Fukn can't wait until we get a chance to put Mike Smith in his grave.
It'll make the inevitable choke job that much sweeter. Kinda like the Vikings when they don't suck.quote:What a goddamn joke. Lions living a charmed life

When was that
Why on earth did Atlanta call a timeout with 25 seconds left to stop the clock and allow Detroit to run another play?
Wasn't that the holding penalty that automatically stops the clock?quote:Why on earth did Atlanta call a timeout with 25 seconds left to stop the clock and allow Detroit to run another play?
They had the #2 seed in 2009 and blew the NFCCG in epic fashion.quote:When was that

won't get the chance. he should be fired on his way home tonight.
Ridiculous. Lions get another gift... Matt Ryan with the worst INT I've seen in awhile... Lions get awarded at the end of the game on the penalty/missed kick.
Atl that was the worst debacle I just can't believe they lost that game fire that coach wow
Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
Falcon choke should help increase the urgency for the Packers tonight. Let's hope they respond.
Falcons were one of the bigger frauds the last few years. Time for that team to start over because they aren't doing a thing.
Julio Jones should get them over the hump. Sad sack organization.

Ryan's awful pick.
Offensive holding on the last drive stopped the clock.
Jones drop on 3rd down stopped the clock.
Atlanta playing a prevent allowing Detroit to go 50 yards in 2 plays in 25 seconds.
Mike Smith inexcusably calling a TO with 25 seconds left.
Defensive holding stops the clock and gives Detroit 5 free yards.
It took a Herculean effort by Atlanta to give that game away. And even that wasn't enough. It took a Detroit play clock fail to pull that one out.
WK17 vs. DET will be for the DIV and possibly for playoff birth.
Packers should have the division sewn up by week #17
Week #17 will be a "pre-season" game & completely unnecessary like a lot of week #17 games
Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the Falcons.
Wait...............

Yes. Nobody should overlook that bit of stupidity.
Passing to Jones on 3d down might have been worse. Run the ball, pin them deep with the punt, take 40 seconds off the clock. You can always take the delay of game to get five more yards to punt.

This holding call is what killed them. From the CBS game thread
| 3-9-ATL30 | (:24) J.Bell left guard to ATL 29 for 1 yard (J.Bartu). PENALTY on ATL-P.Soliai, Defensive Holding, 5 yards, enforced at ATL 29. |
When I saw Detroit running and 3rd and 9 with NO TIMEOUTS I couldn't believe it. They burned their last TO the first play after the 2:00 warning. I suppose they had time to rush the FG unit on the field, but that 3rd down rush ended with :17 left to go. Would have taken an incredible job by the Det special teams to get set up for that kick. That holding called saved Detroit big time.
I thought finding a head coach more clueless than Caldwell would be impossible. It actually wasn't that hard.
I'm not worried about the Lions.
They've got losses in their future.
I agree with Boris. We'll have the division clinched by week 17, BUT may be fighting for home field advantage...
Just watched the recording of the ATL. DET. game. Wow! Ryan sucks! The Falcons suck!
Hired on as their Oline coach this year. Him and Brian Cox were supposed to bring some "attitude".
Unfortunately it's the attitude of a teenage girl.
Lot of chatter out of Atlanta this offseason about being tough in 2014.
Tough to watch.
How much longer will Mike Smith last? Has there been a more overrated coach in the last twenty years?
The Lions were the better team today I guess.
I knew I saw Tice's ugly mug on TV with his name on the Chyron today. I just couldn't remember which game it was. 
He's the most overrated coach... tonight.
