IceCap Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Breaking news from Atlanta...Falcons scrap plans to call their new stadium Futility Field at One-and-Done Park.Yes, I'd hoped to use that following another Falcon failure but hey, you play the cards you're dealt, right? Indiana, let it go.

Seadragon76 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 So much for waving the Wolf Gray flag there...It sucks to know that Carroll tried the seemingly idiotic practice of icing the kicker. Come on, dude... He shanked the first kick. If he didn't call timeout, then it would be another storied chapter in the book called 'How Atlanta Can't Win a Playoff Game in the Mike Smith Era'But... The silver lining is that Seattle fought back down 20 to put themselves in this situation. Hell, making the playoffs was a big shock. It's been a good season and it sucks to see it end like this, but yet I can't help but feel happy to know that they made the playoffs, won 11 games and made it to the divisional round. Next year, maybe they can win the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If Houston wins this game, that means there is no more outdoor football for the 2012 season.That's a depressing thought. I remember how much I hated the 2009 playoffs, when there were only three games played in outdoor venues (NY Jets vs. Cincinnati, Baltimore vs. New England, and NY Jets vs. San Diego). This time of year, football is meant to be played in the bitter cold elements.Of course, as someone who has no love lost for the city of Boston and their teams, I'm not exactly rooting for New England here.That's annoying.

cameroncrazie07 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 What a game in Atlanta earlier but if I'm the Seahawks before that last play, I'm setting up for a field goal then icing my own kicker. I can then see if he's got the leg for it then, and if he doesn't, then I try the hail mary. Just a thought.That being said, what a bad job by the Texans after that return.

I would love next week's NFC Championship more if the Falcons weren't playing in their dingy dome. Outdoor football > indoor football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If the Texans win this, the four quarterbacks left standing will be Kaepernick, Schaub, Ryan, and Flacco. Kind of like a passing of the torch to the next generation. Cool stuff. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Gronk didn't look too good. He fell right on his heavily taped up arm. Here's hoping he's going to come back, because that is a huge blow to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
