Did you see that guys pants fall off

wat

 

[BravesCountry]

Okay everyone let's go visit our loved ones for 20 minutes then report back for football.

Nah need to analyze my fantasy lineup some more. No time for loved ones.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

That's a pretty bullshit ending, you should be able to decline delay of game especially in a situation like that where the entire play was executed normally and the whistle didn't even happen until after the kick.

I don't even know how Detroit won after that ending. Why did they run it up the middle twice, kneel and risk losing the game on a spike that could have been messed up just to get the clock down to 4 seconds?

 

[Goro Majima]

I haven't seen so much bullshit in a win in a long time.

Wow.

That ending was so Atlanta.

 

[slabrock]

I can't stop laughing

 

[TheAbsolution]

That's just hilarious. Even as a Falcons fan myself that's just I mean LOL.

 

[Fox318]

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lololol Falcons.

Hell of a come back, but shit, there's no way they should have bungled that ending. The stoppage of the clock and then throwing it on 3rd down when they could have wasted another 40 seconds.

No way Mike Smith lasts another season.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So MVPrater is back!

 

[Wes]

The Lions won with a delay of game penalty.

 

[WedgeX]

I can't be happy about this. too much fuckery again.

Something something always happy about a win, minus any injuries....

 

[VeryGooster]

 

[linkboy]

Fuck this game. Just like offsides for the offense, delay of game should be a free play for the defense with the chance to decline the penalty for the defense. You basically just gave prater a practice kick

Delay of game is a dead ball foul, offsides isn't

 

[NomarTyme]

Shows that freezing the kicker is garbage!

 

[whytemyke]

How on fucking earth does this game happen?

I don't fucking get it. How can our team be this shitty and yet still this good?! Why did we win and yet I'm completely infuriated?! I NEED TO START DRINKING RIGHT NOW.

Oh my god I'm so glad I'm not drinking right now.

Lions did not play well. But I mean, they're just absolutely dedicated by injuries too. So who knows.

 

[Plinko]

How many times have penalties bailed out the opposing team? Nice to see it go our way for once.

 

[Doorman]

Fuck this game. Just like offsides for the offense, delay of game should be a free play for the defense with the chance to decline the penalty for the defense. You basically just gave prater a practice kick

That works for offsides, but in the case of Delay of Game, it's a penalty that technically occurs before the ball is snapped. The play, for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist. Not all delay of game penalties occur with that split second before the snap, after all, so it can't be judged that way.

 

[CrankyJay]

Time to watch Boobie Dixon titty slap the Jests

 

[BronsonLee]

The Lions won with a delay of game penalty.

I wish I could quote this post forever.

Presnap. Doesn't make sense to decline as the play doesn't really exist.

 

[MechDX]

So when does the Kubiak Era in Atlanta start?

[eznark]

Roster is pretty fucking bad.

Soft fucking call.

Drafting Dez Southward aint gonna help that secondary.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

What the fuck this year. No lead is safe. I blame the Steelers. We set the stage by letting the Browns back in it in week 1 and now everyone thinks "if the Browns can do it, so can we."

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Kas will be insufferable

Until the playoffs when he's in the Offseason thread

 

[tmdorsey]

The Lions won with a delay of game penalty.

.

 

[Wynnebeck]

LOL I love Bill Murray.

 

[BravesCountry]

Didn't freeze the kicker.

 

[woodchuck]

No shit. I'm saying delay of game shouldn't be a dead ball foul

 

[NomarTyme]

Didn't freeze the kicker.

I know, it was sort of a freeze.

 

[Drakeon]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

 

[Heroman]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

The Falcons happened.

 

[NomarTyme]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

Coach Smith happened. Run the fucking ball motherfucker.

 

[Colasante]

I think it'd be understandable if the Falcons fired Mike Smith this offseason. I don't think it's necessary, but I'd understand it at this point.

 

[tmdorsey]

Roster is pretty fucking bad.

That's why firing Smith will do no good if we keep the GM.

 

[GraveRobberX]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

Crazy part is an Offensive Penalty helped the team...

 

[VRMN]

somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

That about sums it up, yes.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

It's OK, we all watched the second half and we also have no idea what happened.

 

[eznark]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

Falcons are a bottom five team in football. It's basically like being surprised when the Jaguars lose.

 

[Drakeon]

I think it'd be understandable if the Falcons fired Mike Smith this offseason. I don't think it's necessary, but I'd understand it at this point.

Oh theres no way he doesn't get fired after two awful seasons like this.

 

[squicken]

Stafford is so money in close games ... as long as the opponent has a losing record

 

[BronsonLee]

... What the fuck happened? I left for the second half and somehow the Lions won? What the fuck?!

Magic happened!

It's OK, we all watched the second half and we also have no idea what happened.

Absolute accuracy.

They should leave him in London

 

[Dr Prob]

I'd be really surprised if the Lions didn't win this game.

Well done.

Lol falcons need to stay in England

 

[Velcro Fly]

They should fire him right now. They could have knelt twice and pinned them inside the 20 and easily won the game. Even with giving up massive chunks of yards to Golden Tate immediately there just wouldn't be time. How the fuck are you still handing off with your garbage run game and then to fucking pass on 3rd down instead of taking 40 seconds off the clock. Falcons are worthless lol

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The lions might be good?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

They should leave him in London

:jnc

 

[VeryGooster]

Damn. Too bad Bears-Pats won't air here.

 

[Heroman]

They should leave him in London

along with the defense .

You missed one hell of a game....j/k
