...............For fueling the fire. It was dwindling there, but the fire will be back up and brighter than ever this week with all the articles coming out saying how we've been "exposed" and how we are "frauds". Not to mention Falcons organization talking mad sh*t over a regular season game. If this doesn't light a fire under our players/coaches asses for the rest of season (including postseason), then I don't know what will.

This loss will either be the game that pushed us over the top to make it to the superbowl or that crushed us and ruined our season. Like I said in another thread, if you can't beat the Bucs at home with home field on the line, we don't deserve the playoffs. Nut up boys, home field is on the line next week!

Life tends to go in cycles my friend.

This is no different than in 2012 - when the Falcons were the #1 seed, had beaten the Panthers and came fug-Off-Our-Field-Gate

Panthers came back the next time at home, beat the Falcons, and celebrated like crazy.

Fast forward a few years,

Now the Panthers are the #1 seed, beat the Falcons, and committed Sideline-Picture-Gate

Then the Falcons came back, beat them, and celebrated.

A bit of hypocrisy going in here imo Panthers fans. 

 

Really bro? After ONE meaningless regular season win, you sign up to a rival's forum to talk sh*t? Pathetic Falcon fans are pathetic.

Falcon fans and players have the right to celebrate. Whether or not they take it too far. If we beat a 14-0 Falcon team after losing to them 38-0 then I'd be going hysterical right now. However, I seen nothing wrong with Cam and Co. Celebrating and having fun during our 38-0 shellacking of the Falcons. I could see why the Falcons would. They were destroyed, beat down, and humiliated. They won round 2 and IMO their coach acted unprofessionally. If they would have took a team photo as a mock, then fine. But the coach shouldn't be screaming trash talk at opposing players. Even dabbing was fine, but not directed at opposing players. (In their face) Yes Cam did so in Tennessee but he did so because the guy came at him. Diff scenario IMO.

also wanted to add:

Falcons will probably regret taunting. It won't be pretty when we meet again. Enjoy your win today, you earned it. Congrats on the W. You earned it and it was a big one. But enjoy it while you can. You WILL be our footstool for the next decade.

Panthers celebrate for their own fun and amusement. Falcons celebrated to get back at us instead of enjoying the win themselves. But eh, they came in and whooped us pretty good today so whatever they do with their celebration is on them  I just find it humurous that they are talking this much sh*t when they are most likely going to be home again for the playoffs.

It was their Super Bowl. They knocked off a team right at the cusp of making history. They achieved something commendable today. The only thing is, it's just one loss. But it isn't to the players and it isn't to the fan base. We may never go 14-0 again. Like stated earlier. They aren't celebrating a Falcon win as much as a Panther loss. I can't say I would do the same if the roles were reversed. I know I would. But with a little more class. Haha!

    • The wife thing is infuriating because it just shows the kind of shitshow Tepper has really run and how insanely unprofessional we are as a franchise. If you have any random, unqualified family member putting their two cents in to a critical draft decision, you are already off the reservation. IMO, that can largely extend to the owner, as well. I realize they have privileges there due to the ownership but I am firmly in the camp of, "Let your football people handle football stuff." We don't do that. Tepper is too smart to let these peons run his IRL fantasy football team.
    • Bradford and Pennington would have passed 2nd round criteria. The 1st round criteria is a little higher and career longevity isn't factored. Years started is, because as a 1st round draft pick, the expectation is that you will be a starter and likely for a long time. But you can see why I shied away from using statistical means. You can end up cutting some objectively amazing players like Steve McNair or Cam Newton. Or even someone like Eli Manning.  That's why I stayed with award/accolade or length of starting career or career. The logic being that if your peers(HOF), the fans/peers(Pro Bowl) or the media(All Pro) regarded you as one of the best, that accounts for a lot. It's taking a wide swath of largely well regarded opinions about a player's performance. In a manner of speaking so does career and starting length. That is the greater NFL(FO, coaching staffs, etc) saying that you are a valuable addition to the organization in some capacity(starter or backup). Statistics are tough because they ignore changes in the game and the vast differences in individual QB's. Cam was never a high completion percentage guy but he dominated many of the games he started. He changed the way people played us. TD:INT ratio seems like a decent enough marker but it eliminates gunslingers and especially old school style gunslingers. Guys that might have had MVP caliber performances(McNair) couldn't meet that criteria.  It would probably be equally difficult to screen players by career winning percentage, QB rating, etc. Using individual statistical means to measure a career is really fuging hard. Doesn't mean I can't use them but I need input because a lot of the things I have attempted just didn't have great results in what I would say are "successful" careers. And my methodology isn't perfect. Certainly there are strong arguments against some of them people that met my criteria. Largely the Pro Bowl. I suppose I could increase that to 2+.
