I'm merely pointing out stats, not trying to say we will be the ubber team going into the season, just fun to see where some of our younger guys stack up compared to others.

GritsPittz Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 they were interesting last year as well, didnt the foulcons win 3 out of 4 preseason games but in the regular season win 4 out of 16We actually did really well at the beginning of the year (defensively) and if it wasn't for our horrible kicker at the beggining of the year we could have won more games. Who knows what confidence would have done for the team last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GritsPittz Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 with that said it makes me ask myself how many seasons have they found more ways to lose than winYeah we definitely found many ways to lose last year, but with the play of our offensive line and our horrible running game we didn't deserve to win many games. Our defense was a lot better than it was ranked last year, but they were out on the field way too much. I like the Michael Turner pick up, and if the O-Line can give us a push, 9-10 wins isn't out of the question, but it is hard to win with a rookie QB so I'm not gonna hold breath.

RobSalvador Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Been some very pleasant surprises.Ryan, really cant call surprise, you should be pretty goood if you are top 10. (Unless of course you are a DE which everyone knows take 3 years to develop)Bakers and Lofton assuming starting positions is very good but also reflects on last years weakness.DBs especially Grimes play has been miraculous.Bierman and Turner are who we thought they were.

CaliforniaFalcon Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm optimistic about the upcoming season but dont have my hopes up. So far so good in the pre-season and honestly for the first time in years I DONT have my hopes up about the outcome of the season.Maybe not having my hopes up is a sign of great things to come.

mcsupersport Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 You antifalcons, do realize this is a falcon message board specifically for Falcon FANS?? Right?? So of course true fans should be upbeat about their team, that is why they are fans. If you don't really like it GO AWAY. As for all you guys quoting JIGGA, and Consistant, please stop, I ignore them and then see their stupid posts in your quotes, and it annoys me to no end, to see their stupidity.
