RISE UP!!

 

[redseat]

He was held. Too bad he couldn't hold on to the pass. Pure drop.

Threw off his timing badly

 

[Montalban]

Bwa ha ha ha ha! One and done candy-ass Rams.

 

[Upinthe North]

and if holding was called on Watkins... But let's be honest Cooper F'd the Rams.. Don't see why they kept him out there

the whole Rams team if you ask me.....they just didn't seem to care by the end - good job Falcons!!

Shoulda been a flag; shoulda been caught.

I agree they'll be back but don't agree with no one expecting them to be .500 or below. It was their division to lose from the start of the year.
Just had a bad showing tonight. I think whoever mentioned it earlier was spot on. Sitting everyone week 17 hurt them? Who knows? Hindsight and all.

BS.

Nobody expected a rookie HC to have that effect on a bad team last season.

Yeah they seemed like they thought they had the game in the bag

Atlanta is going to the NFC championship... Saints or Vikings will be a tall order though... I don't see how Philly wins without Wentz .... I won't ever say NEVER, but it's gonna be tough...

 

[Scooby-Doo]

That was holding.

A good receiver makes that catch regardless

 

[redseat]

Shoulda been a flag; shoulda been caught.

Yes he still should have but it did really affect the route and therefore the catch

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

How bumming are Carolina and New Orleans... “Fuck, we have to play Minnesota and not Nick Foles”

 

[Montalban]

the whole Rams team if you ask me.....they just didn't seem to care by the end - good job Falcons!!

49ers took all the fight out of them last week.

 

[DJ]

There will be changes. Lot of people need to be paid.

 

[bksballer89]

Hoping both home teams win tomorrow.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Why is Cooper still returning kicks?

He’s a pro-bowler

Agreed. I don't know why the refs let shit go at the end of the game. A hold after 58 minutes of play is a hold after 2 minutes of play. I don't like it but I sure am glad the Rams got whupped.

He was held. Too bad he couldn't hold on to the pass. Pure drop.

Not that it would've changed the outcome of this game but I'd be furious if I were a Rams fan. Too often in the NFL they call something 40 yards away that had no affect on the play. A call as obvious as this one in the EZ needs to be called.

 

[Upinthe North]

He was held. Too bad he couldn't hold on to the pass. Pure drop.

We would all be talking about what a phenomenal catch it was (after being held) had it gone the other way. Feel bad for Rams fans, but they (the Rams, not the fans) had a few chances this game to beat the Falcons.
