Falconsfan567 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just said we need to give the Falcons their due respect. This used to be a team that couldn't even put together back-to-back winning seasons. Now they are contenders. They are not the same team that went 0-3 in the playoffs. They changed both coordinators and have 12 wins. If this were some other team that had 12 wins we'd be all over them but because it's the Falcons we don't give them respect. That needs to change.

falcons2338 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Chris Berman just referred to us as a young team??? How the heck are we a young team. He was corrected by Keyshawn who said we had many vets at skill positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demburds Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 People are really buying into Nolan's scheme and our ability to create turnovers. Everyone already knew we coud put up points, but that Giants game turned a ton of heads. For one night we looked better than any other team in football, and they are trying to mentally deal with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It's the truth. It's lazy and stupid to fault the 2012 Falcons for the failure of the 2008, 2010 and 2011 Falcons. Currently, the 2012 Falcons are the best team in the NFC recordwise. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was corrected by Keyshawn who said we had many vets at skill positionsBecause we are a young team. The Falcons average age is 26.8. While we have some veteran guys we have only 13 guys that's 30 or older. 9 of those 13 are starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergo Proxy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 We have veterans in key roles/positions but ATL had one of the youngest defenses in the NFL back vs the Packers in the 2010 playoffs, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuggle'2 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Finishing up my drive north and listening to the pregame show on the radio. Larry Fitzgerald just said he expects us to play the Broncos in the Superbowl an win it all this time. He said its our turn and really believes we do it.

But we got Jones, and that #11 is the next best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
