NFC Championship: 49ers@Falcons

[Chinook]

This is obviously the game I'm less interested in this weekend, but I thought it was time to get a thread going. We'll see how real Atlanta is when they face a more experienced defense. I think San Francisco is the better team, but they put up too many bad games during the regular season to consider this a cakewalk. I'm hoping for a Har-bowl, so I'm picking the '9ers to not have a let down.

[Raven]

49ers the obviously better team, but if the falcons can get at least a decent offense going they will most likely pull it off. That's a big if though, the 49ers D is nasty.

[Ghazi]

Packers were an above average defense this year but agter the evisceration became a terrible defensive team. I expect an easy Niners victory and afterward the haters coming out and calling the falcons an overrated squad with putrid defense

[DeadlyDynasty]

It seems like everyone (media, writers, posters, etc) and their mothers think it's a forgone conclusion that the 49ers are going to win this game. Matt Ryan finally has the monkey off his back with that GW'ing drive, and he's one win away from the Superbowl--AND he gets to play it as 4.5 underdog in his own building. His o-line and running game showed up huge as well, with Turner rushing for 100 and the falcons gaining 167 on the ground overall at 6.4ypc. Ryan was never sacked either--all this against a Top-4 defense (best in points allowed). The ATL defense also has the luxury of playing another power run team with a mobile QB this week. Atlanta is literally playing with house money this week, and I love that at +4.5.

[InRareForm]

Falcons worst tackling team in the NFL and they are going up against an ELITE D. Things aren't looking good. At least they still have home field to help...

It is very enticing to bet a home dog +165 moneyline in this situation.

[DAF86]

Why are the Niners so favored when the Falcons are the ones with HCA and the better QB?

[Bill_Brasky]

Strahan, Jimmy, Howie, Terry all sporting some SB blingage

[timvp]

Go Niners Go, tbh.

[DPG21920]

Pocket passer TD

[Chinook]

The 49ers have to blitz. Even if they give up completions now, they need to hit Ryan early.

[tlongII]

Lol Niners.

[phxspurfan]

9ers in a rout

[timvp]

Bad start, IMO.

[resistanze]

:lol this D getting shredded

[Chinook]

I thought the fans were booing the security guard being hurt for a second.

[phxspurfan]

home security guard advantage = free timeouts

[phxspurfan]

I see Matt Ryan getting abused in this game if they cant run the ball

[chunticakes]

ryans been making some errant throws...wait for the pick 6....

[phxspurfan]

James, just kneel with the ball plz kthxbye

[DPG21920]

Det throw by Kap :wow . Lucky not to be picked

[thunderup]

Hoping for a Falcons win. They need a bigger lead here.

[Lincoln]

Lol

[Trill Clinton]

niners look rattled

[resistanze]

:lol They look horrendous when the red carpet isn't being rolled out for Kap

[thunderup]

Lol Kaepernick

[Chinook]

We're about the see if managing to hold Atlanta to a field goal helped get the 9ers' defense on track.

[DAF86]

This could get ugly in a hurry.

[DPG21920]

Big play ability is huge against defenses like SF. They are not amazing in coverage and ATL will take their shots. It looks like a week of tape on Kap has helped.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

This couldn't be better for Atlanta given how tired SF's D will be if they keep it up.

[thunderup]

Play action all day, eryyday.

[DAF86]

NFL "experts" are overrated, tbh.

[chunticakes]

this shit is getting ugly fast.

[thunderup]

Still waiting for the impending Matty Ice pick 6 though. Hopefully not in this drive, or this quarter or this half..

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I still say Atlanta can easily let San Fran back in the game if they're not careful. Matt Ryan can easily give it away.

[Lincoln]

What a fuckin beast

[Trill Clinton]

julio going to work!

[benefactor]

Right about dem Falcons so far.

[DPG21920]

So this is what happens when a team doesn't sleep on Kap. Interesting. What phenom throw and catch their. ATL has serious weapons and if Matt plays just decent they are tough to beat.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol Ghazi is about to lose his last team in our bet the way things are going

[chunticakes]

Still waiting for the impending Matty Ice pick 6 though. Hopefully not in this drive, or this quarter or this half..

this. he's been getting bailed out by catches like that though lol...

[Chinook]

San Francisco needs to score on the next drive. We know they can put up points, but young players tend not to do well when don't have momentum.

