westcoastloc Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Almost every season preview I have seen for the Falcons says good things about Ryan, but then says we'd be lucky to win 4 games? WTF? I know I am a fan so i am biased, but I think we should win 6-7 games or dare I say MORE? Listen I know its gonna take us years to rebuild but Look at our schedule. Green Bay ,San Diego, and maybe Minnesota are our toughest opponents (unless you consider the NFC South as tough). Unless Im mistaken most of the other teams we play had losing records last season. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durrdbyrd Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 A team devoid of any superstars is not going to get much respect from the "experts". We know this team is better than they say it is because we follow them closely. My guess is that by mid-season, our bandwagon will be loaded with those who currently call us the worst team in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreyCo Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 then 8-8 in tht case =peither way, 7-9 or 8-8, ill take it over 4-12 any dayI will love 7-9 this year....10-6 next. I think that is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaud Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Why do people care about what people predict us to finish? Those people or predictions don't effect what goes on,on the field. It's their opinion and of course people wouldn't think much of the Falcons after the last few years, the only thing that matters is the players not some silly predictions.

c4vanaugh Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I will love 7-9 this year....10-6 next. I think that is reasonable.likewise, 7-9 in a rebuilding type season would be very good and send a message to these so called experts who before this year have the panties goin to the SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripedss Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 you guys are not serious about this are you?? This team will be lucky to win 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybirdz91 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The only NFC North opponent I'm worried about is Minnesota. Green Bay MIGHT be a threat too, if Aaron Rodgers steps up. AFC West, the only one I'm worried about is the Chargers. Broncos are okay(I'd LOVE a W on this one, revenge for stealing that SB win from us!), but Chiefs and Raiders are in a sorry state, probably even worse than us. But we've got The Burner, Ryan, White. etc. Its a better schedule than last year, when we were going up against the AFC South, which had 4 teams that were good and made at least .500.

Jmxvol Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I think we SHOULD go about 7-9, so I'm gona subtract a couple just based on inexperience at QB, young players, depth issues, etc....5-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveybirdman Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'll take exceeding lower expectations any day, instead of the wheels coming off..... Especially with the whole no back to back winning thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreyCo Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 you guys are not serious about this are you?? This team will be lucky to win 4 games.I'm assuming that your name implies that you have STRIPES on either a Camaro, Monte Carlo, 454 SS Silverado, El Camino, Chevelle, Impala, Cobalt, Malibu, TrailBlazer, or HHR. So why should we take you seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsfan1987 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm looking forward to the Charger game, I want to see Burner get more yards than LT in that game, wouldnt it be nice to see Burner run all over the chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
