Musings from the Falcons Messageboard

[Rampage]

You see the Giants sched for the next 8 weeks?

Murderers row. They could very much go 3-5 over that stretch.

doubt it. you see the difference between us and them is we play the bad teams down to the wire. the Gmen smash the bad teams.

I dunno. They beat up on bad teams.Big deal. They were +4 in the turnover margin when they played us and barely won. They got some big tests coming up and it starts with New Orleans. I still don't see the Giants being that legit.

 

[SharutoX]

The Saints are going to destroy the Giants.

I live in atlanta too. It's easy to shut them up. Atlanta is the ultimate fairweather city. All major sports have 1 championship between them. The falcons EVEN WHEN THEY ARE GOOD, the fans sell their tickets. Anyone who has been to a Cowboys/Falcons game in atlanta knows the game is not even close, it's EASILY more cowboys fans than falcons. That applies anytime a big team comes in town.

They have no loyalty. The yankees and red Sox came in town this year (back to back series) and all 6 games were more away fans then hometeam.

lol, i was just telling my friend this the other day! The fans here are the definition of the word "bandwagon" I was there in 2006 i know what you mean. Come on Big D, help me shut this city up!!!!

 

[StylisticS]

They are a cocky bunch over there. They are slamming every other fanbase throughout the league.

 

[FLcowboy]

I would love to shut these guys up.

The Falcons are playing pretty well right now but the Cowboys have the talent to beat them.

The Falcons looked really good against the 49ners. The 'Boys will have to play really well, and a lot better than they did in KC. They will go into the game as underdogs I think.

 

[Billy Bullocks]

You can't really argue with much of what the fans over there are saying.

Many posters on this board would say exactly the same tihng if the roles were reversed.

RB is our strong point. Barber is banged up. Felix was out. So Choice is the only 100%.

The defense hasn't been very good this year. Especially at crucial times in games.

Miles Austin had a huge break out game. But besides that, none of our WRs has looked that great.

Romo certainly has not played as good as he can. He's been better than many have dogged him for. But as an opposing fan, I wouldn't be too worried about him.

Can't disagree about the assessment of ATL either. Turner is a damn good back. But I think Ryan can be rattled, and they do rely heavily on Gonzalez who is definitely long in the tooth.

ATL is a good team. Beating them would give me faith. This game will be real test, and I think it will give us a good barometer of where this team stands at the moment.

how many super bowls did ATL win again? Thats right

Yes, what was done in January 1996 is completely relevant in late October 2009...

 

[Hook'em#11]

Stupid *** statement. One that got old in 96. Maybe in 97.

Just like the above poster stated. Doesn't matter now.

Atlanta is the better team coming in. Dallas hasn't put a full game together and will get beat by Atlanta if they don't come out swingin. I can't disagree with the assessments by the Atlanta base either.

 

[reddyuta]

the falcons are 24th against the run(almost 5 yards a carry).garrett better know what to do with all 3 backs relatively healthy.

 

[malbis030347]

you are so right on about Atlanta fans, they really could care less...remember how David Justice had to plea with the fans to show a pulse---in a World Series game no less!!!!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Atlanta is a really good team. I'm not going to take anything away from them. They'll be a very tough team to beat.

 

[Monster Heel]

All I know is that Dallas better win this if they have any illusions about securing a wildcard spot. The Saints are probably going to win the NFC South, so that will leave Atlanta out in the cold and in the wildcard race.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

honestly? I think we are going to PUNISH the Falcons. And instead of the headlines saying "Dallas is starting to gel".....they will say "Perhaps the Falcons are not as good as we thought"

 

[Phoenix]

You think that's bad? I have to LIVE with these bozos. My house is literally a 10-minute drive from the Georgia Dome. All I have to do is get on 10th Street and keep drivin' straight shot and I'm there. I have Cowboys stuff all over my office. I am going to hear it from everyone on the floor before and after the game unless we do the impossible and find some way to win. Falcons fans were already insufferable last year when they figured out their team was good. They are downright unbearable right now.

Same here. The sheer hatred I hear them spew on the Cowboys when sitting at a bar, over and over again, is just nauseating.

 

[saintsational]

As a die hard Saints fan, there is not a team that I hate more then the Falcons. They spammed our message board with crap on the weeks that they won and disappeared on the week that they lost to NE. They started again yesterday once they won. I really hope you win this game....and win it big!

I am also learning how annoying some Giants fans can be. Are most of them always like that? Most seem to think that they are going to beat down the Saints. I wish their coaches and players would over look the Saints like some of their fans. I have already heard the excuse "the only way the Saints win is if Eli's foot is bothering him" from one Giants fan. Really????

Anyways, good luck next weekend. Hopefully both our teams can win and the Saints can take a 2 game lead of the division....maybe that will shut up the Falcon fans.

omg I know how you feel. I ive in atl too and when the falcants were 3-13 you couldn't find a fan to claim them but now every game they win they act like they won a superbowl. The falcants aren't unbeatable yea they are good but they are not the best and we have the tools to exploit their weakness

Giants players are annoying. For the most part, their fans are better than Skins fans and Philly fans. Though that's saying almost nothing. Basically, they don't throw batteries at Santa. Good luck with them next week, though.

Saints were my pick to win home field in the NFC this year, and not just because I want to watch Benson dance some more with his umbrella. Gregg Williams is underrated in terms of what he can do with limited personnel, and Brees is insane.

I love Gregg Williams. He is the best free agent pick up we had this season with Sharper right behind him. As for Brees, I would not take another qb to lead my team (not even P Manning). Not just for what Brees does on the field, but for what he does off the field also. He has done so much and he continues to do so much for the communities. He is just an all around good guy and very much loved here.

I completely forgot about the Eagles fans throwing things at Santa.
