It's a on going problem with the games in London. The field at the new wembely is made too short specially for soccer. The NFL players have eatin right through it and will continue to do so. They are to big and athletic to be on grass cut that short. The NFL players hate it, the English don't get it.

If there's a difference between Matt Ryan and Jay Cutler, I don't know what it is.

(Well, other than the fact that Ryan somehow has been treated like the golden child and has been given a lifetime pass by the media.)

Ryan has four playoff trips in six years and a 91 career rating. Cutler one playoff trip in eight years with an 85 career rating. Ryan has three 4000 yard seasons in six years and Cutler has one in eight. Ryan can stay healthy.

Two completely different playing styles.

When the chips are down, Matt Ryan sucks. "Matty Ice"? Ice cold, maybe.

They just showed Steven Jackson looking lost sitting on the bench.

When Steven Jackson was in St. Louis, they lost almost every week.

He got yards, and Rams fans liked him, and he was a good player on a bad team. Their losing was not due to him.

But I always considered him a loser player. When he needed short yardage he couldn't get it, etc.

He went from St. Louis to an Atlanta team coming off a 12-4 record, and ever since he got to Atlanta, they can't win.

Maybe it's coincidence. Certainly there are far more factors involved. But this guy's W-L record is going to be as bad as any player you can find.

The Atlanta Falcons had a 21-0 lead. The Lions got screwed on a 2 point conversion. The Lions had a 100-yard INT return called back.

And Atlanta STILL lost the game.

I'd tell Smith to stay in London.

Falcons should not have laid down with a minute left in the 1st half

And they certainly should not have passed on 3rd down there after the 2 min warning
