I’ll take “articles that aged poorly” for 300, Alex


Yep, over 500 yards passing. Kirko was on a heater, he's an accurate thrower of the football. He even broke out the ol' 'You like that'? in the locker room. ;) Atlanta could have easily lost that game, played clutch when they had to.

Good for Tampa to lose a game, especially NFC, now both are 3-2.

I didn't watch much of the game,  but damn tampas pass D looked like shit on the two drives I did watch,  Cousins was throwing at will to wide open receivers.  If the pass rush didnt get to him it looked like a game of catch with the kids.


Yep, Tampa was missing a few defensive starters. When someone throws for 500 yards or close to it, that's usually the case.

When Kirk threw the pick with a minute and a half left I shut it off. Later saw pics of Kirk celebrating and absolutely could not figure out how that could've happened. I thought it was a prank or satire. Falcons not only won, but scored a field goal AND a touchdown? It doesn't add up.

Went back and watched the end. Wow. They got a little lucky on that spike though. That was a split second from being game over.


Atlanta has been more lucky than good in their wins this year.

Honestly, its tough to not root for Kirk, he's such a down to earth, everyman type. Said after the game he 'was exhausted' and then yesterday said he didn't get home until 2:30 am, which is a big deal for him as its way past his bedtime, lol. Did an interview in his SUV outside a Waffle House with his son in the backseat.
