NFL  > Atlanta Falcons  > Atlanta is back
December 18, 2008, 01:36 AM
A motley crew indeed. A virtual smorgasborg of men who play with heart. They now play for a purpose. They are a true team now. Not a whole lot of distractions. A man's man for a coach. Just look a guy in the eye and ask him to lay it all out on the field. That is what they do. They WILL themselves to win each time they walk out of the locker room. With a few wins under their belt against some tough division rivals, they now know what winning tastes like. Confidence breeds nastiness. A good nastiness. Not an arogant, or selfish nastieness. A nastiness that says..."we ain't your guaranteed W from here on out brother" When you have Atlanta on the sked, buckle your chinstrap and be ready for a scrap. We fight to win so you best gameplan well for the new Falcons. Not a good feeling for the Panthers and Bucs. I am very much looking forward to see what the magician does for this next Draft... Yeah Dimitrov, just keep quiet and go about your business. We know your lookin' at a few gems out there... Just sit tight in the tall grass until Atlanta's number is called. Then make your selection. Yep, just like you did in New England. Just like you did when we nailed Brady, ummm, I mean Ryan. Lofton. Free agent turner. Our big left tackle, you know the guy we reached for in the first round... yep Baker. Uh huh, right down the line... think about em' boys... go ahead and start rubbing those hands together in anticipation. Knowing, we're gonna keep loading up... so we can open up a can of whoop**** of course. C'mon guys, think about it. Each week we are thinking to ourselves...hmmm, can we take these guys out this week?... they got a pretty good team... then the boys come out like a pack of wild dogs and we begin to read the articles during the following week from all the media outlets... yep...They're even beginning to like us because we were the underdogs who fought our way out of a real dark alley. Yep, I just keep readin' and smilin'... With the (insert a fairly high number less than 32) pick in the 2009 draft, the Atlanta Falcons select...you hear that? What? That noise? Yep... it's John Grudens stomach acid churning while he ponders what that magician is going to pull out of his ****, ummm, sleeve. Later gents...

VERY funny and inspiring. As I fan that remembers Steve Bartkowski, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, William Andrews, Jeff Van Note, Tom Pridemore, etc. on through the "prime time" years and the "dirty bird" years, I can honestly say that I haven't been this excited in years. The turnaround in the ATL in remarkable...spiritual even. I predict good things ahead. And for everyone that wants to reference the Falcons' past as a predictor of future results, let me remind you all how the Braves were perennial losers until they got a proven, competent GM to make some moves. Sound familar? God help the NFC South, boys...

I'm on the edge of my seat every week watching the falcons. With a couple of big plays and lucky bounces they could be up there with the Giants and Panthers. I think they are a couple players or three away from the super bowl, but you can't complain about this surprising season. Anybody else noticed Jerious Norwood has been a bit tentative the last few games. I was expecting bigger things from him. This is the time of year when the true gamers step up and he doesn't seem to be.

Don't fret about Norwood. Did you see him take that swing pass from Ryan on the play that Ryan dazzled w/ a fake counter/pitch then put the ball right on the money so Jerious could catch it w/ some momentum? He was a rat-hair away of high steppin in the end zone. Without getting too fancy the **** are slipping a few plays in to confuse the D. This type of stuff works well w/ overly agressive defenses. Against a good run D like Minnesota, we may see a few more passes out of the backfield to turner and norwood. Harry Douglas might be in the fold too. He as been a little quiet as well. This game we might need to throw first in order to loosen the running lanes rather than visa versa. We must block Jared Allen. Abe vs Allen, Turner vs Peterson. We have better recievers and that will be the difference. Draw plays to Turner may work. Lets do it O line. Get r' done. Nothing could be finere than a quiet Metrodome. If we can get out in front early, Jackson will have to beat us throwing it. There isn't one dude in the ATL that can be dissapointed this year so far. Win, lose, or draw, this week, we are wired for sound! Is it Sunday yet? The only thing that sucks for me is that here in Houston, I never see our team. You'de be surprised how much one can get in to a game online... chow mein...
