The Birds are the truth Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Maybe then we can see who all the bandwagon fans are. It's preseason guys, they aren't going to run anything more than basic plays.I agree. But I have no confidence in any of our back ups if our starters goes down (DB's). We are lacking in depth in this area. "Sure" we can say this just about every team in the NFL. But Players like Belgrave, Franks, Wells and Owens that's not going to cut it sir. Hopefully TD goes after Kelvin Hayden or somebody that's going to be a upgrade over what we have if the plan is about making a Superbowl run.

Tallahassee Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Isn't it a rule that the Falcons always do the opposite of how they do in the preseason? I remember several time doing well in the preseason only to tank in the regular season. It makes sense, too: if you have your starting positions set, you're going to get your new guys in earlier, while the less-established teams will still be trying to get their A-team reps. For that reason alone, I hope we go 0-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENERALZOD Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Maybe then we can see who all the bandwagon fans are. It's preseason guys, they aren't going to run anything more than basic plays.It's so obvious they are just trying a few new things isn't it. For one thing, when they've been 3rd and 1 Ryan's been throwing the ball 20 yards down the field, if they were trying to win they would do what they've done the last 3 years and run the ball for 1 yard and get the first down.

kschreck Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I don't care about our record in the preseason but I do care about our shaky nb situation.Yes good QB will do, like Rodgers and exploit our weakness.I wasn't real impressed with our pass protection either. I wish we had a better view of the receivers routes because I'm curious to see if they weren't developed yet when the pocket collapsed or if they are covered and not getting free.

It will help if Robinson is back in and we see what they have in mind during nickel packages. Could it be that the ongoing icky-balooky mystery is going to help with the nickel package?

It's preseason guys, they aren't going to run anything more than basic plays.That is a hasty generalization to assume that the fans who are disappointed in the team's performance are bandwagon fans.Did you ever think that many of the "real" fans are just tired of mediocrity, and are not homers who always assume the positive, but skeptics who believe when they actually see the results on the field? Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying.why do you take preseason and use words like mediocrity and results?? God what is so hard to understand about preseason??? Its games for experiments cant you tell??? When they are going for it on 4th and 1 in their own 30? when ryans throwing the ball on 3rd and 1? When ryan throws 42 times in a half? How can you NOT see what they are doing and then take it so seriously??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you NOT see what they are doing and then take it so seriously???I don't take the preseason as mediocrity per se; I do take the post season as that though. It seems the preseason is a continuation of what occured in Green Bay; I see this and apparently other fans do to.I am not saying it is the end of the world or that the Falcons will do bad. My point in this thread that the negative nellys as some call them, are still real fans but are skeptics as well. They are not bandwagon jumpers as the OP suggested. Why in the world would anyone want to jump on the Falcons bandwagon after they got humiliated in the playoffs is beyond me? I would think that this idea of bandwagon jumping would apply to teams like the Stealers or Green Bay, not the Falcons.The very fact that people are still commenting on the team albeit the homer or skeptic and want the team to do well would be a fan as it is.

We had a bad game in the play-offs. and you cant say we didnt because if you look back we beat green bay early in the year. now if i could trade the wins believe me i would. Aaron rodgers exploited the **** out of our D Yes. he's a great qb and we just went in and didnt play. Now you tell me a 13-3 team adds julio and edwards and they are both obvious improvements how can people not think we are going to be a good team? And how is it a continuation? If we play terrible and crappy the first 3 REAL games of the season that would be a continuation of the GB loss... but you cannot legitimately say that we are going to take preseason play as serious as post-season play thats just well stupid.