[Ghazi]

One drive at a time boys

[thunderup]

What a catch :wow

[thunderup]

Right about dem Falcons so far.
:tu

[DPG21920]

this. he's been getting bailed out by catches like that though lol...

lol what? He hit JJ in stride for the first TD and laid it down perfectly so JJ had a chance on the 2nd one. I hate MR but he's playing great right now and taking advantage of his protection in the pocket.

[Chinook]

It's looking a little better now. The Falcons seem content to let Gore get his if it means containing Kaep. That's a dangerous concession, if you ask me.

[DPG21920]

It's looking a little better now. The Falcons seem content to let Gore get his if it means containing Kaep. That's a dangerous concession, if you ask me.

Not when you are shredding a defense in the pass game and they have to outscore you by 17. Eat that clock up and no big deal.

[DPG21920]

San Francisco needs to score on the next drive. We know they can put up points, but young players tend not to do well when don't have momentum.

Good players do well when they need to. Wilson came from behind twice with zero momentum to win one and give his team a great shot at the other.

[tlongII]

Niners need a TD this drive or they're done.

[DPG21920]

Niners need a TD this drive or they're done.

Still too early to say that. ATL has shown they can give up points and stall out in a hurry. Issue is ATL studied film on Kap so no more surprises.

[DPG21920]

det clock management

[Chinook]

Not when you are shredding a defense in the pass game and they have to outscore you by 17. Eat that clock up and no big deal.

I think it's a bad idea because it will open up passing eventually. I don't think Ryan will pass like he has the whole game. I think the pass rush will get him eventually.

[thunderup]

There it is

[vander]

I was just wondering, did Kaepernick set an NFL QB rushing record last week?

[Chinook]

det clock management

Yeah, if Ryan's drives are quick passing drives, and SanFran's are running drives, I think it favors the 9ers in the long run.

[phxspurfan]

Yup, I would have done what James did there. Just outrun everybody for the score

[Chinook]

I was just wondering, did Kaepernick set an NFL QB rushing record last week?

Yes.

[chunticakes]

lol what? He hit JJ in stride for the first TD and laid it down perfectly so JJ had a chance on the 2nd one. I hate MR but he's playing great right now and taking advantage of his protection in the pocket.

told you.

[DPG21920]

told you.

You didn't tell me anything tbh..he had made good throws to JJ when you said that imovhimo

[phxspurfan]

BS ATL refs trying to stop Kapervick

[thunderup]

Big holding call there.

[thunderup]

BS ATL refs trying to stop Kapervick
Was a good call

[DPG21920]

Keep going to Davis tbh..

[phxspurfan]

designed runs like Taco Bell

[tlongII]

Funny looking slide.

[DPG21920]

Terrible call tbh..

[Cry Havoc]

That Kaepernick guy is kind of fast. :wow

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Avante
:lol Niners

[thunderup]

Dumb foul

[DPG21920]

Keep going to Davis tbh..

[Ghazi]

Kaepernick is just taking a hot steamy shit on DoK right now.

[Cry Havoc]

Damn dude was open!

[Cry Havoc]

Kaepernick is just taking a hot steamy shit on DoK right now.

He's the real deal, quite frankly. Good decision making, RG3 speed (just a notch under Vick tbh) and a cannon for an arm that's pretty damn accurate.

[Chinook]

This is why you can't let Gore go off. Now they're selling out to stop him and getting burned.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Davis wide open, Tebow could have made that throw, tbh..

[phxspurfan]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh7LwOqOcuY

[Brunodf]

That D:lmao

[Trill Clinton]

we got us a game folks

[DPG21920]

Keep going to Davis a wise man once said. How is he so open :lol? They aren't selling out to stop Gore at all, they are just blowing coverage.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol falcons shity coverage

[HarlemHeat37]

Harbaugh is calling a nice game, so far..

[thunderup]

Falcons needed a bigger lead here. The 49ers will win this game and be in the Super Bowl.

[DAF86]

Do the Falcons know who Vernon Davis is?

[DJ Mbenga]

a little early to start the choke?

[DPG21920]

Bump is prob going to have a field day with that penalty that ATL committed tbh.

[Ghazi]

:lol DPG after 2 drives, people have figured out the Niners offense!!!

:lmao wrng bout dem Niners.

[DPG21920]

It would be a Matt Ryan thing throw a pick here. Let's see if it's still the same old Ryan. Hopefully it is.

[DPG21920]

:lol DPG after 2 drives, people have figured out the Niners offense!!!

:lmao wrng bout dem Niners.

Huh? I was talking about him setting rushing records. Is he rushing like crazy? I missed about 15 minutes so I may have missed something.

