I'm hoping!

Thomkal · 01-03-2009, 06:28 PM

Shush you.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-03-2009, 06:37 PM

That needs to be the final play of Brooking's career with the Falcons. He's been an overrated disappointment from day one in the NFL and that's not easy for me to say since he's a Tech guy.

Alan T · 01-03-2009, 06:39 PM

Well, a little disappointed that the Falcons won't be winning this one. I feel partially that we were "playing on house money" so to speak though, as we went much further then I expected to start the season.

Looking at this team, I don't feel this was a last chance to win, but instead a start of something big. I hope next year that Atlanta can address some huge holes in the defense and build upon this season rather than just take a big step back as they have always done in the past.

RedKingGold · 01-03-2009, 06:39 PM

Congrats Cards.

Let's hope so. Congrats, Cards. Y'all just plain wanted it more.

I agree with you actually Alan, I worry a bit about a sophomore slump from Ryan after these last two games he played, but overall there is miles and miles more of hope and good news in Atlanta than there has been for a while. They had an incredible season though and they should be proud of that.

I do think ATL will struggle next season. Ryan will improve, but this is the most carriers in Turners career, and I cannot help but wonder how he'll hold up next year.

If Turner goes down, this team is going tp be in deep trouble.

Now on the flipside, if Turner stays healthy and Ryan developes as he should, they'll be a contender in the South.

Still, those could be two big if's.

Thomkal · 01-03-2009, 06:55 PM

Oh and Go Cards! What a reilef to get that playoff monkey off their backs. Their defense is still going to be their downfall in the playoffs, but if they can keep that running game going it may not matter too much.

Now I'm pulling for the Eagles to win tomorrow so the Cards get Carolina instead of the Giants. Yeah the Panthers have beaten them 5 straight times, including this season, but it was the closest game the Cards had against an East Coast team, and the weather should be a lot nicer than in likely will be in NY. And the Panthers don't scare me as much as the Giants do overall.

MrDNA · 01-03-2009, 07:07 PM

Congrats Thomkal and the Cards!

Congrats Thomkal.

What a great year it's been for you between the Cards and Thigpen.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 09:07 PM

I have no idea who San Diego's punter is, but he's doing a damn fine job.

Buccaneer · 01-03-2009, 09:07 PM

Congrats to the Cardinals, very happy to see Kurt win in the playoffs again. I love the Falcons too and I think they will be a good team for a while and look forward to them being in the playoffs.

Thanks Izulde. Certainly the most interest I've had in an NFL season ever.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 09:07 PM

LOL! Peyton just caught the SD defense totally off guard.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 09:20 PM

Such a great drive by the Chargers there ruined by that fumble. Rivers and Sproles are shredding the Colts D. This game is heading for a Peyton Manning last minute drive for the win or a Nate Kaeding choke job.

SirFozzie · 01-03-2009, 09:36 PM

Wow. Huge plays by Rivers, two good (run for 16, QB Sneak on 4th and inches), then one bad (horrible throw, intercepted in the end zone)

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 09:36 PM

And another terrible turnover for the Chargers. Two great chances to at least tie and no points. Rivers had a sick 3rd down run and Norv pulled out all the stops on that 4th down, but just a terrible throw by Rivers after that.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 09:52 PM

I didn't even know Michael Bennett was still in the league! Great effort there to plow through 3 Colts for the 1st.

Racer · 01-03-2009, 09:59 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a punter have a better game then the Chargers punter.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:01 PM

Manning's down! Chargers still have a chance.

Radii · 01-03-2009, 10:02 PM

what a 3rd down play, wow.

No kidding, give the kid player of the game.

Really interesting finish here.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:04 PM

They shouldn't take the safety up by only 3. It would be too easy for SD to drive for the GW FG.

Calis · 01-03-2009, 10:05 PM

Turning into a punter duel here!

DeToxRox · 01-03-2009, 10:05 PM

Why Indy went 5 wide is beyond me. Run a PA Bootleg or something.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:06 PM

I said the game would come down to a Manning comeback or a Kaeding choke job. Get ready for Kaeding wide right!

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:07 PM

No need to spike it! Run a damn play. Now you only have 2 downs to get the 1st.

Noop · 01-03-2009, 10:07 PM

This game is tense.

Yes, it is. Very entertaining. I hate to see Norv get any positive credit, but for some reason I'm rooting for the Chargers.

Edit: I think that is part of it. Sproles is so much fun to watch.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:08 PM

Just short. Gotta kick the FG now. No way Kaeding can miss from this close.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:10 PM

What a great 1st round game. OT may come down to the coin flip like usual.

rowech · 01-03-2009, 10:16 PM

SD didn't play to win the game.....Herm Edwards would be disappointed. Time will tell if that was the right move to go for the win a little more.

Noop · 01-03-2009, 10:19 PM

Someone should have told Peyton tails never fails.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-03-2009, 10:20 PM

Did Phillip Rivers just say "game over?"

Izulde · 01-03-2009, 10:22 PM

I don't have a horse in this race, but man I love watching Sproles play.

Exactly what I was thinking. They didn't play to win there at the end of regulation. I cannot believe they spiked it with a minute left.

RendeR · 01-03-2009, 10:31 PM

San Diego showing a lot of Heart and a lot of mistakes in this game. give them props for Sproles and the Punter being on freaking fire.

All said and done the Colts won a title already, I'll root for the Chargers to stay alive for a shot.

Galaxy · 01-03-2009, 10:32 PM

Man, Indy just keeps giving SD life.

Jas_lov · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

LOL! Colts D coming apart here with penalties. Best chance is to hold them here and hope Kaeding chokes.

Calis · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Giving the game away now.

RendeR · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Colts 'D' kciking themselves right in the nads here....

Galaxy · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Didn't the Chargers player have his facemask as well?

stevew · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Bad no call on the grounding.

Game over now

Eaglesfan27 · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Jennings acting like an idiot.

sabotai · 01-03-2009, 10:33 PM

2 Def. holding calls on the drive. The Colts defense is just handing the game to the Chargers. And just as I type this, a 15 yard facemask penalty.

RendeR · 01-03-2009, 10:34 PM

SPROLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
