Na, those injuries really got to him. Kenny Britt might be available

If Kenny Britt is out there............

One was a recovered on side kick........and after some good throws to Gabriel and that catch by Julio he took a sack and put them out of field goal range....

I don't think that's fair to Joe, Joe isn't some decent QB. In the current version of the NFL, there are only 7 QB's that have won superbowls including Joe. Of those 7 5 of them won superbowl MVP including Joe.

I like Minter

His rating should be mid 80s to high 80s. 87 sounds about right to me. I quit playing Madden in 2016 for the time being. I got tired of the way they graded players and I did not want to go into every players individual stats and adjust them every time. Those patches they always put in the game always seemed to ruin a different aspect of the game.

mid 1st round pick....I am salivating already to see the draft..... I have my eye on Jabrill Peppers

Marshall PLEASE, PLEASE????

Considering how much we would have given him? I do not think so, Rice would never have been drafted and that was huge...Flacco was slower to develop thanks to a commitment to the run game and the defense which was a good idea. The worse our defense got throughout the years because of age the better Flacco was becoming and was expected to carry them going forward. The year we one our defense was nowhere near its best days, bc if it was we would have steamed through EVERYONE with the way Joe was playing lol. In my opinion the Falcons made an effort to build around Ryan, let's not forget he inherited a team with Roddy White who at the time was a big time player...they bring in Tony Gonzalez and Julio. That is INSANE to me when you match it to Boldin, Torrey, and Pitta. On ATL there are already 2 of those 3 guys going to HOF with White possibly being the odd man out but he was still a great talent. in 09 Roddy went for about 1300 yards and Tony was there pre-Julio with Mike Turner as your RB averaging 4.9 a carry. In 11 with Julio they got KILLED by the Giants in the wildcard round only putting up 2 points lol. I do not trust him yet, this year he came closer

a 40 yarder is much easier than a 50 yarder, theres no reason to make it harder and as you can see set them even passed those limits lol I am still in shock, but at the same time they decided to put the ball in Ryans hands....I have always been very critical of him because he came out of the draft with Flacco. Flacco is my guy, I know he isn't as pretty as other QB's, his inability to be consistent during the regular season for WHATEVER the reason kills me the same way I know it hurts you. Ryan with his cast of offensive weapons throughout the years has not been able to be as successful as Flacco with less. What I believe happened in that game was just that, they wanted to stay aggressive with who they deemed was the best player and their best shot to win which was Ryan in their eyes.... Ryan has not proven to me that he can do that, which is why you and I both agree they should have just ran the ball more.

you're right, it does keep the clock running...however it also put them out of field goal range. I do not disagree with you that Joe had tunnel vision, BUT, and there is a big BUT, there was no reason to pass on first. I like aggressive play calling but I felt it was not necessary. At least not on 1st down, a couple of runs to see how close you can get would have been much better. I get that this is all in hindsight though.

I looked at the game again, Ryan took and made some HORRIBLE decisions regardless of the play call. Remember when Flacco threw an INT vs the Eagles? Was it a good play call? No, but that throw he made was trash ...Ryan took some HORRIBLE sacks late game and had ample time to get rid of the ball.

it's kind of funny lol

chain moving, eating up clock, making a throw to get us in field goal range.... Ryan could not move the chains when they needed him to, it wasn't the fact he did not throw a TD.

it's simple, when you throw it make sure its a tough ball to come down with....he tends to catch those lol

That's what makes him weird, he has shown that he can make the big catch that separates him from everyone else on the roster. It's the easier stuff that he seems to have an issue with.

So you are going to casually ignore the throws he made to Boldin to move the chains and get us into field goal range after the defense collapsed? Or should I remind you what kind of defense the 49ers had?

We will see this year what he and the Cowboys 2nd rounder will do. Bc we got Stanley, Young, and Judon I can't really be upset lol...

not even close

YES

The difference between the Pats and everyone else is the fact they know what kind of team they are and what the strength is. They are the most consistent for this reason. Just because Blount was dynamic throughout the year it does not mean they were going to force him down the throats of ATL especially since the run game wasn't there for them. They moved the ball with ease in the first half but credit the the ATL defense coming up with 2 big stops. It seems like the coaches tried to out coach or out think Bill. That Pats could not stop the run game, the coaching was poor. I had the opportunity to meet Dan Campbell before he was the head coach of the Dolphins. Most of these coaches are there because of who they know, not because they can coach according to him. I managed to pick his brain a bit and it was very astonishing to hear directly what he thought was best for a team when he was clearly ignoring the strengths...

I did not understand the play calling, in my opinion he was not playing the way you had hoped to leave it in his hands. They should have stayed with the ground attack and run play action....give their defense a chance to rest a bit

I thought the game was pretty simple to me, the defense played well and aloud Ryan to do what a QB does which is take advantage of turnovers which to his credit he did. Once the Pats finally got some momentum, the Falcons rather than run the ball put it in Ryans hands to make some plays. Instead, it turned into a turnover which really isn't his fault and a MASSIVE sack that put them out of field goal range. Statistically, he played a great game....as the game continued and someone needed to come up big and make plays it happened less and less. You can not expect to shut down a Brady offense all game if you are not on the field enough to keep him off.

they decided to live and die at the hands of their MVP. Can't say I blame though, all though that sack he took really messed up everything. I was shocked by how many 3 and outs there were in the second half.

when it comes to Flacco, no regular season stat applies to him. We have the rarest of all QB's who only comes out in the playoffs....smh not saying I like it, but when have we ever seen a guy be completely 2 different people?
