Bad Day for this falcon fan.

are we sure this is a bad thing???

I grew up in the Bay Area....This should have been the other way around. My father wouldn't bring us to Raiders games because the fans are bat poo fuging crazy. 49ers fans on the otherhand were pleasant from what I remember. But it was nice growing up watching Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice, so maybe thats why they weren't violent fans.

If you are attacked, like it sounds like this the 49ers fan was, then you have every right to defend yourself the best way you can. If I were attacked (without provoking the attacker) I wouldn't hesitate to pull out my knife if I felt like I were in real danger.

esp. if you were surrounded by drunk and pissed fans who's dreams had just been shattered by the team whose jersey you were wearing.

you don't know if mob mentality was going to kick in and all of a sudden you become a punching and kicking bag for 5-10 irrational drunk and pissed fans.

you've got to nip it in the bud. self defense. you don't know how bad it's going to be, so you do something drastic to keep the potential increased attack less attractive.

i doubt the guy with the knife gets anything more than a slap on the wrist, nor should he. he was attacked and protecting yourself is allowed, esp. when you don't know the strength of your attacker(s).

I'm with Rayzor on this one. Watch the King of the Hill episode where Hank takes Bobby to his first Texas Longhorn game. Hank and the guys are sitting in a guest suite that is reserved for a Nebraska celebrity/coach. The HC on the field calls the suite with seconds left in the game asking for advice. Hanks tells Nebraska to punt the ball with seconds left in the game. This results in a touchdown and Nebraska wins. Trying to escape an angry Texas mob, the guys get harassed and are careful not to become the victim of some crazy mob beatings. Point is, some of those fans are drunk and bat-poo nuts after a loss. When I was stationed in Oklahoma City, I witnessed all sorts of violence from Sooner and Longhorn fans. This one old dude even got his balls cut off. No joke.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
