Guest JoeSr Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I do not understand some of the backlash the Falcons are receiving from the posters on this board. I understand constructive feedback and criticism; but, there is a fine line between that and outright ridicule and foolishness. I get frustrated as a fan as much as the next fan; however, let's not act like we do not know our team. We talk about this game as if we do not know our team. We are not on the level of teams like the Patriots, Colts, etc; at least, not yet. This is the purpose for pre-season. Personally, I felt we did well tonight. Smith mentioned we utilized 70% strength of playbook tonight; plus we were without DRob, which shows his importance to the DB corp. I come here for intelligent, thought-provoking discussion. If someone disagrees, fine, but there is no need for foolishness such as Matt Ryan: worst QB in division by end of year. I want to enjoy this place.

nomak Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 They are the uneducated football dwitts who trully believe that pre-season is a time two go undefeated so they can go to the other teams blog and brag. But the reason for pre-season and the meaning of it has been made clear by many and the dwitts still don't know when or how to just stop breathing and leave us in peace.

Abe Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There is a lot of new posters on the board lately. I too thought we played well. We seemed different and exciting on both sides of the ball. We had a few mistakes but I believe we did well.I can tell that teams will have their hands full when dealing with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, this is the worst kind of insult from a Falcon Fan.Ok, so you highlight one sentence of my post without taking into consideration the full embodiment of my post. Wow :mellow: back at you sir. People are a trip. Read my entire post with understanding with the intent to understand my perspective and then get back at me. This is how foolish arguments start. People can only see things through their eyes and them proclaim you are not a fan of your team because you speak your opinion.SO, yea, Wow :mellow: back at ya buddy.

To me, this is the worst kind of insult from a Falcon Fan.How is it an insult? Why, because it isn't what you agree with? How mature. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Someone disagrees with your point of view and twist your words, logic and divert the intent of your posts/threads. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I feel like a troll by the treatment I've received here so far. If you disagree with someone, or vice versa, then you must not be a fan and a troll, negative nancy or something crazy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very encouraged right up not being on the level of....etc...etc. It's all good though. Certain things you say and certain things you figure out how to say them another way. But it's all good.

Falconsken Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 best bet bro... just stay away from this board on game day... It's likely to be down anyway. 2nd just try not to bother till like tuesday from a sunday game all the negative none sense will have filtered a few pages back.. Now if we loose you'll see some negative discussions but nothing like youve seen right now right after a PRESEASON loss. Im just bored tonight that's why im putting up with it. But welcome to the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper Realist--Who point out areas of discussion to debate and discuss the football they love.Downer realists - point out areas of concern, just to take the wind out of everyone else.trolls - we are gonna suck no matter what, and they love it if the Falcons do badly.

FalconMama Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The best way to enjoy this board is to learn to ignore. I read the same threads just like you and if I think it's ridiculous I exit out of the thread and keep it moving. If you get up in arms about every little thing posted that you think is negative then you won't enjoy the board.People love to complain about trolls but continue to give them a platform by giving them the attention that they crave. Simply keep scrolling down and don't bother to respond. That's the only thing I can think of. It's quite clear that the moderation team isn't going to do a thing about them so you have to make the best of it.Don't let them ruin your experience with this board.

Pathetic.As a Falcon Fan, since 76....I've never said that my team was inferior to another...ever. You wondered and complained in another thread about this thread being pushed off the 1st page and I actually had simpathy for you, but when I got to that part of your thread, as a Falcon Fan, I can see why it was there. Why can't you just receive that? LOLOL... To call yourself a Falcon Fan and say that we are not on the level of the Patriots or the Colts...etc...is bad....really bad.

Falconsken Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 the vick fans are the worst... seems like they are the most un-educated bunch on here. The ones who say cut ryan for vick... I personally dont know how any real falcons fan can love the dude after all this bs he's been talking about what he thought of atlanta...

Supes™ Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 For some reason it can all have a different feel on these boards than it does in real life. I have a good friend and neighbor who I've known for 17 years. Ken is a Steelers fan and always has been. He called me after the game tonight and said "Looks like your Birds are gonna suck again!" We swapped a few insults, I gave him a good cussin', he cussed me back and hung up on me.We're going fishing together Sunday evening.

You gotta take the bad with the good. I've been on longer than most but not as long as some. There will always be haters & trolls no matter what and they're very vocal, but there's also some great and knowledgeable fans in here that make it all worth hanging around for.
