Falcons off-season thread

This reminds me of Falcons vs. Saints last year. Both games came down to the very end and Saint won both of them. You know how their season turned out after that.

It was a good game and this is what I was explaining to most of you fans, (mostly ATL, since he is ignorant). Anyways it was a good comeback by the Falcons. I was disgusted at Stovalls tackling effort on that return. That was a routine tackle. I'm not going to come in and rip on the INT by Grimes call because honestly, it was inconclusive so it may or may not have hit the ball. IDK, it did look like he rolled over it, but who knows.

Falcons have a chance, but I still wouldn't say they're the best in the NFC. All do respect, the Saints are hitting their stride on offense and the Eagles are a much better team with Vick. Packers are among their too. But if Atlanta gets homefield, which it looks like they do (they will definately win atleast 2 of their last 4 Carolina), so it will be interesting to watch.

I can't wait till the Saints play the Falcons later this season. The game will be awesome and quite possibly for the division.

If Atlanta is so good, why haven't they blown out or smacked the Bucs in the mouth? Each game has been a down to the wire game. You fans really don't have respect. Atlanta escaped with a win today and were outplayed most of the game. I give their special teams a ton of credit and really disgusted that Stovall couldn't make a routine tackle. Also, Matt Ryan really took advantage with Corey Lynch out of position on that 3rd and 20. The Bucs were in cover 2 and he wasn't in positon. Both of those plays really turned momentum around for the Falcons. Grimes made a nice break on the ball on that INT in the end, but I still don't know if that was a pick (and know one really will ever be able to tell).

Looking forward to next year's intense battles

Funny. I don't have respect? Go back to the last game we played and even during this game and find one negative comment I made about your team or fans. I only starting trashing you guys when I was getting neg repped and a couple of your fans (notice I said a couple instead of an entire fanbase) started coming in here acting like idiots. I understand some of our fans antagonized a couple of you but you guys have just as many of these types of fans as we do.

I've never been more happier to change the Thread Title then just now.

A) We get rid of the Bucs fans
B) We are playing the Panthers

Speaking of the Thread. Is this the greatest game thread(s) on the internet? Im very certain it is. Page one was ironically created on Matt Ryan's first game back in 2008 vs the Lions. There is a lot of good, bad, and ugly stuff along the pages. Ok, more ugly then anything else, but there is a good reason why there should never be another gameday thread around here.

I like these team battles. I remember back in 2008, the Bears invaded this Thread, and it got real ugly. I think most of them are still banned from ever coming back here again, thanks iloxy. We won that game in the last second and we have the amazingness of page 49 from it.

[Bosanac01]

Brent Grimes has absolutely been sick this year. He sealed the win for us today. The whole season he's had the tightest coverage I've ever seen. I think I've said this before, but we have the best secondary in year. This pic suits Grimes well.

That's a personal attack on me and this is trolling in our thread. Lucky for you, I'm not going to be a little ***** a go running to an admin about it. I'd just like to say though, you really need to toughen up a bit guy. You keep bringing this up as if I raped your mother or something. It's a little trash talk and some honesty, stop being so ******* butt hurt about it.

Yes, the only sign of a good team is blowing everyone out. Excuse me, what's your record against us this year? 0-2? Ah, I see. What's our record on the year? 10-2? Yeah. That's why we are so good.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

And a little something from Abe via twitter

"Thanx for the hats TB we enjoyed the game 10-2 RISE UP"

[Bosanac01]

Haha that's good stuff.

[Bosanac01]

Interesting fact. Freeman had 7 incompletion when throwing it 1 v 1 Grimes'es way.

[dunagan15]

Grimes stepped up big time this game. I am his biggest hater and Im loving the guy right now, great great job by him.

Still so many issues though before Ill feel comfortable going into the Saints game and the playoffs

[Bosanac01]

For such a bad game by Matt Ryan, the pass block was great.

Grimes stuck to Mike Will like Glue. Most one of the most underrated CBs in the NFL today. Still not sure that was a INT, but that was one heck of an athletic play and break on the ball.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Please stop trolling in here or I will be forced to report you.


And I found this particular gem to be pretty damn funny.

Enjoy these (lucky) wins while they last because you're not making the Super Bowl this year and this Bucs team will only get better.

[Draft King]

I don't understand Brent Grimes. Sometimes he is so awesome, but you look back and he's being burnt for a TD.

The hardest part of being an NFL CB is being consistent. Grimes has had his best year yet, and I'm shocked that he's continuing to get better, and we are finally realizing his full potential.

[Bosanac01]

I don't understand all the Bucs trash talk. They are 0-5 against teams with a winning record this year.

Falcons have 2 loses vs Steelers and Eagles on the road. Toughest places to play. They kept all the games close, but they are winners and it's not a coincidence they win week to week in the same fashion.

[dunagan15]

Im really hoping we land a guy like Allen Bailey late in round 1

[Bosanac01]

Allen Bailey is nice, but there are too many guys that rely on athletic ability in college and fail in the NFL. I wouldn't complain with that pick though, I really would like a pass rusher.

[Draft King]

I ******* love Allen Bailey. He does have slight bust potential, but from watching him his entire college career the guy is an absolute beast.

[Bosanac01]

We just need some crazy players on defense. No pussies like Jamaal Anderson. Bailey fits that crazy description.

[TheFalconsFan]

Anyone see ESPN First Take today?
Skip Bayless says he sees the Falcons as the 9th best team in the NFL

Thats motivation for the rest of the season.....

[BamaFalcon59]

I wouldn't touch Allen Bailey.

One of the most overrated players in the ACC over the past few years.

[D-Rod]

What we need is a pure speed rusher. **** the run, we've got plenty of guys who are solid against the rush - Biermann, Anderson, Davis. We need someone who's going to scare QBs on 3rd down. I'm looking for an Orakpo like guy, someone we could put at LB on run downs (if necessary), and on passing downs stick them at end and say, pin your ears back, go **** up the QB.

For example, Von Miller... or Robert Quinn if somehow his missed year sees him fall. Other options include Ayers, Kerrigan (though less of a pure speed merchant), and Houston. I'd be comfortable trading up with a 3rd to pick one of those guys.

[Bosanac01]

I think Houston's stock will rice considerably just as Brandon Graham a year ago. He has great speed and pass rush skills.
