Not Fake News: The Atlanta Falcons 2017 Motto "Embrace The Suck"

[bobsfoodbasics]

holy poo lmao

Quote

Dan Quinn could take the well-worn coach's path, declining to speak of his team folding versus the New England Patriots after earning a 28-3 lead with 'we put it behind us' excuses and preaching about moving on by not reliving the nightmare.

Instead the Falcons are embracing the debacle. Quinn wore two black wristbands to the team's minicamp over the weekend, each reading: "Embrace The Suck," the motto they began using last offseason.

Quinn told the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Jeff Schultz the wristbands weren't a reference to the Super Bowl loss, but a reminder of the difficulty that lies ahead going through the grind to return to the championship game. The way they lost only adds to the suck.

"Eat a crap sandwich with a smile," Quinn said of his approach. "This is going to be hard. Your choice: It's a victim's mentality or a warrior mentality. It's like, 'I know this run is going to be long, and it's going to be really hard. But here I go again.'"

better to address it than be complacent.

Looks like even Quinn is making sure the Falcons never forget that they blew a 25 point lead in the Superbowl.

Don't care what they do....our Mc'offense will run through, over, and by their defense on the way to the top of the NFC this year.  And they will not have a chance to blow a 28 point lead when they play the Panthers this year....won't score that much on our D.

 

 

Believing.

Maybe genius.  Could be the thing that helps keep them together and alleviate the hangover.  it will surely be talked about.

 

I hope I'm wrong but they're talented enough without extra motivation.

meh it's an army motto or something

Not original?  Well I'll take it back then. Kinda lame

I honestly don't see them suffering a SB hangover. The pigeons aren't going anywhere. The south will be brutal this year

[SetfreexX]

Soon as they start to get down in a game this season it's a wrap. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Better than our approach last year of assuming we were going to be just fine and doing very little to address our weaknesses while gutting our secondary.

Yeah I can't really judge any teams approach following a Super Bowl loss considering we did pretty much everything wrong in that regard.

Hair of the dog. Next, the coaching staff will be ordering choke a cola t-shirts.

Is Dan Quinn a military guy?

Because if he isn't then he really shouldn't be using that motto.

Our rookies just went through seal training light this weekend. Has more to do with that than anything.
