Eye of the Falcon Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 For all the talk about the elite teams--- dominant teams -- What do they have that we don't? A no nonsense HC Smitty may be too involved with what should be left to the coordinators. If one or both are not cutting it , get another. A locker room full of real starter types who get mean and stay mean for 60 min on game day. We seem to have a compatible locker room but not all have a consistent will to focus and play physically and with the intensity to give that kind of effort each game.It will never be exactly that way,but the closer a team gets to that model the more elite and dominant they will be.

PokerSteve Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 What does it take to be elite? Hard work. Fanatical attention to detail. Talent. Chemistry. And last but not least, a head coach who can bring creativity, aggression, charisma, motivation and inspiration to the team in practice, in the locker room and especially just before and during a game. We're still woefully lacking in the talent and head coach departments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanATL1988 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 can we do away with the word "elite" and while we are at it let get rid of the word "swag". I hate when people say swag. Its got to be the dumbest word ever invented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomak Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 42 playoff wins and 32 superbowls...unless you are Matt Ryan and it would take 62 playoff wins and 82 superbowls. Even then it would be debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconinPA Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 All it takes to become elite is to do something that impresses the folks over at ESPN. Win a game that you weren't expected to win, or in our case a playoff game. Win the Lombardi, and we should be on our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamill Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 More than anything studs on the interior of the OL and DL. We have neither.This hits the nail on the head. If you can pressure the opposing QB with your front four, your DBs wont have to cover as long. If you have great pass protection, your QB doesn't have to hurry his throws. Championships are won in the trenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
