I would actually consider this a refreshing and interesting viewpoint had this fanbase not already spent 6 years making the exact same excuses for Michael Vick.

It's not going anywhere, it just looks like it is.

I think we should petition the NFL to create a regular season champion trophy and we can call it the Schottenheimer Trophy and it can be awarded to the Falcons at the end of every season in which we have a winning record. We'll put it right up there next to the Back2Back2Back2Back Trophy, the Back2Back Playoff Blowout Loser But It's Okay Cuz You Made It Trophy, and that California Championship Trophy Glanville had made in the 90's when we beat 3 teams that played in the state of California.

Contrary to popular belief, banging your fists on the keyboard while on a Falcons message board is never, ever, ever going to change anything, ever. Literally everyone on this board could up and say that the Falcons should fire everyone under Blank and start from scratch, and it wouldn't change a thing.

So please, drop the stupid, "you accept mediocrity, this is why we lose" talk. It's always been a bullshit line used by people who want to blow everything up when things don't work out perfectly.

Having a Super Bowl ring and having a winning record in 19 playoff games isn't impressive? Having a Super Bowl ring and a winning record in 14 playoff games isn't impressive?

That is in no way comparable to Matt Ryan's 0-3 record and looking like complete dog shit while doing it.

I don't even understand the comparison.

Besides that I agree with the back to back winning season I don't give a rat ass about them

I made a thread here about 10 losing season and the eleventh a winning SB season or 11 winning seasons with some playoff wins but no SB wins. I'd take the 10 losing ones hands down but have that one SB win ... not everyone sees it that way though.
