Forget the Playoffs

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

That's a lot of assumption right there.

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)

last year packers 4 - 6 

& we are still  a better outfit...just need to fix mental errors.

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

That second line is a pretty sick statement to make. Maybe you should consult some rape victims and ask if they agree.

Look up NFL teams who are mathematically eliminated for the playoffs. You'll find that not only are the Falcons in the hunt, they can still win their division. Lot of season left. You can be Debbie downer all you want. But there's no need to consistently tell people how wrong they are when you in fact don't know for sure what's going to happen

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

I'm not being a homer....where have I said in the last week that I think the Falcons are an elite team? I'm stating FACTS. The Falcons are in the playoff hunt. How does stating a fact make me a homer? Let me guess, you think you're being a "realest." :rolleyes:You're actually just being very negative.

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.
