What Falcons Fans Are Saying

[Jeremy Igo]

Believe it or not, the Atlanta Falcons are still in the playoff hunt. The Falcons need to win out and hope for two Minnesota Viking losses. A long shot, but it could possibly happen. 

This means that on Sunday in Atlanta, the Carolina Panthers could both clinch home field throughout the playoffs and knock the Atlanta Falcons out of the playoffs.

How great is that? 

I went over to the Falcons fan communities to gauge their feelings on the upcoming game. 

On Matt Ryan being fire up. 

Quote

GTFO our field! Please make this happen again!

Since that Matt Ryan outburst years ago, the Falcons are 1-5 vs the Panthers. I am not so sure they should be wishing for a return of a fired up Matt Ryan. 

 

On how to beat the Panthers

Quote

Honestly, the only guy you need to stop is Olsen. Without him,that offense will stop dead. 

Oh look, another "double Olsen and the Panthers offense is dead" comment. We have seen it every single week this season from opposing fan bases. 

Two weeks ago Greg Olsen only played a single half against the Falcons. The end result was a 38-0 behind the woodshed shellacking. Short memories these Falcons fans have. 

 

On Roddy White talking trash about Josh Norman

Quote

If I were Roddy I would seal my yap, seeing as how most teams can cover him with a cocktail napkin.

.....fair enough.

Roddy is right on point with this. Norman is not just sitting on an island locking up number one receivers ever week. Look at the scheme that Carolina plays. It's easy to sit in a zone and cover 2 with the linebackers that they have. 
Put Norman on an Island with Julio, Dez or Watkins and he gets killed out there. 

Norman is absolutely tasked with locking up receivers many times during games. He also does play zone, as does every single corner in the league. Holding Norman to a higher standard than literally every other corner in the league in an effort to agree with an asinine comment made by Roddy White.... sad. 

Of course, Corey Brown and Josh Norman responded to Roddy's comments on twitter themselves... 

 

Overall, Falcons fans are evenly split. Some want to win out and hope for a postseason. Others want to lose and improve draft position. Almost none are happy with their current coaching staff, especially offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. I doubt Shanahan is around next season, unfortunately. 

Sunday may possibly be the largest Georgia Dome takeover in NFC South history. Expect thousands of Panthers fans to once again make it feel like a home game as Falcons fans remain mostly indifferent. 

See you there.

I wonder if DA can run it up to 70-0? 

DA being in because we've scored so much.

So a Panthers win equally clinches homefield and ends Atlanta's season?


Hmmm.....what to do......

People kill me with this slot bullshit. Offenses move their best WR in the slot to free them but I don't hear criticism for that. Bottom line is Josh do what he's asked to do.

[TNPanther]

Hilarious...just last week they were hoping to clean house, fire Dan Quinn, and lose out for draft position. Now after beating the juggernaut Jaguars they think they can make some noise.

 

I tell you - and I've ascertained this from living here for 6 months - Atlanta sports fans are by far the most fair-weather bunch in the world.

The only thing Falcon fans should be saying is, " TICKETS FOR SALE! GOT GOOD CAROLINA SEATS IN ATLANTA FOR SALE!!!"
