A lot of people have no ability to separate their college and pro fandom. There are Georgia fans who claim to be Falcons fans while rooting for Todd Gurley to run all over the Falcons. frick that noise.

Jake Fromm, thank you for what you've done for Georgia. When you get to the NFL, I'm rooting for the Falcons to do to you what they did to Kyle Allen on Sunday.


Damn Panthers fanbase doubled in size because of AU fans once Cam was drafted. frick that noise, light his arse up.

How did this team look like one of the 10 worst teams in league history for their first 8 games and then look like the best team in the NFL over the last two weeks?


I’d like to know this too. Seriously.

The Auburn Panthers were annoying . That 2015 game when the Falcons ended the Panthers undefeated season was a lot of fun on this website.

I've said the same about Wil Lutz. Loved him at GSU, but want him to shank every kick against us, especially as long as he is on the Saints.

Now if he wants to pull a Morten Andersen 2.0 and Koo falls off, we should welcome him with open arms.

Let's hope he doesn't. The guy has been pretty darn awesome for us thus far.

Plus, from a business standpoint, having an Asian player makes the Falcons significantly more popular on a global basis. One of our colleagues is Korean and he went from being pretty blaise on the Falcons to buying a Koo jersey and tickets to the remaining games.

Doubt it has the "Linsanity" effect, but, if he can boot the ball through the yellow post and expand our reach, I'm all for it.

I couldn't care any less about this. If he makes kicks, keep him. If he misses kicks, cut him.

Jameis should be good for 2 more turnovers in the 4th. I have faith in the window licker.

I may be the minority here but glad we lost. That 2 run streak seemed fluky for a 1-7 team. I’d like to beat the Saints on Thursday only to help ruin their playoff seeding but if we lose, I’d be ok with that too. Win win.

We need to be realistic and know that we need a new coaching staff with the best picks available for the new regime. It sucks but what’s the alternative? Win out and drop to #20 or so and keep DQ? Honestly?

so the sorry arse Falcons split with the Saints and beat San Fran on their field. I'll be honest, it felt kinda good to go over there and beat Shanny, but it still makes me sick that we are beating these good teams in a lost season, not to mention helping the Saints in their quest for HFA

To be honest, wins like these are a supreme positive for the Falcons.

One of my biggest fears after starting 1-7 is, the season would dovetail into a 2-14 disaster and we'd seriously consider blowing up the operation in aggregate - meaning, getting rid of Julio, Ryan, Grady, etc... to do a rebuild that is never guaranteed to yield results.

On talent, this team can play and win big games. The wins they've amassed since the bye are not flukes. They've been the better team in all 4 games.

My biggest thing with these guys isn't the talent, rather, the inconsistency. That's my knock on DQ as a leader. The team is maddening in the way it approaches games week by week.

The big win Falcons fans need to look at with some of our marquee wins is, this is unquestionably the most attractive job in the NFL next year. You've got an incredible owner, first-class facilities, Elite QB and playmakers, a sound foundation on the defensive side of the ball, and a draft with 5 picks in rounds 1-3.

I love DQ as a dude and as a guy who I think is a capable leader, and if we miss on Josh McDaniels I am ok to bring him back (WITH ANOTHER OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, PLEASE LORD GET RID OF KOETTER), considering the next crop of coaches and re-treads (Mike McCarthy, huge pass), are rather uninspiring.

Draft picks are cool, but I was jumping up and down, screaming like a nutjob when they won yesterday. Those emotions are what make being a Falcons sufferer bearable and I don't regret it one bit.

how many OCs do we have to trot out there before we move on from Quinn? HE PICKED KOETTER. Everyone knew it was a horrible decision and he did it anyway. The team literally got better when he removed himself from the defense I cannot fathom how anyone supports him

Yea I get the players and coaches are all in cause.. jobs but as fans we should be praying the tank for best picks and a coaching/GM change.
Haven’t we seen enough?

If your rivals want DQ to stay, that’s telling. Cmon guys. Get on board the tank train.
