Best play of the game

[k-train 8,957]

You could tell he was already salty when they showed him on the sideline after yet another INT off the hands of one of his WR's. Then when his o-line hung him out to dry like that, he was fuming. Definitely seemed to light a spark under some azzes today.

Overthrew an open Marvin Hall that would've been a 30 yard gain. On the INT, I thought the ball could've been released a second earlier for an easier completion instead of high tip. Besides that, he played well.

Still hit Sanu in the hands, it was a very catchable ball.

The best play of the game that will be forgotten was the 2nd down play in the 1st half where the Cowboys went low and even without the flag I was just happy it didn't end Ryan's season. 

Because for 25 / 32 QBs that's a torn ACL. 

Same feeling / type of hit from the Eagles game back in 2014(?) that i thought ended a season ... but even back then he just walked it off and came back. 

No offense to QBs like Bridgewater, Watson or Rodgers but could you say the same for them? 

Thank god for his left knee brace

Good observation, and Ryan seemed to gather some fuel after that play.  He was pretty pissed afterward.

I agree he took it very personally as he shuld  every  game

i MENTIONED THIS IN ANOTHER THREAD EARLIER.  I remember a hit by the Lions and Suh, what in his second or third year?  It was his ankle, the it bent I thought he was done for the year.  Someone said it earlier, but Ice is very pliable.  

Remember that game, I thought the season was over then Ryan comes trotting out of the locker room and it was awesome.

[kschreck 5,836]

So the question is, what needs to happen to get Ryan pissed off more often.

Jake Matthews let a free runner blindside Ryan low? O wait that’s happened all season

The 20something yard pass to Julio on the sideline.  3rd quarter maybe?  

Best play I've seen all year.  Routes progressed and there was a ton of separation with each receiver.  2-3 guys were open there.    

And I agree with Lost, the fumble sack before half was huge as well.

He was cussing out his blockers on the field it appeared and thats also when things started to turn.  That is the fire we need from our QB.  Holding guys accountable on the field and not accepting anything less than success from his Offensive Line.

The blocking did noticeably improve at some point. It was terrible early. Did anyone actually HEAR him cussing them out?

Lip Reading amigo.....he looked to be dropping f bombs all over the place.  Then he blew up the Cowboys!  Love an angry Ryan.

I think it's time for someone to man up and piss in his Corn Flakes on game days!

Does anyone have a replay of the hit we're talking about here?  I might've missed it getting Pizza 

[Atlfanstckndenver 2,466]

Add that to the list of occasions where Matt's use of that brace has saved our skin.

[GET-ME-A-DB-TD 763]

Im still not sure how you can"block someone INTO a low hit" if your qb hasnt left the pocket...?

[Boise Falcon Fan 4,122]

I have said forever that Matt Ryan is the toughest QB in the League. No QB takes hits better than him. That dude takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Is he Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers no, but he is the next group of guys.

I was pissed off for him. I was thinking that if I were in his position, regardless of whether or not the penalty was called, I'd be lighting into the O-line and telling them to do their freaking jobs. Up until that point the protection and blocking was downright putrid.

After that first late/low hit he went off on the refs.

[Peyton 21,045]

It was complete garbage they the refs picked up the flag on that play.

I was FUMING. Even IF someone blocked the guy into Matt (which, quite frankly, is not at all what I saw ... I would appreciate a replay or GIF if anyone has one), no one can convince me that flag gets picked up against a Brady or a Rodgers. I was livid.

But then ... I noticed Matt was livid too, and I literally went from raging to smiling in my living room.

I don't care how corny this sounds, I KNEW we'd won the game at that point.

He had every right to be furious, and special things happen when Matt gets that pi$$ed.

There were a few games this year where things were starting to fall apart and I wanted to see Matt get mad at somebody....anybody...and he didn't, so yeah, I enjoyed seeing him get fired up.

Me too. Actually the thing I've been most frustrated with regarding his play this year is not seeing his usual fire.

I'm not saying it isn't there (every Mic'd Up I've ever seen of him and everything his teammates say would dictate otherwise) but EVERY time the camera would cut to him on the sideline in the rough moments of games this season, I just ... didn't see it.

In addition to seeing a humming offense and swarming defense again last Sunday, it was really nice to see that Matt Ryan.
