One of my customers is from Atlanta; I emailed him regarding the big win and his reply was "Everyone down here hopes Green Bay loses, we'd rather give up HFA than play Green Bay"...............

So yeah, Atlanta and me being from the fucking northeast has nothing to do with it.

And the fact that Rodgers is currently playing out of his mind gives some merit to that, but that still a fucking loser mentality.
So because the fan is thinking ahead about matchups, it means he doesn't give a shit about the team?

I doubt it has happened that a team has started a playoff game with three TDs on three offensive possessions. Maybe with turnovers or something. But those are three long drives.
Of course it has. For one, the OIlers scored TDs on their first four against Buffalo in the comeback game.

I hate Beesley on principle that he shares Edelman's number and is off compared to him despite being a shell of the player Jules is.

Polian might be having a coronary watching what's being allowed in pass defense.

Surprised Dallas isn't bludgeoning the Packers nickel package with Zeke.

Also noticed that most of their runs have been quick hitters, not a lot of off tackle/stretch concepts.
 
I didn't say Atlanta had to win the super bowl. But getting a bye and having the likely league MVP starting at QB losing in the first round is a bad result for the season. When the Pats lost to the Jets in 2010, were people cheering about how great a season it was?
No, it really wouldn't have been. The defense is young, and we thought the team was maybe a year away, and the team outperformed all expectations (most of us were thinking 9-7 at best). A loss would have sucked, but it wouldn't have rendered the season a failure.

I can assure from having spent a lot of time on Falcons message boards that not everyone in Atlanta hopes Green Bay loses.

Best RB in the league, they had plenty of time. Why not go big on first down?

Bit of a rushed snap by Ladouceur, didn't like that look. Could've easily thrown Jones out of synch, and that never ends well.

Also, those ad prices, yikes, 4000% inflation from 50 years ago. That's frightening on so many different levels.
