Monday Night Football: Atlanta Falcons @ San Francisco 49ers

Come on, at least get a FG to close the half ffs.

Looks like his helmet hits his facemask to me. I don't like these new rules, but they call that every time now.

And with all of them called this year on Seattle I'd bet you thought all of those were good calls right?

 

[WizardHawk]

How awesome would the game next week between SF and Zona be if Atlanta can pull this game off?

There are going to be some crazy good games to decide the playoff lives of teams all over the league. Hell, Seattle could go either home field advantage or wildcard in one game. Just a crazy season.

Legal

i agree. what were the two penalties called on that play?

 

[Itsmytime]

LOL stone hands

 

[gohusk]

Wow. Huge drop there.

 

[gohusk]

What a dumb penalty.

 

[Logicallylethal]

NFL has gone soft on us with all these penalties on what used to be legal hits. I can somewhat understand the helmet to helmet but these guys are lowering the shoulder and refs are just throwing flags because of the impact.

Kam has been penalized a few times lowering the shoulders this year. I approve of the Falcons td but the flags eh

 

[gohusk]

Are you kidding me? What's the justification for picking up that flag? He shoved him down.

 

[Golden Spur]

Damn. 10-3.

 

[WizardHawk]

At least they are up, but you gotta feel like SF is going to bust out and run away with this in the 4th

 

[Podunkparte]

Atlanta hangin tough. Thats as good a half as I could have hoped for

 

[Mr. Tacoma]

Here's the hit.

What in the hell happened to football? No way you flag that.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Damn. 10-3.

BOORAH TO THE OREGON STATE BOYZ TONITE YOU "CHERRIEZ"!

Offense will be issued skirts next season.

Here's the hit.

Now that is a terrible call, no matter who you root for. Honestly, the league has taken this miles too far and are ruining the game. The guy targeted the mid-section like he was supposed to. The only thing he could have maybe done more was wrapped the arms but really, that is nitpicking. Even the helmet to helmet isn't really there. Hell, the receiver lowered his head to even get the chin strap to the back of the helmet near the tacklers neck. The pussification of the league is revolting.

I'll change my avatar to a Falcons logo for a week if they win.

Offense will be issued skirts next season.

He led with his frickin' shoulder and he didn't even hit him that hard! Football just is gonna be a big tickling competition if it keeps going like this.
