octoslash Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The only thing the Falcons are "in the thick of" is the quicksand that began sucking them under with...yet another...blocked punt in the New Orleans Urine Dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Having watched live how lifeless they played in the 2ND half vs Indy, the playoffs seem a looong way away. The ONLY thing in ATL's favor right now is how bad the NFL is. 9-7 will secure at least one wildcard spot, maybe both. But where are the Falcons gonna get 3 more wins, playing like this? @JAX and the season closer vs NO seem to be the most likely Ws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Since all but one of the respondents so far have given up on the team, I trust they will not be hypocrites and claim the team is giving up on them later this season.

Guest Dirty Bird Nation ® Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's so funny I post a factual article that states we are still in the thick of the wildcard race, and everyone responds with raw emotion, bellyaching and whining.It's so funny that you think people don't already know that statistically we're still in the wildcard race. We all know that the Falcons currently have the 6th spot, but unlike you we realize that this team hasn't played like it's capable of maintaining that spot so is likely going to lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we've given up on expecting anything from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I don't think any reasonable person thought we were going to the playoffs at the start of the season anyway. The 5-0 start got all the people that are whining now full of sunshine and rainbows. What good would playoffs do anyway? One and done? This team is in year one of a rebuild. Some of you need to start repeating that to yourselves over and over until it sinks in and you actually get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconJim Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 In the thick of it? Hahaha!!! I'd say we're in the THIN of it, and by the skin of our teeth! Seriously, I would NOT be shocked, if we went 0-7 these last 7 games --- I mean, I'd hate like heckto see that happen, and I'm sure I'd pi$$ and moan like I normally do when they lose. But hey, we just don't have the personnell we need right now, to seriously make a run at a Super Bowl. It'll take at least a couple of above-average drafts, and some great FA acquisitions to even make asizeable dent into what we'd need to do that --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 While we'still in control I think everyone will agree we need to see improvement to think we have a realistic shot to get into the playoffs....

WisFalcon Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's so funny I post a factual article that states we are still in the thick of the wildcard race, and everyone responds with raw emotion, bellyaching and whining.All It will take is a good showing against Minnesota and a W and things will stop being so emotion driven. Honestly, the falcons are 10-0. They have beat the eagles, giants, cowboys, texans , redskins, falcons, titans, falcons, falcons and falcons.....If they stop beating themselves they will be fine.
