Interesting. It be nice to see Detroit win a game after they have come so close to winning in the past month or so.

[Purple Nurple]

I thought they just said the Falcons OC was named Turd Cutter.

[JO_75]

Damn, Detroit's secondary is garbage.

[gabefergy]

Gruden makes me want to throw up. I cant stand listening to him.

[ravens__]

Atlanta's playcalling legit makes me drool.

[JO_75]

It helps that Matt Ryan throws short passes that are easy to complete, you can get 21 straight passes easily.

[ratedr]

The fact that Flacco and Ryan used to be compared is just funny now. It's really not even close.

Yeah Ryan is awful.

Yeah Ryan is awful.
[/quote]Those 22 straight completions sure were terrible.

I was only half joking, but seriously half of his completions are behind the LoS. It doesn't hurt to have two #1 WRs and a competent OC either.

[JO_75]

The Lions do not want to win this game. With seven seconds left, the fact they didn't even try one shot at the end zone tells me they are already giving up and don't want to win this game. Obviously playing for a high draft pick at this point.

[ratedr]

The Falcons look like that team that's getting hot at the right time. Though they do have the easiest schedule in the league.

No they have been hot all year and haven't cooled off one bit. Trust me, they will once again fail to win a playoff game.

[/quote]No, they definitely stumbled a bit, but the games were against teams like the Cards, who can't win a game even when the opposition gives you 5 INTs. They're back in form now, and they're looking very good.

[gabefergy]

I still think Falcons will lose their first playoff game once again.

No, the definition of a team getting hot is the Giants, or Packers the past couple years. Teams who win games at the end of the season and pick things up right before the playoffs.

[/quote]Their first game will be against a team like Washington. I think they'll be fine. They will be lucky that they'll likely avoid San Francisco and Green Bay.

[/quote]Isn't that what the Falcons are doing? They've been winning but this is the first time they've looked this good on both sides of the ball.

Giants and Packers both loss a certain amount of games before winning the final two games of the season en route to the Super Bowl. That is a team getting hot.

[JO_75]

25 more yards for Calvin Johnson.

[Ed_Reed20]

Is Tony Gonzalez hurt?

[JO_75]

Only four more yards for Calvin Johnson, I can't think of anyone better to break Jerry Rice's record than Calvin.

[T3hRaven]

I find myself wondering how much better the Ravens offense would look with a guy like Megatron.

No, they will have a bye so a real contender will come in and beat them once again.

[atljbo]

Matt Ryan doing his thing

[hawkprey]

This game has probably the best receiver battle you could draw up.

[/quote]I will say that they are very one dimensional. They won't go far if they can't get their run game together.

I would still take SF over ATL all day.

[JO_75]

Calvin Johnson is in the Record Books! 1,871 single season receiving yards for Megatron!

[JO_75]

Best thing Jon Gruden ever said in his MNF commentary: "I wouldn't have a Twitter Account even if it was the last Twitter Account available".

[Purple Punishment]

Man Jon Gruden is really hating on Megatron and him setting the record. I think it's very unprofessional. Putting down that mans accomplishment and saying his yards are virtually meaningless. That's like saying a sack leader on a losing teams record could be meaningless because the defense probably plays more than a winning teams defense
