Official Lions-Falcons Game Day thread

[Fritz]

Well, the Lions - in the first half - look like those same ol' Lions. Stafford's throws are all over the place, guys on the bench look dazed, and it was just a poor first half.

The injuries, too, are piling up. But that's something the Lions of the past few years haven't had to deal with. They've been remarkably injury-free up till this season.

Church couldn't get out soon enough. The lions are playing without all three TEs and Calvin Johnson!? The poor dears.

I'm hearing a buzzing sound from the crowd. It's low level, but if you listen closely, it is almost like snoring. Actually very much like snoring.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Stafford has a great throwing arm.

[smuggler]

Ryan hasn't had much success in the playoffs but he has an elite arm. He can make all the throws. He's a top 6 QB in the NFL today, imho.

Ryan's biggest weakness as a QB is his middling arm. His throws to the sideline are thusly susceptible. For a guy in pretty good shape, he also doesn't move very well.

Falcons are starting to look like the Falcons again/

[Harlan Huckleby]

Lions should be hurrying up. Even if they get TD, they could easily miss the 2-pt

[smuggler]

So 3rd and 10, with less than 2 mins left.... Falcons throw a pass - incomplete. Who is making these decisions??

[smuggler]

Game would be over right now if the idiot Falcons had rushed on 3rd down.

[denverYooper]

Stupid Falcons.

[denverYooper]

I hate this game. Lions get a delay of game penalty to save their own asses.

[smuggler]

And the Lions kicker misses from 43... Detroit fans are going to lynch him....

[smuggler]

What the fuuuuuuuck??

[pbmax]

Lions might want to consider replacing the long snapper and not the kicker from what I just saw.

Falcons just threw up on their shoes in the second half including D lineman holding. And a hold on the O line when trying to run clock. Miserable.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The good news is that the Falcons are on the Packers' schedule
