I am an Atlanta Falcons fan for the rest of the season.I love football too much. Yes, I'll be watching.
But bitter, I am.
EXACTLY.... It's not as if we were blown outta the water. If we'd have played smartly at the end with that last drive, regardless of the officiating we COULD have still won the gameYet, if Sunday's game had been evenly officiated, you'd be cheering them onto the threshold of another Superbowl this weekend.
Its not so much about expectations for me as it is getting a fair shake. If GB could manage to beat us without help from the officials I could digest the loss alot smoother. But in a game of inches they gave GB miles and I cant seem to stop being pissed off about it. Wether we deserved to win or not I cant say but I sure know what a clothesline tackle looks like against our DL with a ref standing 3 feet away.
The future is bright though and I cant help but be excited for our team going forward.
Except if the packers werent holding on every single play maybe our defense would have yielded better results.
No team gets a fair shake with officiating because a lot of calls are missed and a lot of bad calls are made on both teams plus a lot of judgement is involved. Mo got away with a flagrant hold on a 3rd down that would have given the Packers a fresh set of downs and likely would have finished us off. Several noticed it on the game chat but it's part of football. Before the mistake was confirmed on Butler's penalty most were talking about the spike and the defense costing us the game, now everyone is pointing their finger at that penalty. I don't know how you can feel excited about the future if you're so wrapped up with officiating calls.
Some here should just give up watching the game because they seem convinced there's a conspiracy against the Cowboys and that officials are being paid off to make calls against us. lol Some of the things that have been posted by FANS on this board the past couple of days are absolutely ludicrous! Some here need to follow another sport or give up watching sports all together because they're all officiated and not all calls are going to go in your favor.
C'mon, that's an exaggeration and you know it. Stop making excuses for the defense and come to grips with the fact our defense continues to get us knocked off in the playoffs. Comments like that make you sound like a typical armchair FAN. Very difficult take anything some of you say on this board seriously.
Of course its an exaggeration. They did hold the hell out of us though and there's no exaggeration there. I really dont care how I am taken on this board either. As a general rule though I am most definitely one to be taken seriously.
Our defense has been our Achilles hill for years. That doesn't change the fact that the defense cant do thier jobs when our pass rushers are being clotheslined.
I'm not going to be watching, mostly because of a lack of interest. Seeing the Cowboys go out like that, with the bad calls and non-calls, well, I just don't thing the NFL is showing a product worth watching the rest of the way.
It's not so much a boycott, I simply don't care from this point on. And if the NFL sees a massive drop in ratings from here on out, I'll be happy.
What are your thoughts?
Of course I am watching the playoffs. Bloke, what am I to do? Watch WNBA?I'm not going to be watching, mostly because of a lack of interest.

What are your thoughts?
I'm not and I don't feel bad about it. I don't like any of the teams left. I hate the Patriots and the Steelers. So it's the Patriots every year. That can't be good ratings for the NFL. I can't think of one Cowboys fan that likes the Steelers either. It's an unwatchable game to me. I'm ready for the combine and Free Agency
You exaggerate, can't take anyone serious who does that and tries pinning the loss on the officiating.
Its cool, I dont take you serious either bro.
