late hits and flops lameness spreading to atlanta

[rayzor]

just an idea of what to look for and expect when we play them this week.

apparently they pulled pages from the sean payton/gregg williams "how to coach your team to play like douches" playbook against green bay. probably will have more of the same for the panthers.

I liked Raji's comments. Bad teams do goofy poo like that to try and get a cheap edge.

the flopping is getting out of hand. I understand trying to "sell" a penalty when it is during play as in holding or pass interference. Honestly the refs don't call it all the time. But when it comes to these lame personal foul flops, it just disrespects the game.

I thought I was watching Duke basketball for a second yesterday when I saw that Jimmy Graham flop.

The tone is set by the (for now) division leader. The Taints have been playing dirty since Greg Williams took over their defense, and he's almost proud of it. They got away with so many cheap shots in that Minnesota play-off game a couple years ago, you'd think it was a real life version of Blood Bowl. They also got away with about 4 or 5 blatant holds against us yesterday.

I think the league should start penalizing the piss out of them, like they have done the Raiders for the past 10 years. But I doubt that will happen since it seems like the "Who Dat" nation gets special privileges.

The Graham flop was one of the worst I've ever seen in the NFL. It didn't work and on top of that he ends up looking like complete fool.

I assume you're talking about the field goal attempt we called the time out on.

If so, you're dead on. He deserves an emmy for that ridiculous bit of comedy acting.
