jlrfalcon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I am not happy with the outcome of today's game and agree the team will need to be improved to have even a chance like this next year.However, I am not going to completely bash the team wanting to dump every player or deciding which coach is more to blame than another.The Falcons themselves are probably hurting the worst right now and need a city that stands behind them after hard losses not one that only shows up after big wins.I challenge all true fans to post at least one positive aspect about today (or the season) in this thread.1) Julio Jones clearly had a great season that was only highlighted by his performance today - the guy makes unbelievable catches and is only getting better.

Ethos Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Falcons will make the playoffs next year but probably as one of the lower seeds. We have a great team but the problem lies with Mike Smith. I don't think we'll ever win the big one with that guy as our HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 This is total BS! True fans react differently. Just because this is how you react doesn't mean everyone should. But I understand your thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great team but the problem lies with Mike Smith. I don't think we'll ever win the big one with that guy as our HC.So who can we win with? Who else can even go 56-25 in the first five years to get us to the position to win the big one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux city falcon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 What does this team need to do to make the next leap. I'm tired of the process at this point. Let's get some defensive line help before we waste the talent we have on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rounz Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I know there's a popular thought that if you didn't win it all, you're a loser.Well enjoy being miserable.Do we stand a chance next year? Who knows? Right now our odds are 1 in 32, just like everybody else.Who knows what moves we'll make in the off-season.That's why every new season is so exciting (as long as we're not back in the Rankin Smith days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy_Falcon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Ok let's ignore out defense then and pat our offense in the back, it worked so well today right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirteebirdee Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Proud to be a fan of this team. Lets fix it and try again next year. Go Falcons!,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCEagleATLFalcon Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm trying to be positive. I'm trying. I realize that we were only a few points and yards away from the Superbowl, and that's not a fluke. I saw some incredible things on offense against a very, very good D. And I saw our defense smother them for the first quarter. There are obviously positives in there.But, honestly, all I can focus on right now is that I'm practically in physical pain I'm so upset.We were so close.So d*mn close.

Kilgore Trout Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There are no true fans. There are only fans, and all of them are pissed off and few of them want to be positive right now.Doesn't make anyone less of a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hustle Up Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) This is total BS! True fans react differently. Just because this is how you react doesn't mean everyone should. But I understand your thought.Totally agree, people should voice what they feel. Everybody doesn't have to agree. It crosses the line when people start overreacting, calling people names and acting like lil b#itches.I do agree with the OP that it would be nice to keep some more positivity but we really shouldn't accept being losers. This one stings. Edited January 21, 2013 by Rebel_Falcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyDawg Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Extremely proud of the Falcons this season, regardless of the outcome. I've been a loyal fan since the Van Brocklin days. You guys who moan about not making the Super Bowl this year and thinking you know what to fix and/or tweak... you don't have a clue how lucky you are to be following the Atlanta Falcons during these heady days when the playoffs are almost a given. Just like the bad old Braves. Back then, they were a joke. The Falcons and Mr. Blank now are serious contenders every year, and that's as good as any other team on the field.Great job, guys. Get some next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongSufferingFan88 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Our receiving core is the only positive aspect of today's performance.Everything else is absolutely suspect. The QB, the coaching, the defense. Everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealSwift Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I understand where you're coming from. Being a Falcon fan is always going, well there's next year. Until the day you die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconDrifter Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The only thing that will help this team win a Super Bowl is to move it out of this **** hole called Atlanta. The fans here suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyakita Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 He'll I'm pissed but I don't reduce myself to blaming one person for losing. We came out strong, the. 9ers countered, we had our chance to win but came up short, sure we got hosed by the refs but **** if we didn't have a shot. As much as I think the NFL wants a Harbough bowl, I'm hoping the Pats f their plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcndave Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 We have got issues on defense. We have age in the secondary, and a well below average line. Outside of Spoon, we have 'dime-a-dozen' type LBs.We need to find a FA or two and draft a bunch of youth. I think on offense we can get buy with a journey man RB, one interior OL, and a TE. We need to go to work on the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
