Antonio Brown's whole fucking act last night was incredible. Not only is dude a great receiver, than he fucking pulls a reverse-field end-around left-handed Vick flick TD out of his ass like it's nothing, THEN dude rolls into the post-game interview looking like Huggy Bear. Between him and the Rams special teams hijinks, I was fully reminded of why I love the NFL.

I'm just glad Joe Buck is off for baseball, where he belongs.

You take that back.

He's gotten a bit better, but just listen to how he calls one of, if not the, most exciting play of the last decade:

Yeah Buck is horrible and incredibly boring (even worse in baseball).

Speaking of the Rams punt returns and how awesome that return was, the Bears ran the exact same thing with Hester. Sure enough Buck was calling that too and couldn't have been more bored out of his mind, barely able to muster up "a total deke by Hester"....

oh hey, nfl football at 8:30am central tomorrow!

Heh, I like the East Coast bias admission there...

Anyway, Julio Jones is lucky they called PI there because he absolutely dogged it after that interception. And I did not like that penalty call on Ryan to offset the PI, either.

Julio absolutely dogged it on that play. A little part of me was proud to see Matt Ryan attempt a late tackle a bigger part of me is "why is it that your franchise QB is the one making that kind of play?". And why didn't Atlanta try to get at least into field goal range with 1:14 left in the half after the INT with three timeouts, especially knowing the Lions get the kickoff? They were moving the ball well too.

Wow.

That was a brutal meltdown. I feel for you, Falcons friends. Julio is the leading candidate for goat of the week.

Winning football games is fun! Im kinda upset we took that decade off from it.

I'm so pissed off at the Falcons right now; this is the team I grew up with. That second half was absolutely pathetic.

after watching that game the only thing i came away with is both teams are bad. who on earth was matt ryan throwing to on that pick? you dont make that throw to begin with, and the only person close was on the other team. that was terrible.

Hey, I will say this in defense of the Lions... 5 of their top 7 offensive targets didn't even play. (johnson, bush, ebron, pettigrew, and fauria)

if the lions were at full strength you gotta assume this game wouldnt have been close. their D looked awesome in the 2nd half, but i didnt see all of the first half where i guess they obviously werent as good.

The Falcons hopefully will be denied entry back into the United States. My God that is a fucking horrid football team with the worst coaches money can buy. That Dirk Koetter gets paid is an absolute fucking joke. A brain dead monkey could run a better offense.

That the NFL trotted that out is a fucking embarrassment. I hope the whole fucking staff including Dimitroff are fired on the plane home.

Gronk finally looks healthy. He hasn't been bowling over people like this since 2011.

2013 QB draft class is looking like it could be a washout:
--Manuel: benched
--Smith: benched
--Glennon: best option on a bad team
--Barkley: third stringer
--Nassib: backup
--Wilson: out of the league
--Jones: backup
--Sorenson: out of league
--Dysert: practice squad
--Daniels: practice squad
