NFC Championship Game: San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

[patsinthesnow]

I wonder if Gronk will be this good in the year 2027.

 

[VrabelJr]

This is what our offense looks like when Gronkowski is healthy. SF just can't consistently match up with Jones, White and Gonzalez. Kudos to Matt Ryan for making some great throws in tight windows and usually finding the open man. Very Brady-esque right now.

both these defenses suck

So the best defense in the NFL has given up 24 points, 17 first downs, and 297 yards of total yardage (271 yards passing) in the first half. :bricks:

As Andy would say, "welcome to the new NFL".

Gonzo the old G! The original gangsta! Lol

It is these kind of catches I will like to see Hernandez make when we really need it. That was a clutch catch by Gonzo.

29 seconds left ----take a knee

Side note... I find it funny how many analysts I have seen wearing purple today.

I thought it was just me. Glad someone else noticed.

I think it's a smart move. The 9ers get the ball to start the second half.

you guys are hilarious, from it being game over for SF to being game over for ATL


can we hold off the statements until the clock reads 0:00?

Gonzo is the obvious sentimental favourite, but I really wish players would talk about their retirement plans after their season was over.....I wonder why they do that. < sacarstic>

That was quite an entertaining first half!

Regarding Kaeperknick and his Bible verse tattoos. I think he should have gotten Leviticus 19:28 on his arm.

I'm just going off of the past two Super Bowls. We also lost to the 49ers earlier this year. The 49ers and the Giants both have tremendous pass rushers and that seems to be our weakness. I'm not saying I want the Patriots to lose, I am just stating what I think will happen.

I knew what you were saying. However, you still have to play the games. The Rams were supposed to blow the Patriots out in 2001. However, the Patriots came with a unique game plan and were able to win that game against all odds. Let's also not forget that the Patriots rallied back in the game that they lost earlier.

I guess what I am saying is that the games must be played. They are won or lost on the field of play. The Patriots still have to make it past Baltimore today anyway. We will just have to let the chips fall where they may.

FUN FACT: Did you know that the Patriots could have had Colin Kaepernick instead of Ras "IR" Dowling? True. Dowling was taken with the 33rd pick of that draft. Kaepernick was taken at pick #39. I think the 49ers are a lot less scary with Alex Smith at the helm. And we would have had the QB of the future lined up after Brady.

Oh well, WHAT IF, COULD HAVE been!

And he would have spent atleast 6 seasons on the bench. All the blowhards would have crucified Belichick for taking a QB from Nevada with the 1st pick in the 2nd round when he needed defense.

Very nice answer by Ryan & Co. BAM.

hey Rico, what does G.T. and the other initials mean in your sig?

 

[PatsBoy12]

TD Falcons!! BOTH of these teams are ALLERGIC to covering the tight end! I likes my chances with Hernandez. ^_^

Just imagine if Gronk were available. With that said however, the Patriots still have to make it past Baltimore.

Unless we held on to him for x amount of years for Brady to retire or another certain unmentionable situation - we'd never have known he was any good.

oh god, just 2 more hours till the main event. Now I am really getting nervous...

 

[PatsBoy12]

We are only one half away from our game!

Troy Brown said this week the Pats slogan on defense against the Ravens needs to be "GTFB -- get the bleep back." Talking about them deep balls Denver gave up.

Edit: I see - -line breaks in a bad spot so it's hard to see what I have written there. Will fix.
Edit: Fixed. I think.

Re: NFCCG Game Thread

They won't for long, saw it last week.

If you were talking Atlanta's D, you were right. Didn't take long for their fire to die down.
