Nino11 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) I’d be lying if I didn’t mark this off as a win but boy I feel every emotion there is watching this team. Difference is I never feel like we are out of it until the very end. Boys got some fight just need a couple more pieces to be a serious contender. We are punching way above our weight class but I think we attract some good free agents with what we are building.

I’ve watched them come up clutch against Cleveland and lucky against the Panties. Nearly come back against the Rams and get robbed against the Bucs. Only game we didn’t have a chance in was the Bengals. I’m realistic, you won’t win every game. I’ll I ask for is for them to at least have a chance to win as a fan.

Especially when I have low expectations Yeah I don’t expect much from them this season. Win or lose I just want to see them compete. I remember what that season was like after Vick was suspended. That was unbearable. With some draft capital and Brinks truck full of money to spend next year I’m cool with not making the playoffs or making them this year. The foundation is being built but I don’t think we are serious contenders yet. No need to get too upset at losses. This team is different even in losses JDaveG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosts of Glanville Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Today sucks and there is plenty of blame to go around. But some of y’all gotta stop acting like the Falcons are the only team that ever screws up. Most NFL games are decided by one score and every losing team can point to mistakes they made. And dredging up losses that happened before anyone on the roster was even born doesn’t prove anything Rhodaric, MisterC, ChickenBiscuit and 5 others 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no business winning against Carolina. Gotta be able to take the good with the bad. Ball doesn’t always bounce your way. Exciting to me is not knowing the outcome before they lace em up. We can win every game we play in. I’ll take that vs knowing we lost before the whistle is blown rounz and VTCrunkler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenBiscuit Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Our fans are salty that we don’t win every game but truthfully this team was projected to be in rebuild mode without a clear identity or any real answer at QB. Many projected us to be the worst team in the league but instead we have been competitive in every single game. The team is FUN to watch just not for Falcons fans that are emotionally invested. I always cheer for this team but my expectations every given year is based off of the rosters potential, and this team has completely exceeded my expectations in almost every way.

But if you take a step back and see what they are building you can see that this team in 2023-2024 is gonna be a fun team to watch.

OrthoPTSD Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I was thinking the same thing, certainly more than I expected this year. At least we have a ground game which blows my mind based on how bad the passing is Nino11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have people texting me saying how tough we are. That hasn’t happened in years lol. If we sneak into the playoffs we are gonna upset somebody but we can’t be upset if we don’t make it. Now expectations next year will be sky high and we gotta start producing though. Vandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everybody is all emotional after losing a close one but you gotta be excited thinking of the future. No such thing as a good loss but you gotta temper your expectations and enjoy what’s being built before our eyes. We are playing with house money this year we aren’t supposed to be a game under .500 halfway through. I think we actually finish with a winning record this year though.

Ghosts of Glanville Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Problem is we’re doing just well enough to fuel unreasonable expectations. They will win between 7 and 9 games with half a roster. Overall we’re in a much, much better place than 2020 The Don™ and MisterC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when you’re ready to throw the towel in they rally and make it close just to break your heart or make your week lol.
