Regular Season 2012

Regular season games, predicitons, picks and football game recaps during the 2012 regular season.

Atlanta Falcons win over Washington Redskins

A second interception in that last 4 minutes of the game by Atlanta they only needed to run out the clock.

As I picked last week here on October 3rd, Atlanta wins the game with Washington.

I picked them to win by 7 and the final score in the game was Atlanta Falcons 24 to the Washington Redskins 17.

This makes my pick for this game 100% on the money.

Atlanta gets another interception

With the interception made right after the 2 minute break it could be the play that allows Atlanta to hold on to the lead.

2 minute warning Falcons vs Redskins

The Washington Redskins have the ball at mid field. The are down by one touchdown. Atlanta is up 24 to 17.

Atlanta have a 24 to 17 lead

The drive ended with a run by a run by michael Turner that ends in the end zone. With the extra point the Falcons now have the lead back by 7.

It’s ironic that the rain is just now starting so we shall see if it has much effect on the last minutes of the game.

End 3rd quarter Redskins leads the Falcons

With Griffin, quarterback for the Redskins, pulled from the game, Kirk Cousins is put in for his first time in a regular season game. He didn’t convert on his few snaps but there is still a quarter left.

It’s Atlanta’s ball as the 3rd quarter ends. Redskins are up 10 to 7.

Atlanta Falcons vs Washington Redskins half time

Atlanta Falcons with their first score of the game with the Washington Redskins. The best play of the drive ended with a pass caught by Tony Gonzalez just short of the end zone. In fact they spot the ball inside the one yard line. 2 plays later and the Falcons push their way in for the score.

I think they really needed to score at this point in the game. It’s not that I think their confidence has been shattered, but I think this score will help with that a bit.

This allows them to go to the locker room at the half and realize they have to really focus on their game and not have the extra pressure of being shut out in the half.

They go to the locker room with a tied score 7 each.

Redskins miss the field goal

Billy Cundiff missed a short field goal and miss their opportunity to make their lead a two score lead again Atlanta.

It is now the 2 minute warning so Atlanta must score now so they are not down at the half.
