Guest King Jigsaw Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Typical response, this board has a click of like 15 people that have no life that sit here and try and paint everything with rose colored glasses. Knowing that these are same people that watch the games on TV and never spend their hard earned money on tickets or parking or concessions. A click of people who pick on new posters and anyone who post anything that is remotely close to the TRUTH about the Falcons. It is one thing to be a board monitor and monitor people making harassing statements it is another thing to nail posters just because they have a different opinion than your. Just because someone calls it like it is does not make them a TROLL.Clique* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iEmbrace_life Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't think OP is declaring that he won't be a fan anymore, just that he and his clan in sec. 121 will no longer buy season tickets and spend money. I get the frustration. Being a fan of Atlanta/GA teams is scressful bruh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingslasher Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Such a descriptive title, you simply know what the post is going to be about, then the thrilling prose hits you and you feel the kinship and I actually started to cry.Sorry, that was a typo.

Atlfanstckndenver Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I meant Dan Henning after Leeman Bennett not Dan Reeves. Thanks for catching my typo.lol @ typo, but nonetheless, I would like a super bowl trophy myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdbrain24 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Guys I have to come out and say, I love the Atlanta Falcons. I remember being 8 years old in 1978 watching them lose to Dallas in the playoffs, then again 1980 when I was 10 years old I cried when the Falcons lost again to the Cowboys in the playoffs. I thought that was our year. I had my Falcons jacket with the white leather sleeves and the snap on buttons. Then I went thru the Leeman Bennett firing, the Dan Reeves dark days, got excited again with Glanville and 2 Legit to Quit until we got stomped by the Redskins. I have been supporting this team a long long long time. I have one thing I want to say. I WANT A LOMBARDI period. I am pissed that New Orleans AND Tampa got one before us and I am REALLY pissed that Arthur Blank has sat back and not FIRED anyone in our front office. How he can sit back and expect us to pay MORE this year for seats while he has not FIRED one GD person in his front office has me fuming. I have been a season ticket holder a long GD time and the fact he expects us to just sit there and take it while he keeps people like Rich McKay, Thomas Dimitroff, and Scott Pioli employed is an insult. If Blank wants us to stand by him and this franchise he needs to do what the LOYAL OLD SCHOOL Falcon fans want. Blank needs to stand by his fan base. I and my peeps in Section 121 and 122 have been thru this before with Reeves to Mora, Mora to Smitty and we are going to give you ONE more chance with Quinn but if it doesn't pan out in two to three years and we still have NO LOMBARDI and you still have McKay sitting in Flowery Branch WE WILL BE GONE. We will not write an article in the AJC telling you we are sorry, we will not get a billboard out front of the stadium demanding McKay be fired we will just LEAVE. We have stood by this franchise a long time and we have endured a lot of heartache now its time for this franchise to give us what WE want and that is a GD championship. No excuses. No more coaching changes. Get the players, win the trophy, or take your PSLs and eat them.I feel you devotion to this team for the many years. You say you will give them 2-3 more years to get a Super Bowl victory, so does that mean you are locking into psl's ? Are you one that's pressured to buy the psl before this season even starts or would buy one on the secondary market if they succeed?? Just curious from how your statement is interpreted because in order to committee to future season tickets in your current seat you must sign the contract (this year).

peterpiper Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Birdbrain, I have committed to PSLs. But a lot of people sitting around me have not. They have told me they are going to gamble that Falcons do not succeed and Quinn falls on his face and then Falcons will have no choice but to revisit this PSL bull. I did not want to chance this. However I am not happy in the least with the fact that Blank still has the same front office people. I don't see this as a recipe for success. I like Quinn but honestly I liked Smitty I thought our problems were more personel based than coaching. I think Smitty was put under a lot of heat last year. If I remember correctly when Smitty first got here we were a run first team with Turner, and we succeeded. But it seems like after Green Bay beat us up we changed our whole identity and this was not Smitty's style. To me I think Smitty was being told from up above how to coach and I think he got thrown under the bus. But yes I have paid for my PSLs.

To me I think Smitty was being told from up above how to coach and I think he got thrown under the bus. But yes I have paid for my PSLs.I totally agree...we were a BETTER TEAM !!! when we ran first. We managed the clock and didn't have to keep our defense on the field as long (while ranked the top rushing team in the league).I'm glad we are changing back to it from what they are saying.There is no comparison of watching a football game live, tv is a substitute but only the game goers know the big difference. My two major thorns that keep me questioning of buying the psl's are: (1) The Falcons all time fan base doesn't fill the stadium 100% unless playing a top opponent or us having a great record (one or the other).Other than that you can purchase a decent seat in the stadium. Bases on our 50 yr history our team has been up and down, but more down than up!! Making me to believe that rising cost of tickets and cost to purchase tickets do not meet the teams current direction and this diverse city will not support these prices over the long run. Making it cheaper to purchase psl's on the secondary market later,( ex. see cowboys psl prices now). (2) For my current seat for the last 23 yrs ,there is NOT going to be a comparable seat in the new stadium to it! Yes I sit in row 1 and if I sit in row 1 in the new stadium there is no comparison . The new era of club seating is taking over. Just as the Cowboy stadium is designed our Stadium is designed with club seating in front of the 1st row that now making the official 1st row back to the 5th row or so on. I have enjoyed these seats for the purpose of being that close to the field ( getting footballs , see players up close, and tv exposure). NOT any more !! making these seats not as appealing. The price is higher and I'm sitting further back.Tough Choices coming!!! Edited June 16, 2015 by birdbrain24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiruz Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If winning a title is the only way to keep you as a fan, then your not much of a fan. We all may get angry and say things, but my Fandom is not measured by titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
