NFL Week 5 -- They know me and Jayden Daniels got a history

[Matt1735]

forking hell! I changed the channel after the INT, and I'm a guy who is pretty much adamant about staying until the end.

I denounce myself.

Same here.

I quit Al/Herbie mid 3. Those two have mailed it in. I love Al, but enough.
Listened to the rest on radio with Durham/Archer.

Was listening on the radio and figured the game was over after the pick. Would have been over except for the fumble, then the holding call on the first down run...Guessing many Falcons fans thought so too by the empty seats shown on the game-tying kick at the end.
Other thoughts - I don't know if Al is disinterested or just doesn't have the juice anymore.
Love the yellow/gold trim on the Falcons helmet stripe - it's barely there, but really makes the entire helmet pop.
Totally dig the open credits for both the TNF pre-game and the game broadcast.
Really not a fan of stadiums flashing the lights off and on after scores. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

 

[HanSenSE]

Whatever zing the flashing lights may have had is gone because everyone does it. It's lost what uniqueness it had.

 

[playthrough]

The flashing lights are turrrrible. Which team/stadium started that abomination?

Somebody with a shutdown closer, I'm betting.

I realize the LED lighting saves on energy, so that's good, but the ability to shut them off an on is irritating. I'm guessing one lawsuit by an epileptic who seizures from watching a game on TV or in person will end the practice.

And yeah, being an "old-timer" - there was something cool about a baseball game stopped due to a power outage or wahtever, and waiting for the lights to come back on and get bright enough to restart the game.

 

[Hermes]

Somebody is going to fall out of an upper deck with the lights flashing at some point and some family is going to own a franchise.

And I'm pretty sure any small print language on the back of the ticket won't be good enough to cover their liability for flicking the light on and off like my five-year-old.

It's dumb, unsafe and would make me nervous to take an elderly parent or small child to a game where it happens. Lights are there for a reason.

 

[Hermes]

The Falcons getting to the line and spiking that thing in three seconds was a thing of beauty.

 

[poindexter]

I'll be charitable and say it is in these defensive guys' DNA to intercept the ball on fourth down. But darn, that fourth quarter Buc interception was a terrible decision. By even picking it and running with it, he was taking a chance (they had just lost a fumble). As it was, if he bats down the 4th down pash, the Bucs get the ball at the 20. They can kneel three times and kick a 42 yard field goal.

Good lord, the decision making was horrendous.

 

[Gutter]

Somebody with a shutdown closer, I'm betting.

So, not the Brewers. /toosoon
