We are IN the playoffs. Yes, seeding would be awesome, but really are full focus is our first playoff game. Staying healthy and working on specifics are what we need to do.

However, I want to punch the Giants in the mouth next Sunday. I bet the players and coaches have this game marked as THE final game to play lights out this year. This game will show how ready we are.

I hope you're right. I would love to see the Falcons smack around the Giants. Especially with the Giants coming off smacking around the Aints.

But my pessimistic side (which I usually only contain to real life) is coming out and I don't see any way this game won't go down like the playoff game did last year. Our OL has gotten worst as the season has gone on and the Giants DL has been getting better.

But whatever. Sorry if somehow I hate seeing the Falcons get embarrassed against a division opponent and then come on here and have people tell me the game doesn't mean anything.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! HELLO?!

I dont think you are listening to what you say about that game.

We all agree it was an embarrasment and not how we want to play but some of us arent equating this to somehow mean we are doomed.

I never said we were doomed. Never said that it couldn't have just been a fluke. Just saying there was absolutely no effort on Sunday and so far there's been no public accountability from any of the players or coaches.

You know what I want? I want the 2008/2009 Mike Smith back. The guy that would get fired up on the sidelines when the Falcons got screwed by the refs or would jump players faces when they did something wrong, whether it be his team or the other team. Where's that guy at? I've seen very little of that guy the last 3 years. Bring me this guy back.

Ah for fuck sake I just typed out a thorough thorough post respectful well documented and everything and my fucking browser crashed.

Fuck it to summarise

I counted 6 instances this season alone of smith showing fire

Be mindful he had heart problems and actually holding his tongue at times might be causing him more harm than good but it causes his players more harm the. Good to be getting in their faces when it ain't going right.

As smiths record shows. Being second only to BB, he gets it right most of the time.

4 out of 5 years if this falcon generation we been in it to win it.

Achieved this whilst re building a roster

Since 08 draft never earned a draft pick higher than 19. We traded up for Julio. Think about how difficult it is to both build a team keep it playoff competitive and actually achieve that when that team has been built out of those last 5 years and barely nothing before that.

More I could say. Ask me and I wil say it.

Yup... ask Asante how he feels about Smitty. He made a great play then caused a penalty and MS blew up on him. People were pissed he did that, but MS was correct in doing so.

Hey whatever. Sorry but I'll never accept any loss laying down the way the Falcons did on Sunday.

This is the last post I will make on Sunday's game. It's Tuesday. Time to move on.

You don't have any choice but to accept it. It happened and there is nothing you can do about it. The team can but that has nothing to do with you or I. So it's up to them to find it unacceptable and honestly we have no way to find that out. Basing it on a coaches demeanor in a public press conference is silly.

I always find this notion of fans finding things their team does unacceptable as kind of ridiculous. Ok you find it unacceptable, but what does that mean really? You don't accept it but now what? Usually when something is found to be unacceptable an action taken but other than quitting being a fan there is no action to take. All this complaining and hand wringing is completely pointless and a big waste of time, especially when all the team's goals are still there in front of them and very attainable.

A win is a win and a loss is a loss. Style points don't matter.What happens next is the only thing that matters. If we go 14-2 then no, this loss doesn't matter, pride doesn't matter none of it does. You think if we host the trophy guys are going to say "well its great to be world champs and all but that loss to the Panthers really puts a damper on my celebrations"

All of this is just a huge overreaction to a bad loss. This does show why the ESPN's of the world exist, to serve up the drama that apparently people crave.

Exactly, when he got all into Assante's ass he was to much of a tyrant, now he's soft. 90210 soap opera worthy.

Good Post!

Didn't he once get into and get fined for a fight with DeAngelo Hall? The man has fire, but he also is a real pro. He will not lose his cool. He is the best coach this team has ever had.
