MOST OF THIS BOARD WAS RIGHT!

[Gold4425]

Ok the Coaches are the Pros. They see these guys in practice every day. BUT, BUT some of us have been screaming for a bigger back (Ollison and Hill) to get some snaps.. Some of us wanted Morris back coaching defense. Some of us wanted someone else besides DQ to call the defense. Some of us wanted Grace, Gage and Blake to play. Some screamed for Kazee to go back to Safety. Some of us felt Larkin deserved to make the team and earned some playing time. Some believe TBJ and Hageman can help us. Some wanted Graham to play more.

At the end of the day it is the FO'S decisions. We are just fans on this Board with opinions which can run from A to Z but looking at this team NOW, I have to give it to you on this Board. YOU GUYS WERE MOSTLY RIGHT. Why did it take so long for the FO to see it?

The negativity around this place earlier in the year disgusted me. YOU GUYS MADE ME WANNA PUKE. 

And THEN that "Falcs Playoff Chances" stat came out with a One Percent chance of making the playoffs. EVERYBODY AROUND here jumped on that bandwagon and once again, you guys made me sick.

I stuck by the Falcs and told all ya'll that the Falcs would Rise up in 2019. My reward for my stunning prediction was . . . nothing.

Now NOBODY around here wants to puke, except for Frank, who just tried his first mouthful of Copenhagen. Good luck, Frank.

The people on these boards are weird. The Falcons are 3 and 7 is all I know.

Do you actually say “Falcs” when speaking about the Falcons? Hoping autocorrect is typing for you...

I hate to break it to you. It you are now included in the people on these boards.

I don’t think anyone called this season right.

I predicted we would get out of the gate slow going  2-2, then start playing better and we should be clicking on all cylinders  after the bye week, but I had no idea we would totally suck games 5-8, and be as bad as we were games 3 and 4. 

I also knew we had talent on the defense to play like we have the last 2 games. The defensive collapse up until Saints game was the most bizarre part of a crazy season.

 Not only that, but obviously he has no idea the years spent as fans..showing up at the Dome 5am Sunday mornings just to get good tailgate spots.. The trash talking irl with Saints fans on Sundays in the Dome.. If you're just a tv fan you'll never understand the emotion it is to be a game fan, at the Dome.. The highs like walking out of the Dome when Bryant kicked the field goal when we beat the Seahawks and the many lows walking out of the Dome after shameful defeat.. Some people wonder why some of us here react the way we do? Youd just have to be there to understand

They're just like the average person. You need a title or certificate to validate something to them. A guy can be a truck driver, and know more about football than an NFL player, but people would go to the player first for advice.

Well put. Or remember the days when you didn’t know or you would loose?  I know that’s every game but at least now we are in regular playoff contention.  No more going to the dome and getting beat down. It’s a more consistent product now.

Hey buddy, I’ve honestly been so disgusted and out of answers for what happened to this team I’ve just pulled back. I was really sick to my stomach thinking 1 or 2 more of Ryan’s prime years would be wasted, demoralized is the correct word for where I’ve been.

But then Falcons played to their potential against Saints. I was still not sold,  it after beating the tar out of Panties it looks like we may be where I thought we’d be by now. I just didn’t think we’d suck so bad first half of season. 

While I’d love to have a really high draft pick, I’m much happier now seeing this team is realizing its potential. I hope we win out now, even if we don’t make playoffs.  With these young guys playing so well including Oliver, I’m now hopefully we won’t have to start over next year.

That is the exact thing I said in another thread,, I'd rather we learn how to win for next year, No matter what draft pick we get.. We need to use the rest of the season and learn what works and what plays and philosophies to throw off  the Train !!   Where we draft is not that big a deal anyway.. Some times it helps them to just stick to what we need most. And that is what we should do.

Hope we win out and build the confidence in this team.... And hope our Coaches learns how to guide this team in the future.

Yeah I was licking my chops over a top 5 pick but if we keep playing this well we don't need a top 5 pick. If the defense finishes top 10 for the second half of the season I'd like us to move up for Brown or Delpit.

Good to see you back on the board. How about Hooper? I was hoping to see him lead all t.e. in receptions at the end of the season and break 100. Talk about a break out season.

I appreciate it my friend. That’s my feeling, is we don’t need it if we keep balling like last two games. A lot of young guys stepping up in Oliver, McGary, Sheffield, Kazee,  Graham, Ridley.....I also loved what I was seeing from Lindstrom before he went down.

Hooper was clearly breaking out. Coaches and teammates were all saying last offseason he was still developing when he made Pro Bowl, and that sure proved to be the case. 

What a crazy season.

Pretty much sums up where I'm at.  When we looked like garbage, I turned to hoping for a really high draft pick, but in the big scheme of things, that would mean our team was a long way off from being good.  If they have truly figured things out, the future will be a lot brighter.  I'm hoping we run the table too.

And quicker, which is my hope. My God I was demoralized thinking we were going to have to go through more coaching and key personnel changes wasting more of Ryan’s prime years.  

If we play like this (most of) the rest of the season, a whole lot will be on place next year coming out of the gate including young brimming talent continuing to blossom.

I like our backfield now as well. If we had Ito healthy we’re good. Watching our young receivers develop is great. Next year our “O” line should be nasty. And “D” can play after all.