[thunderup]

Matty Ice driving here.

[resistanze]

Clearly PI on Jones :lol

[Brunodf]

Matt Ryan is underrated tbh

[DPG21920]

How is Ryan doing this?

[thunderup]

How is Ryan doing this?
He's a great QB.

[tlongII]

Ice Ice Baby!

[DJ Mbenga]

they needed that.

[thunderup]

TD!

[DAF86]

I thought the Niners defense was supossed to be good.

[HarlemHeat37]

Damn, maybe Matt Ryan is finally moving up, tbh..

That was a must-score drive and response..

[thunderup]

That was a perfectly timed throw.

[Ghazi]

It's tough to defend an offense when they're executing well, even when you're the best defense in the NFL... still dunno why we seem incapable of generating pressure.

Oh well, still in a much better spot than we were a quarter ago.

[benefactor]

Wow...that was unexpected. Ryan shitting on his haters.

[phxspurfan]

Dirty birds overachieving in the 1st half

[thunderup]

Still the 2nd half coming.

[DPG21920]

Kap will have to make throws to guys who aren't wide open all day to win, can he do that consistently? Not sure. Ryan is throwing darts at the moment.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Kap will have to make throws to guys who aren't wide open all day to win

That's what I figured too, but the way Atlanta has been guarding Vernon Davis, I'm not so sure.

[phxspurfan]

Matty Ice has had all day to throw b/c ATL is going with 3WR sets to take Aldon Smith out of the game. 9ers should see this at the half and counter with some new schemes

[Raven]

still a wide open game... Ryan making great plays so far..

[Chinook]

Kap will have to make throws to guys who aren't wide open all day to win, can he do that consistently? Not sure. Ryan is throwing darts at the moment.

I'm not too sure about that. It the 49ers have to come back at the end, then probably. But right now, there are going to be a lot of holes open. If SanFran calls a good game, he probably won't have to do too much.

[DPG21920]

I'm not too sure about that. It the 49ers have to come back at the end, then probably. But right now, there are going to be a lot of holes open. If SanFran calls a good game, he probably won't have to do too much.

You may be right. Ryan (as you just saw in those replays) is making tight throws against a great defense. ATL has an awful defense and they might not be able to cover anyone. As long as Kap is decent they he should complete 65% of his passes and drive easily.

Look at that first throw - wide open :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol der go dat shity falcon coverage again

[Cry Havoc]

Niners starting to run over this Atlanta defense. Gore is the key, tbh.

[DPG21920]

That was a good throw by Kap.

[Cry Havoc]

That was a good throw by Kap.

His arm is focking impressive.

[DPG21920]

:lol ATL. :lol Hopefully blowing a good playoff game by Ryan.

[DJ Mbenga]

back to a no defense game

[Cry Havoc]

6 for the 9ers. Falcons falling apart two weeks in a row.

[Nathan89]

Falcons have no intentions to play defense for the rest of this game. First team to 45 wins.

[thunderup]

Falcons D shitting the bed per par .....

[Chinook]

I love seeing Smith working with Kaep on the sidelines. That's classy.

[Chinook]

That should've drawn a flag.

[Ghazi]

:lol at people hating on the Falcons defense.

There's not a defense in the league that can stop the Niners, except their own in an irrelevant hypothetical where the Niners could play themselves.

[Cry Havoc]

:lol at people hating on the Falcons defense.

There's not a defense in the league that can stop the Niners, except their own in an irrelevant hypothetical where the Niners could play themselves.

They fell apart against Seattle too.

[resistanze]

There it is!!!!

[benefactor]

There it is.

[Trill Clinton]

only a matter of time haha

[Cry Havoc]

Falcons have stopped talking shit on every play pretty fast. :lol

[thunderup]

There it is.

[chunticakes]

and there it is.

[Brunodf]

:lol:rollin:lobt2::lmao

[resistanze]

There it is!!!!


There it is.


There it is.


and there it is.

:lol

[Chinook]

It's going to be interesting if SanFran scores a touchdown here. I don't know if the Falcons can handle the pressure.

[Brunodf]

:flag:

[thunderup]

Davis wide open, again

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lmao this guy Nickolaus is fuckin awful

[resistanze]

Davis going BALLS DEEP.

[resistanze]

[jeebus]

[resistanze]

Akers is a piece of shit, wow

[Brunodf]

:lol That FG

[DAF86]

:lol Akers

[benefactor]

Bullet dodged.

