BrandonDell_ Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We had our franchise torn down 5 years ago and td and blank have been rebuilding our team from the ground up, offense and defense. In 2007 we had no GM, no qb and a head coach that skipped out on us in the middle of the night. It was truly one of the lowest moments in our franchise (and that's saying a lot). No coach wanted to come to our train wreck of a teamBlank brought in dimitroff, then mike Smith. We had a rookie GM a rookie HC and a rookie QB. Of course we had growing pains. We didnt have multiple hofers on our defense and one of the best GMs in the league already on the team.We aren't were we need or want to be but that looking at how LOW we were just 5 years ago were we are now they have done a remarkable job rebuilding this train wreck. Td and blank get a lot of **** for not having a sb after 5 years but they have been great overall. Definitely proud to have them.Now rise up. Its going to be a great year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lubba Lubba© Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Great turnaround from a humungous disaster. So many different things went wrong that season (could things be completely different right now had we not traded Schaub?) that it's crazy it was all turned around in one offseason.

falcons007 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I honestly thought it would take 3 season to rebuild from the night mare of 2007, either make playoffs in 2010 or fire TD and MS if they couldn't get it right in 3 years. I was not happy with drafting Ryan either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Meh. With where this franchise was five years ago, when you get right down to the nitty gritty, there was literally no where to go but up from that point. Ying-Yang, what gets flushed down will eventually float back up, etc., etc. But we do seem to be on the right track, with some minor exceptions.

ProFalconFan Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The front office did some great things in a short period of time. Bravo. I think people need to add Turner to that list of events that made 2008 a turnover year. Without him I don't think we accomplish as much.

TeamPlayer1 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 With a bunch of Reeves and McKay players.Well, the Falcons were 4-12 with that stud az Reeves/Mckay team in 2007. If Dimitroff and Smith go 4/12 in 2013 you will have a stroke! Trust me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me!You've been around for a good minute. What's up man! Like your post. Can't understand "fans" from bygone years of crap hating on the team, management, or organization. SMH. Makes no sense.

jimifalcon Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 we got a taste of what it must be like to be an Oakland fan,or a cardinal fan,a good year every decade it seems,then a revolving door of #1 busts and the perennial cellar.We had our expectations raised with the super bowl run and the Vick years.It's been good to be a Falcon's fan these last 5 years.

didz Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 No fan of any franchise can say they have had a year like the Falcons did in 2007. The nightmare, embarrassment of a year that seemed like it got worse each and every day. Michael Vick made this team the joke of the league and Bobby Petrino only made it worse. 2008, was the most magical season I have ever had as a Falcon fan to this day. I thought that team in 08 had so many great things about them, they could of gone deep in the playoffs if it wasn't for the Cardinals match up.
