I have never heard the word TROLL so much in my life. I would love to hear how im a troll when I have not missed a FALCONS game in over 25+ years and missed weddings and funerals cause of this football team..I love the Falcons more then anything outside my family .

Is my posting NEGATIVE agenda driven ..probably ..but when your a fan of this franchise for this long where just about anything can go wrong has and now you have uneducated young fans that have only been around for the short success lately they drive me fucking crazy that everything is glory and if you say anything like the SECONDARY is a fucking joke..YOU get negged


A LONG TIME ago on that Falcons board ..I screamed to high heaven Vick is not a hard working QB he will never be great under this kind of system and effort he puts in..I was called a racist ..I had pms threaten me and guess what it turns out in the long run I was dead on ..

You're not "negative". Jedi is "negative". You're inflammatory for the sole purpose of seeking attention.

Clearly because you've taken some time off, some folks here have begun to forget some of the insane drama you've purposely caused. Calling you "negative" is an insult to people who are legitimately pessimistic by nature.


That said, this is preseason and we look 100x better than last preseason. The first 2 games we didn't show all our cards and we were evaluating rookies more heavily because of the shortened off-season. In the Pitt game we simply played our 2-minute offense and not a true game plan, which IMO is brilliant. Like we're really going to throw 84 times in a game normally... not.

Our first team offense, while not even utilizing Quizz (a change-of-pace set) and missing McClure for 1 game, has scored 43 points in 5 quarters while our first team defense, minus Robinson for 3 games, Edwards 2 games, and Peters 2 games, has only allowed 27 points (24 of which was against an elite team). And again, all while not actually playing against the opponents actual game-schemes and experimenting with ours and certainly holding a lot back.

Yes, we have a serious issue at NB/CB depth. Yes, our safety pass coverage has sucked balls. Yes, it's irritating we have not had many sacks. Yes our pass protection for Ryan still appears average and we're worried he still won't have enough time to throw. Yes, dropped passes are disturbing. Yes, TG looks slow as hell. Yes, Turner looks the same or possibly slower. Yes, why isn't Quizz getting used with the first team more. Yes, why have we only run 1 screen so far. Yes, why is BVG still running this soft-zone predictible blitz crap. And yes, why is MM still not doing what we want.

All those are legitimate concerns that all of us has. But the thing is, it's freaking preseason and we had far greater concerns at this time last year.

There's still a chance we pick up a good CB to play NB and add depth once the cap casualties hit. And all the other stuff is explained away with the fact it's still just preseason and we haven't come close to playing like we will ultimately be playing in the real season.
