This is an "optimistic" thread. It goes downhill from here over there.

Damn, that's sad. If it was us we would be talking poo at least, but they seem defeated already.

Yeah I've been checking out a lot of boards lately trying to get a feel for how other fan's view our team  Saw that thread and almost felt bad for them.  

From what I've read from a few boards, beating us would be almost as good as a Super Bowl for some of these teams fans.

I was just thinking how miserable they must be this year. 

They started 5-0 and were talked about as Super Bowl contenders. A lot of people predicted they would win the South this year. Then, a humbling, unexpected loss to the lowly Saints... After that, they eked out a win over the Titans. I'm sure Falcons fans were still feeling upbeat. But since that time, they haven't sniffed a win. Five games, five losses.

What's worse is their schedule has been unexpectedly light. They've lucked out and had FIVE of their opponents playing backup QBs due to injuries. Even with that kind of fortune, their season is pretty much already lost - so much so that while they are mathematically in the playoff picture, you can tell from their fans that they are really not.

bahahahaha

oooo look! a 'worst 12-0 team ever' post.  This makes my heart warm knowing how bitter they are.

[O-Ther]

Their fans are as soft as their team

Taint fans don't want to see us match or beat their 13-0 start from 2009. Have the Falcants even sniffed 12-0 since they were formed in 1961?

Went there hoping to see someone say "Worst 12-0 team ever" - was not disappointed.

I love it their tears sustain me. That whole board is doom and gloom and is talking about how we're gonna rag doll them...I love these two gems

 

"We'd be the Eagles of the NFC South. Yes, it would be extremely embarrassing. That's why I'm more excited to watch the Panthers lose than for us to win."

"Haha we are so far away from upsetting the panthers that i didn't understand the title of the thread. I came in looking for what may have upset the panthers. "

Well they're already the only team in the NFC South who hasn't made it to a superbowl since the division was created.