[Lincoln]

Lol

[thunderup]

No good:lmao

[Chinook]

Getting no points hurts. That's a lot of pressure off Ryan.

[DAF86]

Offensive cordinator fucked that drive up witht that designed QB run, tbh.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol akers, use to be the best now one of the worst

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Offensive cordinator fucked that drive up witht that designed QB run, tbh.

Agreed. Idk why they aren't throwing it to Vernon Davis on every play.

[Ghazi]

He's been a weakness all year, it's actually the one weakness on our team (kicker)... but so help me god if something like that costs us the game..

[jeebus]

lol at the shot of Gaykers pondering suicide on the sideline

[thunderup]

Matty Ice

[resistanze]

WOW at that call.

[Raven]

wow, what a flag

[Floyd Pacquiao]

bailout call tbh

[benefactor]

Horrible call

[Cry Havoc]

If that was Durant he'd be ejected tbh

[leemajors]

lol what bad call

[Ghazi]

:Lol it's actually the right call... it's just the NFL protecting QBs instilling a retarded/pussified rule. I'll take it, they got lucky with the missed FG< we'll take a lucky break ourselves.

[Nathan89]

Affirmative action call tbh

[resistanze]

Damn, crabtree

[Trill Clinton]

wow wow wow

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Don't blame the refs for that call blame the NFL. It's one of the worst rules I've ever seen but it was called right.

[Chinook]

That throw was great.

[resistanze]

MY god...

[jeebus]

:lmao wtf?

[jeebus]

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

[Brunodf]

WTF! GREAT GAME!!

[Chinook]

49ers defense needs to come up big here.

[Ghazi]

turnovers and special teams gonna fuck us over again??

[Raven]

this year's playoffs are just gem after gem

[thunderup]

:lmao at the one yard line!

[Cry Havoc]

Both teams choking.

[Nathan89]

Wow:wow

[benefactor]

Huge play by the Falcons defense after getting bent over the counter repeatedly this game.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Crabtree was just sexually assaulted by Dunt'a Robinson on det one!

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao at the one yard line!

No. at the 1/10th yard line.

[DAF86]

Wow, great defensive play. Still a good position for the Niners. Supossed best defense in the league needs to step up.

[resistanze]

49ers need to stuff em here.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Safety upcoming here tbh.

[resistanze]

They should get great position.

[monosylab1k]

Maybe if Atlanta's punter wasn't so busy fondling his own ass pre-snap he could have focused on making a better kick.

[Bill_Brasky]

Niners have been dominating. Need a score here.


:lmao Tech WRs choking on clutch catches

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol Matt Ryan pulling a Leinart
:lol anyone thinking he's becoming an elite QB

[Ghazi]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES MOTEHRFUCER

[Cry Havoc]

Falcons getting exposed... very weak for an NFC Division winner tbh.

[Chinook]

Here we go. Ryan gets to make his mark here. If he's elite, he needs to get a touchdown now.

[Ghazi]

Falcons getting exposed... very weak for an NFC Division winner tbh.

:lol no, they're just playing the best team in football.

The fact that they're in this game and only down 4 shows they're somewhat legit.

[DAF86]

Does Gore get fined for using his socks like that?

[DJ Mbenga]

the media will never let the falcons off the hook if the choke continues

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Falcons getting exposed... very weak for an NFC Division winner tbh.

They're in the NFC championship and played the 49ers much better than Green Bay did. Idk how you can say they're weak.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Does anyone else find it remarkably easy to predict whether or not the Falcons are running or passing on every play?

[resistanze]

No one in the NFL would scare me as much at Patrick Willis charging at me.

[Lincoln]

I think ATL pulls this out.

[Lincoln]

LOL stopping on that route

[DJ Mbenga]

the nikka fell down!

[resistanze]

I still think it's a good catch

[jeebus]

I dunno about this one

[Brunodf]

Not good

[Warlord23]

Incomplete IMO

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

No one in the NFL would scare me as much at Patrick Willis charging at me.

Ray Lewis would more, seeing that he might be about to stab me.

[thunderup]

He dropped it

[resistanze]

Ray Lewis would more, seeing that he might be about to stab me.

:lol Non murderers excluded, tbh

[DAF86]

The call on the field will stand.

[Nathan89]

No catch.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Pretty borderline but imo it was an incompletion.

[DJ Mbenga]

tehre has to be enough to overturn. with that said i think you cant change it

[jeebus]

ohhhhhhhhhh burn

[monosylab1k]

Touches the ground but he has his hand underneath the entire time
