No. It applies to them too. The niners came out of the outage with a fire under their butts. They played like a different team. 

 

Because while the falcons didn't get the ball until after halftime, we still had momentum on our side. We opened the half with a bang. Jacoby just returned it for a TD. The defense came up with a stop. Then the power goes out. And acted as a second halftime. We were hit, it destroyed our momentum. It provided more time for readjustments and the niners capitalized on the advantage. This game, time didn't stop for both teams for basically a a second half time

 

Really? Coming down from 25 is a huge chore. Props to the pats because they fought through until the end and readjusted accordingly but Atlanta crapped the bed HARD.

 

and I didn't blame Ryan at all. I've been defending the guy. He played great. I've made a few jokes at his expense but that's it

You say it also applies to the offense, yet when recalling that SB run you give the defense no credit based on how they played after the outage while giving flacco full credit based on how he played before the outage.

makes sense.....

My mistake for getting it wrong but they were still able to score coming out of the half. It took them a little bit but they still were able to score. Then it took the patriots six minuets to do anything, and then the falcons didn't do anything the rest of the game. 

 

So while it matters it's still not comprable. Not having the ball for a long time hurts, but the pats didn't get what was essentially a second half time to readjust their game plan. That time out gives the niners an advantage they otherwise don't have. 

Well the pats dont need it.

unlike the niners the pats have been dominating the league for a while now.

giving the pats to little credit if you think they needed an extra break like the niners tbh

Probably the same thing, but it failed, and then ngata got hurt and we couldn't stop the run at all. But both teams came out of the outage completely different while the offense for the Falcons started the half strong before sputtering out of control after.

Pretty sure they went 3 and out coming out of the break.

after watching our offense for years i guess you can consider that strong lol

You said that they didn't get the ball for an hour and a half during before the third quarter, when they opened up the half with a Tevin coleman TD? Sure? Patriots were able to respond with a TD of their own(and then shanked the extra point which is still hilarious) but the falcons in spite of that were still able to score a TD on offense. And then they do basically nothing for the rest of the game. 

 

And yet the defense reverted back to regular season form after the outage.

 

now granted, Ngata who was our best player that year went down mid game so I'll admit to being wrong, it's been a heavy night of drinking after a terrible game, I'm sorry. But the falcons opened the half with an offensive touchdown, even after not being on the field after 90 minuets. 

 

Still not comparable

so did flacco and that offense.

6 points after the outage.

that is not what you call bad to?

only a legit excuse for the offense apperently lol

This game there wasn't an interruption that was the equivalent of a second halftime. We still had the momentum from the previous Jacoby TD and pulled a stop on defense. Power goes out, the niners use the extra time to readjust their game plan further.

 

The delay makes this non-comparable. It provided the niners with a significant advantage. 

what where our coaches doing?

The defense during the sb we had was just.... bad lol. So bad that we've managed to field a better defense every year since then, including the year we had a losing season. Offensive momentum was stalled too, but as said previously, the outage messed up momentum on both sides of the ball.

 

Its not comparable. We had some accident stop play, and imo are lucky to have come out of that with a victory. The niners came out of the game with a fire under their butts and a whole new game plan. They essentially got a second halftime. So did we, but we didn't utilize it properly at all. 

 

This is a lot worse, which is a damn shame as I was rooting for Atlanta.

Pls stop.

held luck to 9 points.

Forced numerous turnovers against manning including 1 for a TD and the game clinching that set up the game winning FG.

kept brady to 13 points in NE including shutting him out in the 2nd half.

kept the niners to 6 points before the lights went out.

that is what you called bad?

what a joke lol

selective memory.

the 2012 play off defense was that much better then the regular season defense.

Just go look up how many sacks and to they had not to mention points allowed in the play offs up till the lights went out....

hope you did not forget that plenty of the broncos points came on special teams...

2 minutes ago, LosT_in_TranSlatioN said:

Nah, Matt Ryan didn't have the stupid power go out which robbed us of literally all the momentum on both sides of the ball. There's a legit excuse for that. The fact that we came out of that with a victory is just a total sigh of relief. All of us(along with most of the league) would have called foul play in all likelihood because that was super fishy....

 

this is in the other hand was fair sadly.

ow now all of sudden its a legit excuse?

i remember using that excuse to plea for the defense and even bringing up how bad the offense was as well after it happened and got scrutinized for it....

I think people quickly forget Joe only managed to lead the Ravens to 6 points in the second half of the Super Bowl and that the Ravens once led 28-6. In many ways, this was the Ravens Super Bowl without the magical stop at the end.

they did not forget.

different standards for Joe that is all.....

For the record, I don't think Ryan lost them that game. That was defense first and play calling second. I just don't think he done enough to win it either. Players safe, not scared, but safe.

quite curious on what you wanted him to do considering he pressured on most of his drop backs lol

They ran 5 times after the half, and had yet another nice run from Freeman in there.  Not every run is going to get you yards of course, but they had been running the ball real well up until that point.  The larger point here is the untimeliness of their choices not to run.  2nd and 1 when trying to run the clock and get at least a FG to try to put the game out of reach.

yup.

