This Is The Kind Of Garbge Our Team Earned Last Night.

[Hashbrown3]

We get exactly what we begged for last night... no respect.

[Culain_04]

no man, its not. losing to the titans, or vikings, or even the bucs for that matter is just one game. this is the ******* aints game. it counts as just one L on the record book, but its way more than that

Yea this one hurt

[Oldskooler]

The real question is.. What did we do to earn your garbage? Is there nothing better in your life that you spend so much time spreading gloom on this board? I haven't seen someone post so many times a day with such a negatively charged agenda since swift. What is it that you're trying to prove constantly badmouthing a team to its fans?

"constantly badmouthing"?

Before last night's debacle, what negative post had I made this season?

Even before the season, when I was predicting 4-6 wins, I was clear that it was not a negative. I pointed out the new schemes and the new personnel needing time to gel. I said that losing would be perfectly acceptable as long as the team was progressing and growing.

Well, we aren't progressing, we are regressing.

We aren't growing.

Even the coaches didn't believe in the team! Our own coaches obviously did not believe our #1 rushing attack was capable of imposing their will on the #32 rushing defense.

So again, tell me what negativity I posted prior to last night's humiliation.

Liar.

My turn:

Defeating a 15-1 team in their house to win the NFC championship

Giving the Favre- led packers their first home playoff loss. 27-7 no less

Beating the Saints in N.O. in our only playoff matchup

Putting up almost 50 against the Rams in the '04 playoffs

Want to be manic depressive, go ahead. I'm going to accept the fact that 31 other teams are trying as hard as the Falcons to win, so you take the good with the bad

You forgot ending Brees consecutive games with a touchdown streak, which I believe was a Monday night game.

Where do we keep those trophies at?

[shc]

I will say that I heard an interview with Quinn after the game, and he mentioned the fumbles. He also mentioned that they forced the fumbles, and he tipped his cap to them.

VOODOO is real.

[KRUNKuno]

It really was not that disheartening of a loss. Normally Im mad about a loss, but it's usually because we got our butts handed to us and show no fight.

We lost on our own accord. Not because the Saints exposed us. At 5-0 it had become apparent that our defense can do enough to keep us in games and that our offense when clicking is unstoppable. Last night our offense was not being stopped by the Saints; it was us stopping our own selves.

Had we got dragged like we normally would in the past I'd be all aboard with the rest of you. But that loss was nothing but a series of unfortunate events.

You guys are reaching....anybody that watched that game cannot say we got our tails handed to us. That would constitute exposure.

Every single one of those was nothing more than an empty tease that led to a greater humiliation. Nothing positive ever came from a single one of your "bright spots". All they did was fool us into briefly believing that the Falcons were actually a real NFL franchise.

Those were all lights at the end of the tunnel that turned out to be Freddie Krueger with a flashlight.

I felt confident even down 14-0 because the offense was moving the ball at will for most of the first half then shooting themselves in the foot. But then it became apparent that we wouldn't be able to stop Benjamin Watson and bleh..

[MilleniumFalcon]

It's just one game.

It's just one loss. Falcons have played poorly against the Redskins, the first half against the Cowboys, the 2nd and 3rd quarters against the Giants, and the 2nd half against the Eagles. There are too many lulls with this team where they play poorly. Don't see enough consistency to be a championship caliber team, still a season and Quinn's players in place away.

The fact that Brees had 1 td for 6 inches goes to show that even with the numbers he had, he was being generally held in check. He wasnt having a field day against us.

Offenaively we couldn't capitalize and left a possible 21 pts on the field.

We had that game even with all the mishaps, and I think the team knows that. There is no fire sale that needs to happen. We just have to clean up what it is we do.

[FalconFanSince1969]

Was it mind boggling, frightening and disturbing?

i would say Ben Watson going off on us constantly quarter after quarter would constitute exposure. Def. agree with you that we mostly beat ourselves, but i also think we were def. exposed on a few fronts, esp on D.

[TsuTsu]

The refs tho, the refs....

Even with the refs, there's no way we would have won purely based off how we turned the ball over.

[ryanadonis]

One loss after an overtime game and quick turn around to New Orleans , sorry not a lot of teams in the NFL would have been successful in that scenario. Only teams that could pull it off are Patriots

[Falcons24Hawks]

it was the number 32 running d and a 1-4 team. new orleans played last week too and someone pointed out their D played about 20 more snaps than ours, including the overtime.

so i disagree, a lot of teams other than the patriots could pull it off. one 2 hour flight doesn't put a team at that much of a disadvantage

[atl jones bro3]

It actually was just one game. Hence the reason there's 1 loss in the column l. But does it really matter who we played? I knew all along as soon as we got our first loss these types of cowardly posts would start showing up. No matter what. People were just waiting to anoint Quinn as Mike smith 2.0 because they have no grip on reality and not mature enough to handle it. This is the NFL, every team loses. There has never been a fully perfect season. Deal with it and get over it. It was a bad game overall that a lot of the fault was on our own mental errors and can be adjusted. Time to sto being a dumb little kid in fairy land thinking losses will never happen

[Gnorts]

Media will never like us till we win it all. My advice is to not read it. Unless you like feeling bad.

My *ss. 13 NFL franchises have never won a Super Bowl. Are the Eagles not legit?

If all you care about are titles, you either a) are in for a lifetime filled with far greater disappointment than bright spots, or need to go cheer for Buford High School#.

This act is getting old. One loss and were back to the dan Henning era. Good lord give it a rest

#--(Buford high wins the Georgia AA title pretty much every year. They also recruit in a way that would make the SEC proud)

[Tim Mazetti]

You forgot the playoffs vs the Packers and the NFCC against SF.

Also 26-2 loss to NYG.

[fuego]

As Falcons24Hawks observed, no: this is NOT just one game. This is EVERY spotlight game we have ever been in.

This is 1980 vs. Dallas.

This is the 1998 Super Bowl.

This game is an amalgam of every humiliation, every heartbreak, every flash of unrealized potential.

Dude, the 5th game of a season doesn't even compare to those. You really need to get ahold of yourself.

[atlantaprodj]

Dan Quinn looked like Mike Smith last night. The blank looks on the sidelines and absolutely zero adjustments defensively as his team sputtered. We could have lost to any other 1-4 team but why the ******* Stains??

Not to mention CBS running that video about the Gleason Statue and the post Katrina game!

What I posted on Facebook to a friend who put the statue pic...

I wish Gleason the best... however this was an insult to Atlanta Falcon Fans and the city of Atlanta... If I were wealthy I'd put a statue of the refugees from Katrina being welcomed into Atlanta. Somewhere in downtown Atlanta. I'd also take out billboards in New Orleans saying what a pleasure it was to welcome their friends and family to the great city of Atlanta when they needed a place to live and work. Let's put it all in perspective. As for New Orleans Aints fans they can all...

then why would you watch the falcons if you didn't care if they won a superbowl or not? isn't that the end goal?

The overtime was what? One pick-6? The offense never sniffed the field.

Did the Saints have a longer week than we did? Does time flow differently there than in Atlanta?

And YOU!!! Of all people to show their faces, after Stone's performance, you should stay in hiding until Stone is cut and sent to Burger King.
