speculators at dirty birds

[ColtStrong]

Must be nice to have a good o-line.

[Dustin]

Let's go!!!

[ColtStrong]

Whooooooo hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[21isSuperman]

It must be insanely loud in that dome

[Jules]

lol this is why I was having doubts on this game the last few days here. My gut said Falcons but my head the 49ers obviously.

 

It is early so adjustments can be made but Ryan looks ready......

[21isSuperman]

Excellent coverage by Decoud

[Jules]

Kinda gives you old Colts vibes......

 

It must be insanely loud in that dome

[ColtStrong]

I wanna see falcons/ravens in the Bowl.

Was gonna start one again...good job Dustin!  You are on it!!!

 

Game:  The 12th man showed up.......Nolan D vs. Kaepernick???  Who wins?

[Dustin]

Well if the first series is any indication then Kaep is going to have a long day.

[21isSuperman]

Wow, this Falcons offense is doing their thing

[Jules]

Even if SF wins this game, I don't have as much trust as I used to with Kapernick winning it all. This is only his 9th game in the NFL and he is too run first for my tastes.....

 

Every time I turned on ESPN this week I saw Kaep running for that TD vs. the Packers. We get it we get it.......he can run.

[21isSuperman]

That security guard took a big hit.  Hopefully he is ok

[Jules]

Clearly the Falcons had a bounty on that security guard.

[21isSuperman]

Julio is rippin it this game!

[ColtStrong]

Clearly the Falcons had a bounty on that security guard.

I hope they investigate.

[Jules]

Holy crap.

 

Matt Manning is on a roll so far........

 

See everyone was upset with the Colts out and Peyton out. We have Matt Manning and the Atlanta Colts.

[BrentMc11]

Well if the first series is any indication then Kaep is going to have a long day.

I thought Nolan would give him fits....If he can confuse Hall of Famers, he can confuse Kaep!!

[21isSuperman]

They should give the fans behind the goalposts those white plastic tubes that you can blow up (thunder sticks?).  Then, when the home team goes for a field goal try, they could hold them up to give the kicker a b more distinct target.

 

He was down, no fumble

[Jules]

I thought Nolan would give him fits....If he can confuse Hall of Famers, he can confuse Kaep!!

 

Interesting, I saw a thread on the Falcons forum yesterday that said they usually play to the level of their competition. If they are playing Peyton they will rise to the occasion. If they are playing Oakland or Tampa Bay they will play to their level too.

 

Hmmmm........

 

Not over yet. A lot of game to play but Ryan does look good early. Kaepernick needs to do something since he looks like a nervous 15 year old right now.

[BrentMc11]

This is Mike Nolan's chance to say "I am an NFL Defensive Coordinator.  I saw, played and ran the freaking veer offense in Pee Wee, Middle School and High School....saw some in college!  Fans...This is the NFL....if we play Contain, we will shut it down!  Simple stuff."  This is no new offense.....it is not a fad....it is a variation of an offense all of us old guys should know...and should SHUT DOWN!!!! 

[Dustin]

They're trying to give them the ball back.

All about the fans and Mike Nolan...amazing Joe Buck just said the same thing.......

[21isSuperman]

Pass protection is not Iupati's strongsuit

[Jules]

Oh my God........

 

This is ugly. It is like reverse Falcons/Packers 2010 so far.

 

 

Is it too late to put back in Alex Smith if Kaep can't even get a first down?

[21isSuperman]

What is everyone's opinion on Joe Buck?  I know a lot of people don't like him, but why?  I don't watch FOX football that much since Indy is usually on CBS

[BrentMc11]

BTW....I don't care who wins, but would like to see Jim Harbaugh in the Super Bowl.....just doing my analysis thing....sorry if you are all about the 49ers...they make get it soon.....Nolan has them baffled!

[amfootball]

Atlanta is feeling it big time.

[21isSuperman]

So San Fran ends the quarter with 1 yard?

[NewEra]

Really good play calling, or shall I say audibles by Ryan

[21isSuperman]

I think Nolan is a very underrated defensive coordinator

[ColtsFTW]

I just want Colin Kaepernick to lose. I know its not uncommon but I feel bad for what happened to Alex Smith. It encourages stuff like RG3's limping around a field insisting on playing because there is always someone ready to try and take your job.

[ColtStrong]

would like to see Jim Harbaugh in the Super Bowl

Boooooo

[Dustin]

Atlanta is dominating in every phase of the game.

[BrentMc11]

He is a master of confusion......I totally agree.  I think he is one of the absolute best.  I love disguise.....he is a master like Belichick and the boys.
