Official Game Day Thread- Week 7....Falcons @ Pats

[Run DMC]

Time to stuff this going for it on 4th down BS.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

DONT GIVE UP THIS ****ING 4TH DOWN. EASY 3 POINTS IF YOU STOP THEM

 

[Gronk]

Close this 4th down out and my what a half for the D

 

[ALP]

if they go for it again here, its part of tehir game plan that they go for it on 4th around midfield...so expect to see it all game

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Stop 'em on D and then use the 2 minutes to score again

 

[sambam94]

huge play coming up...huge

 

[MoreBellhorn]

If they keep going for it, it's going to bite them in the ass. They're being far too aggressive.

I don’t understand how you even can hold as a defensive lineman. Why would you? Why would it be a foul? How is it conducive to your job to lock yourself to the other man? How is it hurting that other player? You’re basically doing their job for them.

The defender can be preventing a guard from pulling etc.

 

[primetime]

saw one in the giants game today too

Must be an emphasis this year or something

You know, all I’ve heard from Atlanta is how the SB blowout “isn’t on their minds at all” and isn’t important and yet I’ve seen multiple commercials specifically about that loss being motivation for them starring multiple Falcons now. Julio, Ryan...

You hold an OL in place he can't move to block another player

defensive holding traditionally was occasionally called if a dlineman held a pulling OL or held him to keep from getting to a 2nd level block.......this year they seem to be calling it willy nill anytime a defensive player uses their hands to even shed a block

 

[Betterthanmost]

Still can't believe they went for it on 4th and 7 at midfield, in a 0-0 game lmao

I knew they have been planning for this game since scheduled came out but I did not think they had lost their head in the process.

 

[festy1986]

If they go for it that's in bill

Falcons already showed willingness to go for it in 4th and long.

No need to give up that bug chunk of yards on 4th assuming they'd punt.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I find it hard to believe they will go for it.

Not if he is attempting to pull or get to the 2nd level. At that point you are impeding him.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Going for it here is statistically very stupid but sure, whatever, do it Quinn.

Yeah makes it much easier for us to get to 17 in a two minute drill, just gotta get the stop first

 

[juny]

F yes

 

[PatsFanInVa]

oopsie!

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

A+ first half for the D

If we can get this 17-0 it's over
