Dusty Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 At this moment we are the only undefeated team in the NFL. Regular "Joes&Jills" like us have enough common sense to understand the differences between this team and ones of the last 4 seasons. Having said that, the so called "experts" are hesitant to jump on board and give this team it's deserved credit due to past playoff failures.So in my opinion, if you can't understand that the past does not dictate the future in sports, then DO NOT all of a sudden develop a whole bunch of faith in Atlanta should we win the first playoff game. Don't write articles about how dominant this team has been all season when all season long you were too pu$$y to support them. I see it coming!When this team has post season success, the doors to the bandwagon should be locked! Take note; look at whos' writing all of the "wait and see" articles and watch how the tune changes to "how prolific they were throughout the season". That goes for some these so called "fans" around here too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutofyourFalconmind Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 This has been my viewpoint for quite some time now....Do I really want Chris Berman, Heath Evans, Warren Sapp and Keyshawn Johnson sucking up to the Falcons?Hellnaw....They are certain people who you don't want liking you.

Finally Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 You can have your 2 cents back because this is a business. Everyone that jumps on the bandwagon helps sell the brand. You don't have to like it but nobody cares.People jumping on the bandwagon helps people like me that are not in Atlanta to see the games. It helps sell tickets. It helps sell merchandise. It helps Blank believe he made the right choice.We can be media darlings next year with longtime haters and nothing would make me happier.Get off your high horse. We have crapped the bed every year and given everyone a reason to doubt us. We should change that perception and then CELEBRATE it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some major components that are a part of this team that was not here last year. People like you are what I like to call "CheerCowards". You are afraid to stick your FalconFan neck out for the squad just so you can have a built in excuse should we lose again in the playoffs. If we win, just be sure to keep your sourpuss threads rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about more recently when we had a great regular season record, secured the number 1 seed, and then lost to a team that we beat a few weeks prior?It is not exactly smart to have been a fan of this team for 34 years. I am waiting for payoff which I do believe is coming soon but I can't fault people for thinking the other shoe will drop because it has ALWAYS happened. I trust this team will re-write history but I don't blame anyone else for thinking otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, also, think that their support makes this a better franchise regardless of what they have done in the past.

If you are a homer, stop being a chicken. EVERYBODY here is aware of the whole post season fails. The true fans don't sit around and worry about it. As for the outsiders who are holding out until we show up in the playoffs, I still say don't bother. AFMB should pass out profile icons to identify the pre-playoff win fans of this current regime.

fuego Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) It's going to be a bitter pill for the media to swallow when we win playoff games this year because they still won't like us or respect us and their excuse will be taken away. So they'll just be putting on an act after that when they praise us. Edited November 11, 2012 by fuego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Its been so much fun seeing Media get wrong every week picking against us.

You don't get to decide what is a true fan and what is not. I am not a chicken but I can excuse anyone who is waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don't think it happens this year but I am a homer.I welcome any fan. Bandwagon or no. This team has never earned the loyalty I have shown it for over 3 decades. I can't fault anyone for missing out on this misery. If we get 10k new fans that buy tickets and merchandise so much the better. Bandwagonners are only really bad if they bail on a team in an off year after they have had true success, something we have not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A point that the "I don't care what the media thinks" has failed to answer. If you don't care what they think you don't care if I see the games. If you want to be that selfish go ahead. I am probably a fan until death too. 2007 was a shaky year for me but I came back. If I can survive that I can probably survive anything.

How much do people talk about how great the Bills were when they went to 4 straight Super Bowls? Uhhhh NEVER. And y'all are probably too young to remember but Chuck Knox and the LA Rams won the NFC west (NFL West actually) like every year in the 70's , the Cowboys or Vikings beat em in playoffs every year. Then the Vikings went and lost 3 Super Bowls. Nobody talks out them either. Gotta win one to get respect. What a great Party on Peachtree that day will be !
