SUPER BOWL FRAUDS

Atlanta Falcons

I credit corner Dunta Robinson for telling us on the SiriusXM Blitz that he understood the skepticism and the doubters. The Falcons knows they need to win in January to silence the haters. I just don't think they are capable. The Carolina Panthers debacle was alarming. A game like that was a long time coming. San Francisco, Green Bay, and the Giants would suffocate Atlanta in the postseason. I think the Seattle Seahawks, with their great defense, power run game and wise-beyond-his-years quarterback, also could win in the Georgia Dome. No matter who they play in the playoffs, the Falcons will fall short in key matchup areas of quarterback play, defense, head coach and confidence.

Wow. Saw this on NFL.com just now. I understand the skeptics too but goodness lol. Sorry I can't link the site right now, I'm on my phone.

Wise beyond his years lol

Every team in the NFL is a fraud except the one winner. No second place trophy and no participation medal! That is why I love the NFL!

You can tell they've been saving this up all the way back since 2-0.

I can see the train of thought until the Seahawks and "wise beyond his years" part. Then the train derailed, I mean are we really behind the Seahawks and 9ers in QB play? I mean really?? And confidence? Who is he to know the confidence level of our team? Is he in meetings and the locker room?

He's mistaking confidence of the fans for confidence of the team, big difference.

I hope everyone can clearly see the media's angle on this team as they've shown their hand pretty blatantly for a good while now. Explain away, marginalize, critique, and make excuses for the other team when the Falcons win, declare the sky is falling on this team when a rare loss occurs. Meanwhile give props to other teams who have lost more games and in most cases in worse fashion. Been this way for a good while now. I'm convinced that their market research has directed them to lift certain teams and marginalize others for the most site clicks.

I just don't even bother clicking on the articles anymore. I can get the same level of in depth analysis/opinion from coworkers at the water cooler.

Atlanta Falcons: 5 Reasons They Will Choke In The Playoffs

Of course they mention the 0-3 playoff record, they even mention the teams they lost to yet they neglect to mention those teams all went to the super bowl and two of them won it. Typical.

They can't because they haven't even though history is filled with teams that didn't until they did. Brilliant insight.
