We suck in the 3rd Quarter, and we always blow leads after half time. Nothing at all that happened that game surprised me, other than the fact that we actually Won at the end.
The problem with the Falcons is that when they stumble and start to melt-down, they cant seem to recover. They keep screwing up left and right drive after drive, like 10 drives in a row, until finally its the end of the game with 1:25 left to play, then they decide to tighten up when its almost too late.
Ive seen this team do this so many times, that we all know whats going to happen before it happens now. If we get up 21-7 against the Packers, I can guarantee you the Packers will run off 24 points to take the lead in the 4th Quarter, and probly win the game. I just dont trust this team holding a big lead. Id be more comfortable holding a small lead or tied, that would keep them playing with urgency.
And for all that, this team under Mike Smith has NEVER lost a game when they have led by 10 or more points at any point in the game.

I hear ya and pretty much agree.
Except I'd rather we play an entire game as if we're 8 points down with 3 minutes to go. If we played an entire game like we play in that scenerio, we put 40+ on the board every game.

But some talk like we always blow leads, we constantly lose close games, and this team always collapses down the stretch.

Its just the negativity shining through.
Falcons fans have been cultured to anticipate losing over the past couple decades. This leads to complete, venom-spitting hatred when the slightest thing does not go perfectly. It is harder to shake for some people than it is others.

That's why I get so mad in chat, then I get banned because you won't get rid of the trolls and tards, which are sometimes the administration of this board as well.

That's not going to be a very popular position here. Phocis and Peyton do a great job running this place. If you don't like it, go back to TATF.

Trying to keep things civil on the board and in chat is not easy , and sometimes it's difficult for the admins to figure out where to draw the lines.
But...without question, if you call another member a cunt, as you did, you are on the wrong side of the line.
And because the admins were in a pretty chill mood, you would have just gotten a warning that day, but then you had to be a smart ass with the admins.
So...my suggestion to you is.....at least learn who the admins are here if you want to continue to participate.

My suggestion is get rid of the trolls and tards and you won't have any issues with chat. People constantly bitching about how bad the team is etc, they deserve to be called that and far worse. Hell, that's not even as bad as I've seen stuff posted here on the boards with no repercussion to those posters.
