The Lions simply didn't take the turnover opportunities in the second half that were put on a plate for them. But there you go. you have to take those opportunities against the Saints

The Saints have so many options on offense it's unreal.
Calvin Johnson had some game,best receiver in the league.

Sproles has proven to be some signing for the saints.

Yeah I think that's why they will win the Super Bowl, I think having Sproles gives them a slight edge over the Packers.

Do the Saints travel to San Francisco now? If so, that's a tricky tie for them. San Fran would be exactly the dour sort that would give the Saints trouble.

So far so not far at all for both teams. Still think Falcons will get the edge but the crowd noise is deafening even from where I'm sitting

Mike Smith loves going on 4th and short but it wasn't going to work on the Giants. should have kicked

thejuice · January 08, 2012, 08:02:53 PM

Falcons have to get a TD on this drive or they can forget about this game. C'mon make it f**king happen!!!!

Carmen Stateside · January 08, 2012, 08:08:47 PM

To many penalties for the falcons.

AZOffaly · January 08, 2012, 08:09:33 PM

Why not kick a fieldgoal there? You'd be down by 5 with over a quarter left. That's crazy stuff.

Fairly paid for it now

thejuice · January 08, 2012, 08:13:15 PM

mike smith has some deluded ideas about what his O-line are capable of. seriously he cant f**king resist a 4th and 1 in every situation. the score could easily be 10-8 if he just kicked for FG.

And if you're going to go for it, use some imagination for christs sakes.

thejuice · January 08, 2012, 08:20:08 PM

Also Mike Mularkey our OC has to be given his P45. He has no imagination when calling plays.

Will Pittsburgh injuries effect the next one much?
Pittsburg -7.5.
