The Hat Tipping Thread

Here is a picture of a pretty full stadium just before the introduction of the Falcons. -
Sean Payton Suspended For 1 Year
falconthru&thru replied to jfalconsp's topic in Talk About the Falcons
Saints didn't have a first round pick this year, they already had traded it to New England. -
I don't believe that Jim Irsay will let either emotions or public relations play too much of a role in this decision. Keep in mind that this is the same ownership that moved the team from Baltimore to Indy under cover of night in late March 1984 -- granted, that was Jim Irsay's dad Robert -- and that Jim Irsay got into a heated legal battle with his step mother over control of the team after his father (Robert) had a stroke in 1996, and Jim was awarded sole ownership in 1997.

Fisrt moved to Atlanta from Northwest Indiana in August 1985 with my wife and infant son, and the Falcons have been my pro football team ever since. The team went 4-12 that year. (I suppose growing up as a Cubs fans has somewhat made losing seasons and/or playoff disappointments a little easer to deal with, but not really.)

Ryans' Accuracy Vs. Dropped Passes
falconthru&thru replied to Nono's topic in Talk About the Falcons
Anyone else see the irony of having Finneran commenting on drops, given that years ago he was being lambasted on these very boards for his own bobbles and had the nickname of "skillet hands"? I know that he ultimately became a very reliable receiver for the Falcons, but still, it's kind of funny. -
Houston up next and reports are that Leinart may be out for the year with a broken collarbone.

Had A Great Time At Lucas Oil Stadium
falconthru&thru replied to falconthru&thru's topic in Talk About the Falcons
A little home cooking on the replays. They showed the "no-call" replay of the Julio Jones fumble over and over (I believe the refs blew the play dead so they were not going to get that call overturned), but chose not to show a single replay of the Julio touchdown catch of the Ryan 50-yard bomb a single time. -
Had A Great Time At Lucas Oil Stadium
falconthru&thru replied to falconthru&thru's topic in Talk About the Falcons
I didn't pick up any gifts, but my son bought himself a Colts jacket (poor misguided soul ). I actually was born and raised in Indiana and attended IU undergrad before moving to Atlanta back in 1985, when I promptly became a Falcons fan. -
Made the trip up to Indy with my son to watch the Falcons take on the Colts. I actaully purchased the tickets back in late July when the expectation was that Peyton Manning -- my son's favorite player -- was still going to be able to play this year. Oh well, no regrets on my part. The Falcons won!!! Lucas Oil Stadium is a wonderful football stadium. Not only does the roof open, but there's also a large opening at the visitor's endzone, which provides for a real outdoor feel to the game as the cool air circulates throughout the stadium. Prior to the start of the game, maybe right the Nati

Vick: The Georgia Dome Is "matt Ryan's House."

I've got no problem with Falcons fans booing the **** out of Vick every time he steps on the field. -
Hayden,sanders Might See Only Special Teams Role
falconthru&thru replied to vel's topic in Talk About the Falcons
This is just smoke and mirrors on Smith's part. I believe that at least one, if not both, will get some actual playing time this Sunday night. Why tip your hand, though, if you're the Falcons coaching staff?
