Miller2Rison Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I see a lot of people who are saying if we lose to Vick were just 0-2 and this game doesn't matter much and this and that.If that is true, when Deion cam back in 94? I think, i attended the game i was 10, we lost like 45-3. To this day a lot of the older fans STILL hate deion sanders for that.So how is this just another game and don't mean much? Im guessing a lot of you were not around back in the prime time days.On a side note, as much as i hate vick for what he did (mostly what he did to the dogs not the falcons) He seems a little bit more humble than deion was when he came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerSteve Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Vick has been extremely careful to say all the right things this week. He has matured since he was QB here and he's a lot better at handling the media. He's well aware that a lot of intense hatred remains in the hearts of the vast majority of Atlanta Falcon fans, though there's still a small, idiotic band of groupies who think it's somehow cool and hip to worship at the feet of a wanna-be street thug because he's also a football player.This game is big for Vick because he would like to laugh in the face of the haters who will never forgive him, but it's even bigger for the Falcons because of how poorly they've played as a team since the end of last season.Depending on the outcome, this game could "live in infamy" for Falcon fans for years to come. It could even be the trigger for drastic changes in the organization and on the field if the Falcons really stink up the Dome this game.

Miller2Rison Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 haha yeh i guess deion could talk a little more since he was never convicted of torturing medium sized animals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Vick is told what to say and how to handle certain questions. He hasn't changed as much as he let's on.He still slips out lines like "I played lights out (haha)" and "All of those fans still love me" type lines that I bet make his publicist cringe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl927 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I saw primetime on a fishing show back in the day. He was skewering worms on a hook, then catching bream. It was just brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked Deion until he got with the Cowboys. As for Vick, I respect him as a football player but as a person, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 The thing about Deion is he fought one of our WR during the game (and got the best of him) then came down and snatched a pick in front of the same WR danced down the field to the endzone and started talking smack pointing at our sidline and laughing while he was running towards the endzone. So Yea ppl still hate him for that. If Vick comes here and punches Grimes in his mouth, then runs a TD and starts doing the Durty Bird in the endzone taughting the fans he will never be safe in Atlanta again.

I'm pretty sure he was safe partying in Atlanta that entire week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fair to compare Vick to Deion. Vick was a MUCH bigger figure in Atlanta. Vick royally ****** over the Falcons, and his fans. Deion just left for another team after not being offered another contract. How are they compared? Were you around in the Prime Time days?
