Question from a falcons fan, why do you guys hate our fanbase?

Just a simple question, ive noticed alot of threads since ive been here calling the falcons fan base all sorts of names.

The reason I ask this is, from my expierence most NFL fanbases are the same, Im sure there are falcons fans that come here and rub every loss you guys have in your face, i know there are falcons fans who are very unclassy.

that being said guys there are some pretty unclassy panthers fans, saints fans and bucs fans too. that rub losses in our face, that were on our message boards given us grief last year when obviously we were having a bad year.

I think you guys started really not liking our fanbase, when we had an unclassy QB and you guys thought the majority of our fanbase, took to his personallity, wich some did, and is understandable.

but I served 3 years in fort bragg in the army in N.C surronded by panthers fans, and trust me the ppl in both states are alot alike, except we pull for a different team.

just wondering why u guys think the falcons fans are more unclassy then any other teams fanbase?

In a nutshell, when you guys drafted Vick, his presence unfortunately came with a tribe of incoherent blind fans that we could definitely see was just riding the coattails of the Falcons because that happened to be the team their "gangsta" QB was playing on.

Once you took out the trash, the quality of your fans started to improve almost immediately, telling us what we knew all along that a lot of Falcon fans were just on the bandwagon because they were really Vick fans.

Now I have to say the Saints fanbase has gotten more annoying than the Falcons', at this point anyway.

Yeah, theyre not as near as bad now. It did seem for awhile that they always had scumbag players though. Andre Rison, Deion Sanders, Vick, Deangelo Hall. Plus you guys stomped us regularly for awhile and had many chuckles about it. Yeah. Im getting angry thinking about it hahahha

double post.

Please forgive me fellow forumgoers, my internet connection has been very sh*tty the past few days.

well your reason is very logical, i'll admit I my self spend alot more time on the falcons message board now then i did during the vick era. and your right we had alot of band wagon fans riding vicks nuts, hell what amazes me, are the ones that are still around on the message board. we have fans from canada, california, iowa, and many other places where it would be bizzare to be an atlanta falcons fan

they all admit to jumping on board when vick was drafted.

alot of the chaos that was the falcons message boards is gone now that vick is gone , though

Only fans I can say I have no love for are Eagle fans! That goes back to a defeat in their home by our Panthers in the playoffs of 2003 where an Eagles fan, upset that Carolina was beating them the way we got beat Saturday night, told a complete and utter fabrication to a security guard that a few nearby Panther fans had physically assaulted her, which caused them to be taken to the stadium jail! (Having a stadium with a built-in jail should say enough about those fans)

Stadium video later proved the men had no contact whatsoever with the woman.

Other Panther fans at that game had their cars vandalized, or were littered with beer and other garbage during the game.

I can deal with a little trash talk in the parking lot by Atlanta fans, but when people pull crap like the above incidents, that is just too much.

I hope Arizona beats them so badly this week that our loss to AZ will seem like a close game!

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.

      Anthony Richardson benched

      All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
