You remember the narrative that the Panthers were too cocky? You know, the narrative that was the apparent reason of us losing Superbowl 50?

Well, we aren't the only ones. Just check out what Sanu said:

At least Taylor Gabriel was half sane and had the sense to remain alert. Sanu was already thinking about the trophy he'll never get.

So next time another Falcon fans says the Panthers are "too cocky", remind them of Sanu, and them blowing a 25 point lead.

Gosh this will never get old.

Well FuFu , they may have played better than us for the better part of 3 quarters, but when it actually counted the most they folded like wet paper. That's a worse way to lose than our self destruction in SB 50. You could argue that it would have still been difficult for us to win even without the dumb ass fumbles and dropped passes , but the Falcons HAD the game won and gave it back to the Patriots.

Could you imagine if that was the Panthers? we outscoring the Patriots 28-3 coming off killing steamrolling the entire league until that point, only to have the most epic of meltdowns ever after that? IDK I think that would be worse.

That would be weird though. Since our defense was actually NOT the problem in the SB. They actually held the Denver offense to field goals until well into the 4th quarter . Which is a crazy feat in of itself. The D did their job. The vaunted offense let us down. Just too many turnovers if nothing else, they looked sloppy and unready for the spotlight. And our Tackles simply got horribly exposed.

I'm pretty sure we lost the rematch in wk1 very similar, which completely fuged up the whole season

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
