Tandy Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Looking forward to seeing Matt Ryan and co. next week. Always a fun match-up when the Steelers play the Falcons. The 3rd game of the pre-season is the most important one to see where your team is, going into the regular season. I have nothing, but respect for your squad. Hope it's injury-free and hard fought football. Good luck with the 2011/12 season and hope to see you in Indy?Same to you - and man! I really hope we see you in Indy! That would be my ultimate SB! My favorite team and my second favorite team - I get goose bumps just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, a Falcons - (fill in the blank) SB vs. anybody would be epic to us. You guys are spoiled to success! You've got 6 rings already. C'mon, give someone else a chance!

FalconMama Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 2 things:1 - Vick is starring down receivers2 - Teams are forcing him to run rightStill... it's just preseason.Go Falcons!And he still can't read defenses..Someone else that stood out to me is their MLB Casey Matthews and not in a good way. Despite the bloodline he is NOT a starter. He doesn't shed blocks well and he looked overmatched last night.. He's a liability against the run.

LOL, yes, we are definitly spoiled. Unfortunately, we gave the Packers that chance this past year. See, we are not really a selfish bunch. We just love our football and that's it's played well. I like your chances this year. You have a strong D, with an exciting and explosive O. It's coming together nicely. Key is staying healthy and depth. Talent is certainly there!

Eddie Dominguez Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Some of you are more concerned about what the Eagles are doing than your own team. I thought this was the Talk About The Falcons Forum? Edited August 19, 2011 by WallyWest1227 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supes™ Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Some of you are more concerned about what the Eagles are doing than your own team. I thought this was the Talk About The Falcons Forum?Outside of our own division, the Eagles have to be the most hated in Atlanta. We play them most every season and Andy Reid is 8-1 against us.We hate 'em and we're gonna talk about 'em. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Last year in preseason our first team offense looked rusty and that carried into the regular season. It was nothing to panic over (although some did) because it happens but to say how they perform means nothing is not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Dominguez Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I have no problem talking about the Eagles as it relates to this Falcons, but when someone creates a thread for every little thing they do it's gets redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think that's worth creating a thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pren226 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I don't take much stock in the preseason except for the fact that you don't want to look awful. vick looked like ookie badookie last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilkin Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 1 pick, 2 picks, 3 picks a dollar....all for Vick stand up an hollar....WE WANT KOLB! WE WANT KOLB! WE WANT KOLB! Reid will regret the day the way he put the screws to Mcnabb and Kolb. And then turn and bring in Young as a backup! Priceless.I think the Eagirls circus needs one more attraction.... FAVRE!

Kung-Pow Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 As a Steeler fan, we have some issues that need to be corrected. At corner, Ike Taylor did not play because he has a broken thumb. He is expected to be back by the regular season, but losing your best corner, the #1 guy, hurts. On top of that, Bryant McFadden was out and he is the other starter. They were also without 2nd year guy Crezdon Butler who we hope steps up this season and rookie Cortez Allen. The corner position was very thin. They signed two guys off the street this week so they had enough to play. It is weak. We need young guys to come alive and our vets to get healthy. Polamalu looks healthy. We are a different defense with him. Harrison also played and he gives a big boost. Luckily, they have quality and depth in the front seven on defense. That is our strength.On offense, I would stack our top 5 WRs with any in the league. Ward is not a burner, really never was, but he is crafty and wiggles open. He is tough, has good hands, and just keeps going. Wallace may be the most explosive guy in the NFL. His speed is legit. He has developed his route running. He is nasty, flat out nasty. He is the best young WR the Steelers have had since Lynn Swann. Manny Sanders is hurt, but he showed a lot last season. He would have been a focal point in the Super Bowl, but he broke his foot. Antonio Brown has been excellent so far. His development is shocking. Then, they added Jerricho Cotchery. It is an embarassment of riches. I like Mendenhall and Redman at runningback and Miller/Roethlisberger are as good as ever. If we can get a little depth at TE and our OL can do anything, this team can be pretty good. We could use a better LT and need someone to step up at RG. I think they take the division and make the playoffs. That is all I ever hope for because once you get in the playoffs, anything can happen. It takes some luck then. I cannot wait to matchup against the Falcons next week. It should be another good matchup and test our team.A Steelers fan... just curious: What's got u scouring our boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Pre season means?We let Matt Moore look like Aaron RodgersApparently it means you don't mind if a QB throws into double and triple coverage over and over and over again :-) LMAO at all of the trolls that were on here blasting Ryan for 3 incomplete passes and defending Vick for 3 INT's.

stripedss Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I hope people don't think this is going to carry over into the season. If you are one that does you will be soooo disappointed. Just as our beloved Falcons will be redy to play at a high level regardless of what happens in preseason you sure as well had better believe the Eagles will be ready also. it makes no sense to hoop and holler over a preseason game when you know the team us year in and year out a well coached one.
