Atlanta all the way!

I don’t mind rooting for Lawyer Milloy too.

That catch was just sick

…and i was thinking the real game was going to be Colts – Chargers

Keep the faith!

Cards D is hot, doesn't look like the same unit

How could the refs miss that Cards offside?

The Falcons look really PO nervous

by bartHML on Jan 3, 2009 5:01 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Cards are playing strong D

True

Although I think the Falcons had a 1st down

Milloy gets burned

Interesting defensive call

matching him up with Boldin

It looked to be zone and Falcons loaded the box thinking it was a run

I couldn't get a second look on it

On the other side, Arizona is putting a lot of pressure on Ryan

by bartHML on Jan 3, 2009 5:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

We were saying the same thing

Ryan needs to mix up the count

#92 in particular

Both scoring drives were very well-designed

Threw it on the back shoulder. Bouncing balls are the worst

Yep

That was strange

Starting both halves with a turnover

can be costly at the end of the game

Cards appear to be taking this game

This does not look like the same Cards we played

Blogger at SBNation's New England Patriots blog, Pats Pulpit

I wonder whether the Cards D-Line is playing very well or the Falcons O-Line very poor

This game is not over. 4 mins left with a 6 pt difference

Giving up a 3&16 in this situation is simply inexcusable

What the hell did the LBs do?

Yup, they seriously blew that one

Bolts pass coverage has been good which is surprising

They usually suck

Sproles has been HUGE in this game

It is an interesting question whether he could be an every down back

If they call this running play instead of the pass, they could have gone for the win
