What has caused the city of ATL playoff curse?

Well it won't end this year...Falcons won't make the playoffs and Hawks aren't doing shite in the east. UGA may win out but this'll be just like 05 where we win the SECCG and stay at home. Would be the most fitting.

Maybe Braves or Falcons next year...you gotta just stay with them and it'll make it that much more sweeter in 2028 or whatever.

Hawks haven't had the players to compete in later playoff rounds. Falcons ran into powerhouse Philly team in 2004, had a rookie starting on the road vs Kurt Warner in 2008. Beyond that, there are no excuses for the Falcons from 2010-2012, especially the 2011 shitshow. But the Braves are the worst. They kick arse in regular season and get home field, where they proceed to lose Game 1 every time. There are no excuses for them; the pitching hits the shitter (Garcia was great tonight though) and the lineup becomes about as potent as the Astros or Marlins. It's pathetic

As was said in the braves thread it's simple. Billy Payne sold Georgia's soul to the devil for the Atlanta Olympics and now the city and UGA have to pay the price.

Atlanta has no money....

The Hawks, Braves, and Falcons have seen multiple playoff appearances since 2000

You have to go further back than that wee one. The Bravos and Coons started in 1966. Hawks in 1968.

There has been one championship, Bravos in 1995. They played for several in the 90s and should have won more than one.

You have just witnessed by far the most consistent run of the Coons, although they may be on a downward spiral now unless TD improves his drafting prowess. Exeception would be the SB defeat at the hands of Denver and Elway under Reeves, although they promptly had a losing season the next year. I actually think they had the best team in the NFL in the early 80s when they lost inexplicably to the Cowboys in the playoffs after knocking Staubach out. Replacement Danny White lead the Pokes back from ~14 point deficit in the 4th quarter. They were 12 - 4 that year.

Hawks has a brief success stint under Fratello in the mid 80s when they were pretty good with Dominque, Spud Wedd, Tree, Kevin Willis and Doc Rivers at point. Fun, fun team. Lost game 6 at the Garden to a Byrd lead Celtic team on an unspeakable miss at the buzzer by Cliff Levingston. Why they left Levingston take that shot, I will never know. Still pissed about it.

I won't even speak to the Flames and Thrashers.

So, now you got the high points. It hasn't been easy and yet I persevere. The Bravos are out, so are the Coons, the Hawks are the usual disaster, the the Dawgs are so beat up, I don't know if we have a receiver left.

Go Dawgs!

I blame Sherman.

Worst Week in Atl sports history

Braves eliminated from Playoffs
Falcons lose to the worst team in football
Dawgs lose half their offense

Hell even the ATL Dream lost their first playoff game

Hawks lost




Even GT lost (this is a positive)

that is rough

Well unless you don't consider the Jaguars a team anymore(I wouldn't blame you if you didn't), I'd say they are the worst team in NFL history.

We may be second. Jags get Bridgewater and we get Clowney
