uga2006 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 ESPN are just bandwaggoners and it looks like they wanna jump on Matt Ryans bandwagon more so than the Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they wanna hop on our nuts? Bunch of sac hoppers if you ask me. I wipe my moms dogs a** with the media's opinion of the FalconsI agree 100%.......It's amazing that from week 1 we've went from "well, the Lions are a bad team" (That MANY picked us to lose to... ) to week 5 "We hadn't beat a good team" (Although Green Bay was one before we played them)....to last week "We hadn't beat a good defense" (301 passing yards later the Bears aren't a good defense anymore right!?! )So I assume the next argument will be (They haven't beat 2 good defenses in a row)..... .....Screw the media! Lets just keep on winning b/c we know who was here in the struggle and who hopped their happy ***** back on the train when things are going good.

Karst41 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yes we are a good football team, because we are about TEAM.The next time we lose a game they will place us in the trash heap!I will not forgive them for the prediction that we would win 1 game at best.What did they say about us beating the Lions and ChiefsWhat did they say about the Packers.Now that we beat the bears they want to show some love.

Two weeks in the row we was suppose to get dominated by the Packers and Bears. We end up winning both of those games and all of the suddent the Packers and Bears doesn't matter because they wasn't good team anyway. Answer this question will you. How did they go from great last week, to bad this week? Are we that darn bad or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dF Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 That is a ranking I will agree with. Middle of the pack is about right, as I would have them ranked 18th myself.ESPN's power rankings are almost always laughable though. Everyone overreacts to every little thing. The Titans being undefeated hardly makes them the best team in the NFL. I doubt players around the league fear Tennessee more than any other team. That offense has a ton of problems, and they likely won't even win their own division as Indy will go on a run especially when Bob Sanders comes back.
