I'm glad we don't get respect at this point. It gives our players incentive to play with a chip on their shoulder and work harder so they can shove all the disrespect back in the pundit's faces.
I honestly can't wait til the end of the season when we're hoisting the Lombardi and giving the proverbial middle finger to all the haters and then listening to them all fumble over their suck ass crow eating.
This is our year guys. We're on a mission and winning with purpose.

The Bills teams that lost four SBs still get respect because they did something no one has or frankly will ever do again: they went to four straight SBs. That's how you earn respect. You either win a ring or you consistently win in the playoff to be in a position to win a ring.
This Falcons era has excelled at the regular season. The media has in fact changed their outlook on us. Much like with the Saints there is no more talk of "OMG look at these lovable losers finally winning and those fans deserve it" and other thoughts along those lines. Now we are held to the highest standard: we EXPECT you to in in the regular season and we EXPECT you to at least win some playoff games. We have not done that. Once we do then things will change.
Any Falcons fan who thinks differently is honestly deluding themselves.
The Bills are laughed at for making it to 4 straight Super Bowls and not winning a single one. Just like the Braves are laughed at for making it to the World Series 5 times in the 90s and only winning 1 of them.

Both were great accomplishments and for that to get laughed at like you've performed like the Cleveland Browns is just idiotic.

Yep. There are so many other teams that would have loved to have done the same thing. Both were great accomplishments. It's so stupid when people laugh at that.
