Faith is described as "Complete confidence in something or someone."

In the last 2 important games that the Falcons have played, the home playoff loss against the Packers and today's embarrassment against the Bears I haven't seen anything that warrants any faith coming from me about this team.

Things will look better next week. No way we lay an egg at home on national tv prime time.

I hope that you're right, but I'm in "I'll believe it when I see it" mode right now.

Youre ready to hand in your fan card?

Im not quite there but I AM looking forward to our home opener next week. Dont count the Falcons out yet. We played the Superbowl Champs and the #2 seed our last two games.

The falcons looked like maybe they were a little drunk on the koolaid. I thought we were a better team than that but hopefully we can get out of this early season gauntlet 3-2. Hell even 2-3 is sounding good enough right now.

I am despondent. Our personnel just cannot be that much worse than an upper level team in the NFL so what is it? OC, DC or HC? This offense does not scare anyone and the defense allows 10+ yd completions at crucial times.

I have excitedly waited 9 months for what?

How the hell are we supposed to win a SB if we can't beat either of those teams?

Doesn't mean he's given up. He's probably a shut up and show me fan. Dudes been a fan through worst games than this.

Shit like that falls off of me like water off a duck's back.

I call it like I see it. If that means I've "turned in my fan card" to someone I really don't give a shit.

Why are you talking about winning a SB at all? Let me guess; some talking head told you we will be more explosive and pass for 500 yards every game?

We didnt win it last year, but this year is brand new. Every team has changed. Hopefully we are one that has changed for the better. We DID beat GB during the regular season last year. We have beaten the Bears since our new regime took over.

Im aware. We have all seen terrible let downs in the past. I still believe our organization is on the right track though. I am certainly not ready to say we will have a losing season this year based on a lopsided playoff loss and a bad season opener.
