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!

    • Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.
    • Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.
    • Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
