sandtrap Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Watching this team is stressful, tiring and infuriating at times. I've lowered my expectations for the rest of the season. I just want to see this team win on Sunday. Forget any future expectations for the rest of the season or even playoffs (playoffs? PLAYOFFS?). The coaches may have lost us but I don't believe they've lost the players. The plays were there to be made. If we can correct a few things, tweak some others and reduce the penalties there's no reason we can't beat the cowboys. Here's to one game at a time and rooting for a win on Sunday. EDIT I think some took this the wrong way. I'm not saying there's zero chance of us getting to the playoffs. I saw a thread about us and playoff chances and though to myself that instead of thinking about that and being disappointed that our chances are dwindling to instead focus on the next game. It's Winable. I also hope the players and coaches are thinking like that as well because if they look at what our expectations before the season we're things look really bad. If we can win one game we are back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiruz Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I probably won't watch them this week. This season has really been a huge letdown. I thought the light turned on for us, but nope we failconed it away. I'm watching bball instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkerFalcon8710 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 By my tally we’ve left about 60 points on the field during our 1-4 streak with either dumb luck turnovers or dropped passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't count on the coaches not losing the players confidence, when you're celebrated a season ago as the best QB WR RB CB LB DE etc. and now are a laughing stock at every game you show up at NFL player's egos will find someone to blame, the only ones they CAN blame are the coaches that have remained. We have no clue what internal strife is going on in the locker room, but I bet you there is plenty. And it's showing on the field. The buck stops at DQ.

octoslash Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'll forget the playoffs when the Falcons are mathematically eliminated. It makes no sense to do otherwise. I'm a fan and they're still alive. (Yeah, I know, I said we're not going to win more than 6 games...but we're not dead yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to tell everyone how they should feel about the rest of the season. You are entitled to your opinion. But like everyone else, you know nothing. The Falcons are in the playoff hunt, that’s a fact. Fans have a right to be hopeful and optimistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second line is a pretty sick statement to make. Maybe you should consult some rape victims and ask if they agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki46dinah Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 THEy are playing like garbage as a team, and will likely be eliminated shortly for playoff contention. My three biggest unexpected player letdowns; Matt Ryan, Poe, and Trufant Ryan is playing scared Poe is at best an avg NFL starter on our D Trufant is mucho soft, and not a good fit in our D imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call 'em like I see 'em and many sports writers are saying the same things. The only ones high on this team, and think they are PO contenders, are homers.
