They have a habit of doing this. They seem to subscribe to the notion that it's better to get the points on the board as rapidly as possible instead of taking a deep breath and controlling the tempo of the game. They act like a nervous teenage boy who's afraid of spurting before he gets in the girl, so he shoves it in as quickly as possible instead of taking his time with the foreplay. Then the girl kicks out of bed in disgust, ushers him to the door, and never answers his phone calls again.

Ummmm we sacked Ryan more in that game than he has been sacked in the previous 4 games, So the sack thing is wrong.

I'm just going to tip my hat to the Falcons because they did what good teams do and that is they do just enough to win.

Btw I just want to say this off topic, I am glad we played the Bills early in the year and not now. The Bills have played since week 7 alot of good teams. They lost to 8-3 Ravens 37-34, lost to 7-4 Chiefs 13-10, Lost to 8-3 Bears 22-19 and just last week lost to 8-3 Steelers 19-16. It must be tough to be a Bills fan. Just something I found interesting that the Bills also have lost 4 games by 3 points but against all division leaders.

We ran 5 minutes off the clock...I was actually impressed at that. Still could have done more than that. Oh wait, we can't run the ball so no we couldn't.

That drive was executed very well.

---

We did score too early. But I put that on the defense, not the offense.

---

A running game would slow it down.

I thought the pressure was okay. I think the Falcons did a great job of neutralizing Clay Matthews. The Packers are arguably the best defense in football, when Matthews is running on full.

He wasn't against Atlanta and Tyson Clabo is a reason why. He did a great job on him and the Falcons did a nice job game planning around him.

First off, I think this QB talk has hijacked a thread with a subject bemoaning our Special Teams.

So, I continue off topic with aadp's quote above. It seems everytime Dom decides to drop back in coverage (i.e. both Minny games last year) we suck and lose games. I liked some of the early pressure we put on ATL but we didn't seem to follow through. Whereas, I think that ATL was effective at getting pressure because they didn't have to respect the run (we had none).

Anyone else see this happening?

Bottom Line for all this, to me, is that despite our great efforts and a brilliant drive at the end of the game, we were still outplayed. We also didn't seem to play our best ball. Upshot is that if we played well in all aspects (run, pass, D, ST, etc) we would have won. We're a great team when we fire on all cylinders. This Sunday, we didn't. And we were still darned good. Almost good enough.

---

One thing to note is they lost 3 special teamers all pretty early on. I'm sure that hurt a bit to have less experienced guys in there.

"Fucking Special Teams."

Now there is an insight I could get from any drunk fan at the game, or in any sports bar.

A Brilliant and educational point topped off with remarkable insight..

Thank you for that.


You made me a wiser and more knowlegeable football fan.