3rd and 1 they pass it which leads to a fumble a great field position for the pats.

then when in FG range pass it 3 times in a row which lead to first taking a 12 yard sack for a loss, followed by a holding pen taking them out of FG range followed by an incomplete pass lol.

Falcons got a head start on the new OC opening and apparently hired Trestman at half time.

they seem to be on the same page regarding what to do late in the game lol

sounds familiar

The Falcons blowing a 25 point lead isn't Ryan's fault..... But

 

Rings: 

 

Flacco:1

Ryan:0

 

Matt Ryan's Number is 2, Joe Flacco's number is 5. If you put two and five next to each other the number 25 is created. Joe Flacco has 1 super bowl ring. 25*1 is STILL 25....

 

The Falcons blew a 25 point lead. Never forget. 

take my upvote

wilson,tabor,fournette or cook if they are there or trade back a few spots to get peppers.

Should and is is a very different thing.  We did draft him to be that, but he isnt ready, but man, i hope he takes that step.  I think we see big things from Max this year if Pitta is gone. 

If he aint ready in his 3rd season then he probably wont ever be ready to be honest lol.

torrey smith if he is cheaper.

he is younger and brings the same as wallace to the table.

Perriman should be the #1 receiver since he was drafted to become just that.
time for maxx to show up as well.

just need to find a slot receiver who can do the dirty work over the middle since camp cant stay healthy.

Lolwut. The day the fans in this franchise get any power is the day that I will drive myself to the brink of insanity and have my girlfriend string me up like a heavy bag and beat me to death with her bare hands. You're blaming us now? Have you really run out of ideas? 

 

LMAO! I quit.....

Their might be a market for this.

We could get some funds that we could wire to flacco and perhaps he could consider to take less.

welp got my ticket for the ravens game.

quite excited to visit my first real NFL game and it being the ravens.

should be much better then the amsterdam admiral days lol

Wagner > Willaims

 

Period. 

 

Just look at our Depth. Would you rather play Sheldon Price and Carl Davis or James Hurst?

Hurst is a candidate for the RT position?

i'm excited we will be tied for 1st place entering the season.

Flacco should at least try to build some rapport with those 2 guys @ offseason.   To build on that we can draft a receiver and lineman @ draft im sure.   I have a feeling we will add another veteran FA WR in the market.   Not sure how our market caps are but I don't like the inclination that we don't do anything to help Flacco.

At some point, Flacco has to lead and get better this offseason.  Dont you agree?  

How about Matt Ryan turning a 8-8 season with the same crew to becoming a SB contender?    If Matt has the will to self-improve, Flacco can also.   I like to see Flacco bringing in Maxx & Perriman to his place instead of hanging out with Pitta all the time to get something going.

 

yup he has to get better.

but these guys also need to stay healthy though.
to much of a revolving door on the o-line and these skill positions seemed to be made of glass.
perriman , maxx and dixon have so much potential but if they keep missing time then well they will become a waste.

really hope we resign wagner and maybe get an upgrade at C/LG.

starts with the o-line.

if everyone is healthy there should be little excuse for not having a quality offense.

Yeah - you're probably right. That doesn't change the fact that we need to draft a future game changing CB.

In the 5 drafts since we selected Jimmy, we've taken a total of 4 CBs ... 2 4th rounders, a 5th rounder and a 7th rounder. That's beyond absurd. 

well i wanted marcus peters but to bad it did not happen lol.
wanted ramsey to but did not happen either.

young looks to be pretty darn good.
have high expectations for him.

its a deep CB class so we should land a solid CB in the 2nd or maybe 3rd.

depending on who is there when we pick i still prefer we take the best player rather then just draft for need.

Quite frankly after spending a 1st round on a LT , a 1st round on a WR and a 2nd round on a TE in the past 2 drafts , we might as well spend a 1st on a guy like fournette or cook as well lol.
Having all those high picks on offense should at some point lead to some results.

28 is also not considered young in the NFL, especially at the safety position.

The idea is to get significantly younger, not to sign a player who costs more and is only two years younger. All that means is you've delayed yet another problem by about two years.

Again, all moot, because we couldn't afford him, probably wouldn't want to afford him, nor do I expect him to even be available to sign.

28 is younger then 32 and 31.

so when you replace a 32 or a 31 year old with a 28 year old player you are in fact getting younger and not older like you previously stated.

No way we could afford both, nor do I think Berry would be even available.

Also would think we would emphasize getting younger at safety, not older.

No - I would love elite talent all around Joe and at every position on this team. 

We've gone on the cheap on drafting CB for years and we better get someone that can come in and help NOW. If we can get that in the 2nd, great, but if a game changing CB is available in the 1st, I want us to take him. I'm not a talent evaluator, so perhaps such a CB doesn't exist and perhaps BPA will end up being one of these RBs should they drop. 

If that is the case, then God help him if we don't improve our O line this offseason (no matter how elite he is) and God help the team if that RB gets us a 4th quarter lead with the opposition having a minute left on the clock and a couple TOs. 

 

Few rookie CBs are game changers in their first year.

Usually takes them a season or 2 to adjust to the NFL.

We should certainly try to get a good 1 in the first 3 rounds of the draft but you might wanna lower expectations if you expect him to come in and be a game changer right away.

Go whoever wins the NFC.
