San Fransisco 49ers vs Atlanta Falcons Gameday Thread

[FootballMaestro]

colin kaepernick is 25 years old , who knew :phew:

So he's basically a rookie (though he's a second year player). Plus he's 25 yrs old. But some people want to talk about him, like he's the second coming after starting 9 games now, with a team stacked with good coaches, Defense, Offensive lineman, good backs, Receivers and scheme?????????

Hmmmmh. Rivera, Shula and Cam, need to get their swerve/swag on next season, and reclaim the spot light and ascend up the standings (especially with the Dirty Birds crying over being shot down in their own Stadium).

That stadium cleared out quick.

They are who we thought they were

[IamSoClutch]

LMAO this is perfect!!!!!

I'm feeling the Northern California/Stanford spirit at the moment.

So, can the Panther drive a Brinks truck over to David Shaw's house and dump all it's contents on his lawn, so he can forego his new Stanford contract and come to Carolina!!??

Come on JR, you can do it. LOL

[ThunderKatt]

Falcons gtfo your own field. Lol

Wow!!

Who would have thunk it at the beginning of the season that the first 'Read Option/Dual Threat QB' to make the Super Bowl in 2013 would be Colin Kaepernick (despite the fact they're a good team)???

And once again, the dirty birds proved, their not SB worthy, giving up such a big lead to a 2nd year QB (almost a rookie, really) at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just goes to show you what good coaching and a front office can do???????

You have to admit those dirty birds got some weapons beside the fact they have a noodle arm of a QB. The dude work so hard to get the ball 20 yards down field.

Looked like an obvious pass interference at the end of the game but the refs are slow to make calls late in games. A pass over the middle in that situation is too risky, imo.

Yes, they do have talent and a bunch of weapons. But they're defense is not tough enough to stop physical or elusive teams up front. And Matty Ice can get flustered (and throw picks) with QB pressure.

This should of happened last week! Im still mad they got a playoff win lol. Ill celebrate tonight those fuggers are going home!

I think those read option teams are like Jordan, they get down then the obliterate the opponent. They're too confident sometimes. Although the 49ers were down by 17 nothing in me says they would lose. That's the Jordan syndrome with those read option teams. they can score in bunch.

At the time I said it was a good trade, and I stand by it now... When you are a team who wins like the Falcons (In the regular season) you don't get chance to change top game changers in a draft like Julio Jones... He will also be a career falcon and give them a playmaker for years with Ryan..

Essentially they drafted him with their 27th draft pick... To make it happen they gave up a late 2nd, and two late 4th round pick... Those are blah.. and they gave up a late 1st round pick which is really the quality pick they gave up to make this happen... I'm okay with two late first for one of the biggest game changers at the WR position.

The Vikings probably thought they were one player away when they traded for Herschel Walker as well.

For one player at the #5 spot 2 Number 1s, a 2nd and 2 4ths is too much to give up.

Especially if it's a douche wide out. That's 5 talented low priced young players for one wide out on your roster.

Ahmad Brooks game MVP IMHO

Yeah, it's like a ticking time bomb, cause the Defense has to always be prepared for the QB to run.

So as long as they can pass and run the ball well with the RB's, like you alluded to, they're just a ticking time bomb to score.

That was Cam and the offense in 2011 (actually Panthers were more explosive), before Chud Fugged it up the first half of 2012.
