Nice drive by the Falcons to get within 3 touchdowns. Glad to see Ryan recover, and to see Capers take the foot off the gas. I hope Tony G. is OK though. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Missed that onside by 6 damn inches. I feel like nearly every failed onside kick this year has been because of the 10-yard rule. The Falcons probably would’ve got it if he hadn’t jumped for it. ---

I usually don’t watch playoff football, but I’ve got literally nothing else to do right now. I’m glad I could share these moments with you and Dio. ---

Yeah. I’ve kept my mouth shut simply because I’m physically incapable of cheering for the Packers. I’m starting to hope Packers start limping off the field though. Incidentally, the McCarthy is a fucking moron for kicking that FG there. You need to punt the ball, giving the Falcons great field position and a chance to pull within 2 scores is not a wise choice.
