Peyton Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think enough has been made of the play John Abraham made to save the game. Cam Newton was falling forward for the game clinching first down and he made a precision strike with that left fist of his and knocked that ball right out of there.At that moment in time, our lasting memories from this game were going to be:Offense - The Falcons running page 1 from Mike Mularkey's playbook on the most important play of the game. A play most of us wish the Falcons would get rid of completely.Defense - Giving up the easiest game winning TD in history due to blitzing everybody because of the lack of pass rush all day.Instead our lasting memories are: Matt Ryan and Roddy White making a money play when it matters most, and Matt Bryant drilling yet another game winning kick right down the middle.So...thank you John Abraham for that truly clutch play.

Da Bird is Da Word Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Nah, I remember Abraham. He sacked Cam at the end of the game to rub our victory in his face. : D Edited October 1, 2012 by Da Bird is Da Word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That rollout on 3rd down made me want to strangle someone.What's our coordinators obsession with rollout plays on 3rd and long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I was so upset at that call man. If we were to lose that play was the reason. But D stepped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Big props to ABE, still proving the Falcons can't move away from him yet.Abe was kryptonite to Cam's Super-Man yesterday.Abe really does have an "S" on his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkflight Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Seems like Abe was held a lot in the game too. He wasn't getting any calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 3rd and 3. Matt Ryan is extremely adept at getting those 4 to 5 yard pass plays when the Falcons needed it from the pocket....but we all know the track record of the roll out is not great.

maxatlanta Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Lets not forget Matt Bryant. He's so money we just take it for granted that the 40 yard FG to win the game is gonna be good. Others don't have that luxury, just ask Saints fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others don't have that luxury, just ask Saints fans.Or even the skins. I saw that Cundiff made the game winner, but had missed 3 yesterday. Not to mention that big fail with Baltimore last year. If it's a close game vs the skins that comes down to kicking Bryant > Cundiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a number of baltant holding and PI calls that wasn't flagged in this game . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HASHBROWN3 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Props go to Nic on that play as well. Look at it again. It was nic cutting cams legs out causing him to tumble forward out of control. Nice play Nic! Great job Abe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 And its funny to think ALOT of people on this board didn't want to resign Abe.I didn't want to resign him for 12 mil a year like he was talking, but obviously he is worth the more modest figure that the Falcons got him for.

maxatlanta Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 And its funny to think ALOT of people on this board didn't want to resign Abe.Yes. Think about this- Lofton wanted 8mil/yr. We offered him fair market and he got his feelings hurt. He ultimately signed for similar or maybe even less money with the Saints just because he was so butt hurt.Abe wanted 12mil/yr. We offered him fair market and he acted like a proffessional, saw that our offer of 5mil/yr less than he wanted was fair, and is still here making plays for us.

Flip Wilson Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I wonder where Abe stands in forced fumbles in a career as compared to the rest of the NFL. The forced fumble is the most underrated stat in the game of football and Abe does it better than anyone I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Abe is never under appreciated man. He is without a doubt our best pass rusher and only one that consistently has qb's watching over their backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wanted to pay him 12m a year and I think he even knew he wasn't getting that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked terrible in the preseason, slow and uncertain, and now he can't even find his way into the rotation at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his attributes and number of years in the league its shocking he hasn't made an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is not looking very good as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sacked Cam at the end of the game to rub our victory in his face. : DThat was an awesome Ray Lewis-esque dance Abe did at the end. He was FIRED UP. I can't believe Ray Edwards even has the balls to join in the celebration. He's actually way more garbage than I originally thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
