TheFatboi Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The power is shifting in the NFL and we're one of the power teams. Granted we still have to show up in the playoffs but this team has grown up and found some heart. It's gonna take some time to get used to. Especially for older falcons fans like my father with all the years of frustration, but this is not your fathers Falcons anymore. Let's keep supporting these boys and ride em to the playoffs thru the Lombardi. #RiseUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysnill1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 man I NEEDED this win. I'm surrounded by Eagles fans. I'm so happy we left no doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Like myself as well. It is hard for me to let go of the losing culture that I have endured since the 70's and my first game with my dad in old Fulton Co. stadium. No matter what, I always have doubt. But this year I am just sitting back and enjoying the ride. I have doubted everyone from TD, Smith on down to Ryan and many others. But glad they are proving me wrong. I have never wanted to be wrong so much in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 man I NEEDED this win. I'm surrounded by Eagles fans. I'm so happy we left no doubt!Yeah me too. I have to collect 50 dollars and sodas tomorrow morning. And I can also let the Eagles fans who were saying that you do know that we are 13-0 after the bye, that now they are 13-1.

I am Still a 100% Falcon Fan... I fly my colors proudly and this year is one of the best I have seen since Reeves took us to the Bowl.This time however I have much more faith.... The Birds are hungry, The coaches Feed them... and the wins keep coming.This is not to say we won't lose a game...

I have never wanted to be wrong so much in my life.You're off to a good start so far PA. My dad is the same way. We go back and forth everyday during the offseason. He had a liability list that consisted of Ryan, Turner, Robinson, Bierrman, and Smith. So far he's crossed Ryan and Robinson off the list. After today Bierman may be working himself off the list.

youngbloodz Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I agree. This team is a force. 7-0 in the NFL is very hard to do. We could all be witnessing something special. Enjoy the ride people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the ride peopleI know special when I see it or feel it. This is definitely something special floating in the air this year. When we drafted Ryan I told my best friend we'd have a ring in 5 years. This is year 5. I need Matt to make good on my prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loleven though he only got 58 yards I'm glad we gave the rock to Turner. glad we got Quizz involved too. keep feeding these guys and soon enough they gone eat. and that's with the passing game ...

putnam6 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Falcons offense is legit even with running game issues. If the defense tightens up and tackles better they can play with anybody. NFC is still tough just keep taking care of business every week and stay healthy. 7-0 just win baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl927 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've watched the Falcons a lot of years. This is the first year I haven't relied on hope. No more saying "I hope we win" before every game (and expecting the worst.) This team is legit. I expect this team to win this year. Ryan can hit anybody, any time. Nolan can send anybody at the QB, any time. It's obvious.Legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Falcons ran the ball, and stopped the run.Awesome day, especially since nobody gave us a chance at this game. We weren't 6-0 by luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerSteve Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This was the dominating, no-doubter, azz-busting, Pretender-drubbing, ESPN and NFL Network sport jock mouth muzzling, signature win this franchise has been needing desperately since Mike Smith and TD came to town. This is the type of win that a dangerous team can build on and become a championship team. I'm trying to search back into my age-decayed, feeble brain cells to recall any other win in decades that could compare to this one. Not just in how badly this particular opponent had owned our souls through the years, or what it would mean in the standings, but in its potential to propel this team to a possible berth in a Super Bowl. I can't think of one. This is beyond epic. This is biblical in breadth, width, scope and significance. This team has given us old farts the chance to turn our eyes away from the failures and embarrassments of the past and allowed us to feel the pride and joy and confidence that we've seen on the faces of the fans of all the great teams. Now we know how it feels to have a team that can and will show up and punish anybody they play, whether it be at home, on the road, in a back alley, whatever. It's quite a feeling and I'm really, really enjoying it and I'm really, really looking forward to every minute of every game the rest of the season.

Magic Man Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Coming away with a win today means we have 9 more chances to prove to the NFL how dominant this team can be. I'm of the mind we have nothing to fear but injuries and lack of execution. The talent and the coaching is there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
