That pic is going to be one for the ages.

So i've missed most of the game, anyone got a summary of hwo things have gone? Brady looks off to me and blount ineffective.

50-10 isn't unthinkable. 

I mean if NE can score some points

My 50-10 prediction is actually looking good.

It's such a nice change to see the patriots sideline looking quiet and shell shocked

There really isn't anything the Pats have done well.  ST has been bad, Brady looks good at times but through a costly INT.  Run game is non-existant.  On D they can't really focus on stopping any one thing.

This is great.  The Patriots look like bufoons.  

But never count them out.  It's a plus that Falcons get the ball at half.  

Even if the Cheetahs manage to get moving and put some points up, they've still got to stop Julio, the running game and the other Falcons guys who can still make situational plays.

Falcons Defense pretty much dominating. Pressure on Brady with only four down lineman. They have rarely blitzed and have hit Brady a lot. Essentially, they are doing exactly what you need to beat Brady. 

Also two redzone turnovers by the Pats.

Josh Mcdaniels looks like he's been calling some bad plays liek that last one as well. Oh jeez and now lady gaga, what have I done to deserve this.

[JoeyFlex5]

I still think this will end up a close one. 

Maybe the power goes out?

I'm not sure how you can say that. 2 sacks , 6 QB hits and plenty of  hurries and they aren't bringing extra blitzers hardly ever.  So that's more people in coverage because the front four doing enough to allow that. 

A lot of that is because Brady is holding the ball longer than he normally does and that has a lot to do with the secondary sticking with receivers and taking away the primary read. Gives the linemen more time to get to the QB

The Patriots have called on a special secret weapon to get back in this game.

Falcons running game is clicking and Julio Jones has been making some pretty amazing catches. The Pats have been moving the ball but their drives are stalling when they get into Falcons territory. Brady's pick six really put you into the hole.

I think Brady looks pretty shook too. He's been bailed out after making some pretty errant throws (most of the calls were correct, but the actual passes were pretty off) and has Bennett of all people to thank for not throwing a second pick.

I guess Alfa is making a push into the American market?

Okay cool, I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, especially when it is about the Pats not being as good as I thought. I just don't want words put in my mouth.

Yeah the Falcons defense is playing lights out. Always liked Quinn but I didn't think he would be this good with the Falcons young talent. They are crushing it

No problem I'm just messing with you lol I didn't actually expect this to happen, dude I'm just super hyped at what I'm seeing right now. Quinn might be the next great NFL HC. IMO He's might be better than Carroll. 

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

If Seattle runs the stupid ball at the one yard line we are talking about Brady having more super bowl losses than wins.

DAMN YOU SEATTLE

I'm off to watch my grass grow. Let me know if I miss anything in the half-time show.

[jdynamite]

One half down. Get it done falcons I'm looking forward to a few of our board narratives changing.  

1) Falcons ruin their team with the Julio trade nonsense.  Which comes up in the #1 WR boards every time! 

2) Matt Ryan is just a regular season stat guy with no Ring. Which comes up in everyone Flacco thread ever. 

[PurpleCity5]

Funny thing is, if everything is set, that would mean the Patriots got crushed by a #24th ranked defense, remember how they were clowning Denver and their fans for losing to one of the greatest defenses ever?

He did great stuff in Florida and Seattle, I thought he would help the Falcons but what he has done with them in such short order is great stuff. That team used to have a terrible defense, not anymore

Having 7 in coverage and 4 down lineman rushing will do that.   

But if those 4 weren't doing their job, then we'd see those broke looking plays that happen to us  

 

Its not 6 rushing the passer and 5 covering man to man.

Man, can you believe that he's turned them around from a team on the down-fall to potentially a SB Champ in two years? I mean that's crazy.

Welp I guess the debate is settled... Brady is the goat... the scapegoat

[PurpleCity5]

Patriots are going to have to pass it more and more now, that's going to make Brady vulnerable to more hits and maybe even more picks. 

[hn68wb4]

I was sort of upset that Ray gave the Pats a pregame speech, but now I know the truth, he was cursing them. Lewis works in mysterious ways.

Guaranteed if they lose people will say Brady played great, it was everyone else that struggled. I don't know if i can handle analysts saying "he did all he could do, wasn't enough!!!!!"

True but we remember what happened in 2014 when a secondary doesn't do good. Our front 4 killed it but Brady got the ball out so quick it didn't matter. He can't do that now because the secondary is doing well.
