formul8or Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah we had sellouts with Vick, so I don't quite understand that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think they mean since the last game for the sellouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white hope Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 those ratings are ridiculous and more than likely northeast bias. My friends and I go to 6 or 7 ROAD games a year and see fans in other places all the time.as far as people hating us, panther fans continuously make posts about how much they hate atlanta...the team, the city...etc... cause we have owned them in our history and always bring a lot of people. Whoever made this is obviously not a professional. its ridiculous. How are you going to make a numerical scale and then award negative numbers and also claim an unbias?? nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iloxygenil Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Consecutive = in a row...as of right now we don't have any in a row...must be DJ supporters with intelligence levels that 'high' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltstorm1 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 kind of on/off topic, but I remember all of the Tampa Bay fans talking about our city being a poor sports town, when the Devil Rays who are doing extremely well in MLB can barely fill up any seats. I know the Braves didnt sell out a playoff game, but come on we had been to the playoff's 14 straight years. I'd figure Tampa would embrace the new found success of their baseball team but really have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David TTU Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 LinkI thought we had consecutive sellouts during the Vick Era??he means whether or not we are currently on a streak of consecutive sellouts a la GB or Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edZep Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Last seasons miserable season has led people to believe that we hav been horrible for the past 10-15 years.If you think about it the Falcons have made more Playoff appearnces over that time span than several other teams.Yeah when we have a bad year we go all out.Last year and 2003?(Vicks leg) for example but overall I would think the Falcons are about middle of the pack .

jluk Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 partial blame for worst fan fare is due to the negativity from atlanta "sports analyst" such as terrance moore. but other than that we have wayyy too many fair weather fans, lol this is probably due to so many transplants to our city.

Especially in light of the fact that no other team in the NFL has a fanbase that obsessively agonizes over the fate of their 4th string QB solely because he's a hometown boy that played his college ball at the local university.Who was #31 and #32, anyway?
