fansince78 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The team was not clicking on all cylinders. In fact they were sputtering and spitting worse than a 75 Ford Maverick for most of the game. In spite of that, they found a way to win and that is the mark of greatness in the NFL.

Camaroman58 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Agreed..but I don't think I have EVER been so FURIOUS about a team as this years team..we HAVE THE WEAPONS!!!! We HAVE THE TALENT!! We HAVE THE COACHING!! This game should have been lopsided in favor of the Falcons..BUT it's typical birds..struggle with the weak teams and excel against the elite...who knows??? Championship teams find a way to win...

fansince78 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 40 seconds on the clock, starting on their own 20 and everyone was looking at overtime...everyone except the Atlanta Falcons. Complainers want a dominant game, well...that will come soon enough, but today was a bad game all around except for what matters most. I invite anyone to look back at any team, in any season that went on to win it all. Find a team that did not find a way to win the ugly ones.

I don't think it doubtful at all. When we play the Eagles in two weeks, I would not be surprised if these posters who want to see their "dominant" team get what they want.

phattywankenobi Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 They were misfiring all over the place. The thing about this team though is like many occasions I'm sitting in the stands thinking we can pull this out and in typical fashion it's in the last minute of the game. It makes the sitting in traffic much more bearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Raiders defense came to play. If anyone really watches the game. Ive gone back and watched it again. They came to play.Raider's did not come to play,,,they came here to hand us our hats.This game was a BRAWL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcndave Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 For years I watched us actually lose to bad teams. That hasn't happened outside of a division game or two in the last 4 years. Just once I would like to see us impose our will on someone...I don't care who, just someone. That said, I am proud of this win as well.Ryan is becoming a legend in his own mind on those last drives this season. I mean that in a great way. You 100% must have a QB who thinks he/his team can't be stopped in those situations. If he hasn't said it yet, he'll say it soon: "I never thought we were going to lose that game."

This game was special to them because of the Falcons record and reputation this season. They gave it their all and then some and the good guys still came out on top.

Karst41 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The Raiders would not fold.I am happy the Bryant salvaged the game, because theywould have got us in OT.I also think that this game was a good azz whuppin for usto go into the bye week.

In fact they were sputtering and spitting worse than a 75 Ford Maverick for most of the game. In spite of that, they found a way to win and that is the mark of greatness in the NFL.It is the mark. I remember some years back when Mora Jr. had the team starting hot, only to let the team fall back to earth with a terrible second half, and terrible play from Vick.The season is a grind and sometimes bad things are going to happen. Luckily for us we have a great team that is overcoming the set backs. Great win to today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcons007 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It would be a lie if I said I am not disappointed today with the game. However I am proud of how the team found a way to win the game. The biggest thing about this game was how defense won the game with the pick 6,fumble return by Ray to 3 yard line. Now I want to see the special teams chip in when the Offense and defense are struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
