I was rooting for them to beat the Colts yesterday, lol. How can you root for the Hawks and not the Falcons? Or root for the Lions and not the Pistons? I am confused.

Once this team ends up winning 4 or 5 games, they need to wipe the slate clean. Fire everyone, all of the coaches and Dimitroff. I am shocked Dimitroff is still hanging on with the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused. Followed Hawks and Braves on TBS in the 80's as a youngster but didn't really have a favorite football team. Living in the Bay Area, the Niners were all the talk with Joe, Rice, Lott, Roger Craig n company but I never got on board. I finally picked my fav team when I saw Barry Sanders play. He reminded me of the Nique of football, just a show you couldn't miss. Humble guy who never spiked the ball in the end zone, a class act. Lions fan since 89. In retrospect, I wish I had followed a team with better management. But I guess that's preaching to the choir with Hawks fans. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mule Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Falcon's head coach = Defensive Guru! Really? Wow! Can't get to their QB for a sack. But, we have all that new speed! What's the problem, coach? Defensive line doesn't know enough to know where to line up. In the neutral zone? Gee whiz! Five, count them, five defensive Falcons ran all over themselves and watched as the Bucs runner took it to the house. That's great defense, isn't it!! Pass defense. What pass defense? Did you see any of it? Where did it go? Missing in action! Still, on offense, allergic to the red zone. Offense gets three points - - Defense gives up seven. That doesn't add up to a winning combination, does it??? Falcon's Head Coach = Defensive Guru?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted September 12, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just to pile onto our misery. I thought this was kind of funny. http://deadspin.com/big-stupid-falcons-stadium-to-feature-big-stupid-bird-1786380980 Quote The Atlanta Falcons appear to be very committed to building the most batshit insane football stadium in American history. They already went and approved a design that will make the stadium resemble a robot’s anus, and now they are going to grace the grounds with what is purported to be the largest bird statue in the world. This news comes to us from For The Win, which talked to Hungarian artist Gábor Miklós Szőke, who is currently designing the big stupid bird. Look at this dumbass bird: Via Atlanta Falcons Szőke claims that the large idiot bird will stand 41.5 feet high and have a wingspan of 64 feet. Atlanta taxpayers are forking over $200 million to help build a stadium that looks like a metal sphincter and a statue that looks likeWorld Of Warcraft concept art. What a great deal for everyone involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnice Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Maybe they'll do the opposite from the beginning of last year and have success from Halloween weekend to weak 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn seems to equate trying to rip the ball out on every single tackle to playing aggressive D. It's the only thing our D seems to do consistently but it's often at the expense of actually tackling. And as we saw yesterday, doesn't work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 92.9 The Game @929TheGame Dan Quinn said Keanu Neal is "chomping at the bit" to get back on the field. Won't rule him out for Sunday in Oakland yet. 2m 92.9 The Game @929TheGame Dan Quinn said he's not sure if Julio Jones will practice on Wednesday. He (as does Mohamed Sanu) has an ankle injury. 3m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few years DQ'll be in the middle of a presser. He'll lean over, tear off his mask and reveal it was Mike Smith all along. Blankety-Blank and Dimitroff will be cackling together in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be different if I came back only when they're winning. If Blank's there, I don't care if they go 50-0. I'm done with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
