Wow

 

[ActStriker]

what a catch

 

[TheLegendary]

I've read theories that good teams should trade up and get impact talent b/c they already have starters that would be hard to displace. Close playoff games hinge on one or two plays, and more physically gifted players are more likely to make those plays that you need.

Ted clearly drafts for sustainability, and you guys won a SB, so you can't argue with it.

Yep. But I'd actually argue ted subscribes to that theory too. I think he's recognized that now that the general talent pool on our team is pretty good (thanks to his approach in years past), he has taken those chances recently on guys he believes in. Casey Hayward has been an impact player this year, for example. And Matthews being the obvious draft pick to point to.

 

[squicken]

not dogging ryan but his WRs are great at catching passes well off their frame. slow their gait to catch everything in stride

 

[PhoenixDark]

Nice play by Green there

 

[JCizzle]

ATL waking up and going for the throat. This worries me moving forward.

 

[eznark]

Few terrible deep balls and Konz is getting abused.

 

[The Frankman]

A little pressure on Ryan doing wonders for Detroit.

 

[Doorman]

So Atlanta leads...and abandons the running game? Not that I think the Lions secondary isn't something to victimize, but a little bit of variety throws us off our game pretty quickly.

 

[Kastrioti]

Huge 3rd down stop by the defense.

Disgraceful showing by the fans. If it were Seattle every fan in the stadium would be on there feet not sitting like Detroit fans just did.

 

[Buckethead]

Matt Ryan is a pussy, Suh barely touches him and he Cutlers to the ground

 

[RellyRell28]

Greatness is on the phone right now

<3 Jerry. Such a great dude but I didn't even realize Megatron has potential to get 2,000 yards this season until he mentioned it.

 

[Doorman]

It's not being a pussy, it's smart play. If anybody makes it look like they go down hard against Suh, they have a pretty good chance of getting some sort of personal foul flag against him for it.

 

[BlackGhost]

Lions fans are so lucky to have a player like Calvin

You give that gumpy farmer too much credit. He does that no matter who touches him.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Will they have an in-game ceremony for Johnson?

 

[mr2xxx]

25 to go

 

[RellyRell28]

25 more yards to go

 

[JABEE]

Megatron is a beast

 

[Kastrioti]

Stafford slinging that fucking ball. ThatsmyQBTO.jpg

 

[The Frankman]

Stafford is so locked on Megatron he's going to get his other guys killed. He's had Scheffler open on a few plays and ignored him, yet throws a 2-yards pass that nearly gets Scheff killed.

Also Megatron is good.

 

[squicken]

Bradford sucks

Megatron is 15 yards downfield before Brandon Gibson gets out of the jam

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I seriously wonder the percentage of our runs that are shotgun draws

 

[mr2xxx]

A sconi in Lions garb

 

[Kastrioti]

Stafford is so locked on Megatron he's going to get his other guys killed. He's had Scheffler open on a few plays and ignored him, yet throws a 2-yards pass that nearly gets Scheff killed.

Also Megatron is good.

Our #2, #3, #4 WR plus our #1 TE our out so he doesn't have much of a choice.

Also #71 DE for the Falcons was so offsides there.

I seriously wonder the percentage of our runs that are shotgun draws

Honestly from observation at least 80% and its one of the major reasons our run game sucks.

 

[eznark]

Good to see the Falcons apply the heat and get that bye.

How you feeling?

 

[JABEE]

Will they have an in-game ceremony for Johnson?

Only for Brees.

 

[Starphoenix]

Atlanta Falcons are always there when records are broken. Too bad they cannot break any themselves.

 

[Coldnoodle]

HERE WE GO

 

[The Frankman]

Why are they not doubling/tripling Megatron?

 

[ActStriker]

4 to go!

 

[RellyRell28]

They should get the record on a TD. It would be the second time ATL got a record broken against them on MNF by a TD

 

[Brinbe]

Failcons

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Lions are still in this?

 

[PhoenixDark]

Amazing play from LeShoure, great composure from Stafford

 

[zero_suit]

History will be made!!

 

[JABEE]

I'm calling it. Megatron TD to break the record.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

We didn't lay down and die. I'm happy with that.

 

[beast786]

a life

 

[The Frankman]

Just put a Triangle on Megatron. Dare everyone else to beat you. Use the Triforce.

 

[sweetvar26]

Almost, 4 to go.

 

[KingItachi]

Lions are still in this?

Yup if they score we will have a game on our hands.

 

[Doorman]

Even Leshoure is starting to make a few moves. It's kind of weird seeing the energy in the stadium suddenly start to come alive like this. Jaded as I am about the team, even I'm feeling excited at the prospect of seeing Calvin make a mark here.

 

[squicken]

can they jam him like a punt gunner? keep a safety over the top? dare them to run it

 

[JCizzle]

Go for 2k yards in this game.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Calvin such a nice soft spoken guy. Doesn't Optimus Prime fit him better than Megatron?

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Megatron is too good.

 

[TheLegendary]

They should get the record on a TD. It would be the second time ATL got a record broken against them on MNF by a TD

DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Yup really happy with that.
