I heard a lot of drunken retards doing that stupid “Kuuuuhn” call, so there must be a lot of Packer fans there.

Wow, looks like it could be a high-scoring game! Does either team have any D at all?

Fuck yeah. Nice interception taking the field goal off the board. Kudos to the Falcons for not going conservative on offense in the game, but more kudos for the defensive turnover.

Packers got lucky there. Their defense was garbage on that drive, but they lucked out that the receiver fell down. Too bad.

Must have painted the endzone logo with oil based paint.

Does anyone have a random-stupid stat on how many players have had end-zone INTs in back-to-back postseason games? Has to be pretty rare. Considering that CBS told us that Baltimore’s first-half score was their third-most first-half scoring output against Pittsburgh in 33 games, I’m kinda surprised the networks haven’t told us.

Jones made a great play on the ball and held on for the TD.

The Falcons haven’t stopped the Packers offense all day. Rodgers is playing an outstanding game.

Rodgers is garbage. The Birds just aren’t getting any pressure on him.

Whew. I’ve calmed down a bit.

I said it earlier, but it bears repeating: “Kudos to the Falcons for not going conservative on offense in the game, but more kudos for the defensive turnover.”

The Packers are still dogshit, don’t worry. Their season will still end tonight.

I understand that you’re incredibly jaded and refuse to see anything that doesn’t fit your particular vision, but if you’re talking about the best quarterback in the league, at the table for discussion is Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers is not in that discussion. He’s not even in the top Five.

Dude, it’s Dio. If there is one thing he has consistently shown in any football thread is that the only thing to outweigh his obnoxiousness is his complete and utter ignorance of football. You’re wasting your time.
