Matt Ryan told Todd Gurley not to score, on the final Falcons drive he scored a TD on.

Really amazing job of the Lions defender to fake the tackle like that and make Gurley lose track of where he was. Without that Gurley definitely gets down.

I was just about to say the same thing. Everyone wants to heap on Gurley but that was a smart defensive play. Basically let him build momentum trying to break the tackle and then let go; genius

I don’t know the entire game situation, so I have to ask.

Why didn’t the Falcons take a knee instead?

They needed the 1st down to keep the ball and run time off the clock.

It was 1st & goal with 1:12 seconds left, and the Lions had no timeouts...cardiac is right.  They could've just taken 2 kneel downs and then spike it on 3rd down with about 3 seconds left.  It's not all Gurley's fault here, blame everyone.

Gurley has intentionally not scored multiple times in his career to run the clock out for his team.  

He had a reason to score this time and that reason is essentially f**k the Falcons.

Check out the two plays starting at 5:15 of this video:

Lol.  I watched it live...  I mean, at least Gurley tried to stop himself, but you're telling a man to go against his natural instinct there...  and as soon as he crossed that goalline, I just knew they effed themselves, and they did lol.

That being said, I do expect them to play us tough tomorrow night and make the game much harder than it needs to be.

Gurley intentionally didn't score vs the Packers a few years back.... If it wasn't a one win team I bet you he doesn't have to second guess himself.

My bad.  Got that from Ryan telling Gurley to get the 1st down and then drop.  That being a 1st down play....some really dumb sh#t there Falcons.

No doubt.  I remember seeing Gurley give himself up on the sidelines when he was with the rams to keep the clock running when he could've scored.  He prolly didn't even need Ryan telling him that, he just got caught in a bad spot.  And as much as I like him as a NC guy, that's what you get playing for thr Failcons lol.

They made a similar dumb move like that in London in 2014.  It was the end of the game and they should have just run clock, but instead they threw a frickin WR screen to Julio that he dropped.  It was an incredibly bad decision and Stafford led them down the field and scored to end the game.

He did the same thing vs the Lions a few years ago as well (not score on purpose).

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
