This is what happens when you're a little too quick on the draw to crap on the Falcons. Not sure where he thought the Falcons were making fun of anyone...

The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If the Eagles blew a 28-3 lead that would be more funny. But 17-0 in the 4th Quarter is pretty bad, and worth ridicule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I give lengthy responses Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 2 hours ago, Sun Tzu 7 said: The Falcons are synonymous with blowing leads. This is the lasting legacy of the Falcons. "The Eagles sure Falconed that one" It's even in the Urban dictionary. Falconing The act of blowing a great opportunity in tremendous fashion, like the AtlantaFalcons blew a 25-point second half lead against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51. The Falcons have other incidents of tragic missteps in their franchise history, unique to any other pro sports entity. "That girl you was with looked like she wanted you. What happened?" "Bruh, I told her that her roommate looked good and she kicked me out of her apartment." "Oh ****! You were outchea Falconing." #atlanta falcons#sports#mistake#oops#my bad#folly by Father O'Twins February 09, 2017 Can confirm that I use this term, and "pulling a Falcon", in my daily life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcanuck Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 As soon as all my friends started texting me congratulating me on the SB win, I knew the Falcons were about to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honest to God, a play later was the strip sack, the beginning of the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrndzombie Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 the worst. But what a great 2.75 quarters of football. also its nice to be a fan of a team that tops the charts in something. Say what you will, but no team can collapse like the falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUsualStuff Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 34 minutes ago, WhenFalconsWin said: Same here. My wife told me congrats at 28-3 they/I finally got our SB. I SAID NO! Don't say that, I said if we made it 31-3 then yes, but not 28-3. As it turns out I was right. Amazingly I have an almost identical story.... I yelled something along the lines of "WHAT THE &%#$ ARE WE DOING??!??!" when it was 28-9 and my wife told me to be quiet because it was over. I knew then it was over... for us.

papachaz Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 7 hours ago, Peyton said: Mark Twain's quote about three kinds of lies....lies, d*mn lies, and statistics, applies to this chart. In my heart I knew the Falcons were going to lose this game when the Patriots tried an unsuccessful onside kick down 28-9, then the Falcons picked up 9 yards on first down, then Matthews got called for holding and they didn't even manage a FG. It was at that moment I said "Oh....here we go again. the second free missed that block was it for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCEagleATLFalcon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 1 hour ago, papachaz said: the second free missed that block was it for me.... YUP. Until then, I actually still felt pretty good. We all get so focused on 28-3 (when there was still over a full quarter left) that I think we forget it was 28-12 with ONLY HALF A QUARTER LEFT TO PLAY. Half a quarter, and they needed two touchdowns and two two-point conversions. UGHHHHHHH. Freeman picks up that block, and it probably IS over, even if the pass fell incomplete (it was certainly over if completed for the touchdown). But that strip sack gave Brady the short field and the momentum he needed, and he never looked back. I knew we were in big trouble with that fumble. I had one more moment - the Julio miracle catch - where I was once again certain we'd won - "Oh thank god, we salvaged it." But as soon as THAT series went to ****, I knew for certain we were done. The Pats' own miracle catch on the next series didn't surprise me a bit. Nothing after that surprised me a bit. We were done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard2BaBirdWachr Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I knew we were in trouble when the Pats kicked the 1st fg for 3. We were seriously kicking them in the balls for an ENTIRE HALF, shutting them out and then once they started moving the ball successfully I just knew it was about to get ugly.

I knew we was in trouble when Brady stopped crying and started to look pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
