100% agree Macca, easily become my 2nd favorite sport. Spewing I only jumped on 4 years ago, missed out on a few years! Thanks for that link at bottom... Training camp started today & I'd thought that would close the chapter on that horrible day. It's funny in our game it's always "you got to lose one to win one" yet in the NFL the losing SB side is always bound for a "hangover" and history backs it up. In some ways it's easier to win one in the NFL, be the best of 4 sides & make the playoffs and anything can happen yet it's so hard in different ways. In AFL sides until last year had to finish top 4 for a genuine shot but get a double chance..

Yeah definetly not easy to unsubscribe, I tried to turn off my auto renew & there is no way to do it unless you email them... One of my colleagues said he'll go halves so that makes it doable

Yeah I've got foxtel at home it's just I can't watch every falcons game but getting up towards $300 is getting a bit pricey... Gamepass gives you every game, condensed or coaches film etc & then you get NFL network & all the football docos like A Football Life etc plus any game over the last 6 or 7 years... But I just find it hard to get the time to watch it all to make it worthwhile. The stream to the TV is perfect 99% of the time

What's you guys thoughts on gamepass this year @Gorgoroth @Macca @Dappa Dan do any of you normally purchase it ? It's gone up to $279. I still will get it, easiest & most reliable way to watch Falcons games

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-07-11/adelaide-tables-offer-to-indemand-defender-lever Tom Rehn from SA media said yesterday on SEN that he feels 6 weeks ago he was a certainty to stay now he's saying it's a real chance he might be gettable.. Interesting Lever says he isn't in any hurry to sign anything before finals, the message has changed from waiting for the CBA to now it's a life decision.. Interesting how it plays out

Tyson may have become a victim of himself, he burst onto the scene for us in his first year 2014 & really hasn't matched that form consistently. We have seen him dominate games here & there but I'd have thought by his 4th season with us he would be pushing to A grade status, injuries have not helpt. I still think he'll be a good player for the football club

Watched his progression closely over the last 12 months & he has really developed. His speed off half back with hunt is something that we could use.. I've always thought it would be nice to get him down here with his brother but at what cost ?

Ecactly the player we've been crying out for, for years. Ball use & compsure off half back he'll be a gun for years to come. Great pick up

Will be an interesting match up early & a rematch of the NFCCG... First game in the new Mercedes-Benz Dome. Relatively happy with the Falcons schedule, last year we had the hardest & look how that turned out. I'd be predicting an 11-5 again or 12-4 but who really knows.. It's interesting we finish the season with 4 out of our last 5 as divisonal games, that's pretty tough.. I read somewhere another team has the same, not sure if there's more.. Maybe the NFL is trying to keep later season games from becoming junk if teams seasons are over & keep some divisions alive longer in the season

Having watched it again I do sort of agree that it was more New england the comeback then Atlanta blowing it... My most vivid memory is when Alford pick 6'd Brady, I was losing my mind in the kitchen & my mrs wondering what the big deal was, I remember just yelling "he never throws pick 6's!!! We've got them now" only for it all to come crashing down haha!

Bit surprised about Romo calling it a day but when you think the run of injuries his had the past few seasons & at his age, would it really all worth it to up his family etc & move to another city for a season or 2.. He can retire a cowboy. Built up the courage to watch the Superbowl replay during the week. Still don't know how we lost but it's actually given me some closure haha. Can start looking forward to the season ahead

Without seeing too much of him from all reports atlanta are wrapt with the Poe signing... Think the superbowl broke me, don't have the usually enthusiasm.. Maybe more focused on round 1 next weekend aswell

Good get... He was my preferred choice to replace Shanahan

That's the thing I'm most disappointed about, beating sides like Green Bay, Seattle isn't easy & you've got sides like Dallas who will improve again. If your Vikes get healthy & have a good run their going to be a good side.. It's going to be so hard to get back there & so so many things have to go your way & we blew a golden opportunity...

Been feeling down all day today... I can't imagine how those lifelong Atlanta fans who've waited 51 years must be feeling or the players for that matter. I saw a stat last night, since 2001.. 394 teams have trailed by 25+ points in games & only 3 including the Pats yesterday have gone on to win. Also at the 11 minute mark of the 4th quarter with Atlanta leading 28-12 & the having the ball, they were rated a 99.6% chance to win!!! How in the world does a side have a 0.4% chance to win a game & actually do it.. Unbelievable. I knew, I just knew when they got the score back to 16 points & it was a 2 score game it was over... I could see it coming...

Thanks again for running the tipping comp Macca... With 10 minutes to go & a 19 point lead I thought to myself "We're actually going to win this & the I'll take out the post season tipping comp" haha... I feel like I don't even want to go back & follow next year (I know I will) everything fell into place this year for us & it was all there to be taken with a 28-3 lead. I look back at week 16 when Seattle miss a 30 odd yard FG against Arizona to open the #2 seed for us & I had this feeling from there things were going to go our way & they did right up until the last quarter. It's a hell of a long way back to the Superbowl, not sure what the stats say but I couldn't imagine too many losing sides writing the wrong the following year. Shannahan will take the 49ers job so we will be with a new OC, who knows how that will pan out, will we learn a new scheme after what worked so well for us this year ? All I know today was a missed opportunity, on the surface you say we are a young defense & in year 2 of Quinn..We were ahead of schedule & going up against Brady & Bellicheck we had a free hit at a superbowl but that all went out the window with a 28-3 lead, we chocked... Plan & simple & it was probably the offense in the end that cost us, the defense was hot all game but was too gassed in the end to make a stop. This will hurt for a long time... Thanks for letting me vent... Go Dees!

I just don't get it... You have the ball on your own 20 yard line, you call 3 run plays and kick the field goal!! Why get fancy & call pass plays. Just run 3 times, take time off the clock & make it a 11 point lead with 4 minutes to go.. Baffling

I honestly am lost for words.... I just don't see how you give up a 28-3 lead. As good as Ryan has been all year & for the first 3 quarters, he had to throw that ball away when he got sacked when in FG range... This game is litreally a game of inches, Edelmans catch just sums it up.

I actually can not belive this... We wont stop brady here, they have all the momentum.. This is an absolute nightmare

S#it

I wont be settled until it's litreally impossible for them to come back

Can not believe this... Brady pick 6 for a 21-0 lead... This defense is on fire! Still nervous though

Have been calm for 2 weeks but the nerves are starting to kick in... Hopefully get to sleep tonight. God knows what I'll be like if the Dees ever make the big one

Falcons 34 - Patriots 31 Matt Ryan MVP (Freeman a smokey)

From a Falcons point of you the best way to get Ryan off his game is to bring pressure & get him off his spot.. The problem I think the Pats could have is if they bring a 3 or 4 man blitz how do you then double Julio (as many predict Bellicheck will) & keep Sanu & Gabriel in check aswell as Coleman & Freeman who are very good recievers out of the backfield... Maybe that's where my quiet confidence is coming from. I honestly don't think they can slow our offense & as good as Brady is, he doesn't have the range of weapons Ryan does.. Having said that Brady is the GOAT so I would never be overly confident going up against him especially in a SB as well the mastermind Bellicheck, coming up with ways to stop the offense. Ps: I hope your all on board the Falcons
