Vick, Falcons putting on a show...

[Irish Envy]

28-17 right now at the half and Vick came out and look like he was pissed with all of the talk this week about him not being a QB.

 

[Irish Envy]

47-17.

Wow. Absolute and complete ass kicking.

 

[NDLyght37]

Hootie-Hoo! My team is unbelieveable. Vick was on, Dunn was in great form...and the MVP was...ALLEN ROSSUM?!?!?!? A.R. is gettin' it done on special teams. Philly or Minnesota better be ready next week.

I've said The falcons from the beginning......As a team I'm not impresse with them, but Vick is friggin ridiculous. The guy totally changes the outcome of a game.

Hey lgyht, not to hate on you, but are you a true falcon fan, or are you one of the many band wagon fans goin around.

I've had to hear all these Steeler fans come out of nowhere in NY. Man i can't stand the steelers or cowboys, no one has more bandwagon fans.

Falcons fan since the Chris Miller-Bobby Hebert days..born & raised in the ATL. This is the most excitement we've had since '98. And the funny thing is, I was actually against Mora's hiring...but the guy is really good.

Ok i am not totaly sure if i should post but for the heck of it - what are yalls Super Bowl teams? Me

Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolos Colts

The talk shouldn't be how good the Falcons are, It should be how the hell did the Rams make the playoffs. The Falcons might get lucky and have to beat a pair of 8-8 teams to make the super-bowl. They better hope Indy gets knocked out, A Colts vs Falcons SB could get really ugly. It might look alot like week seven when Atlanta played KC.

At least the Rams actually won the game they needed to make the playoffs. The Vikings just flat-out lucked-out after losing their last game of the regular season to make the playoffs. Now that's messed up!

yeah dude, i hate bandwagon fans. i think florida state has the worst bandwagon fans of any sports team ever though. i hate the people that wear a teams colors and dont know squat about them. now im seeing usc fans everywhere. here in texas when oklahoma got winning again it seemed like EVERY person wore sooner crap. its just as bad with the cowboys. i grew up a cowboys fan, but have lost interest since 1998, and havent watched them since this year because of julius jones.

I'm a Bears and Colts, Cubs and Bulls fan. It's amazing the bandwagoners that showed up on the Indy doorstep and now the Bulls.

 

[irishtexan]

bandwagoners are like a freakin plague man. they piss me off because i know when the irish are back on top, they will come out of every wormhole and cave and tell everyone "i have always been an irish fan". that is the only thing i dread, is seeing these creeps and then asking them them stuff about notre dame and finding out they dont even know what touchdown jesus is! it will take everything not to kill them!

I don't really follow any NFL teams. I pretty much just want to see Domers in the NFL do well, and am pulling for Weis and the Patriots as long as I'm living in Cambridge. But I will say this: The Colts have the best quarterback in the NFL, and when his career is over he may even be the best in the history of the NFL. Much like Jordan with the Bulls, that's damn impressive, but I'm not sure that Indy's followers are necessarily bandwagon fans. They're just Manning fans. Do you really find that problematic?

No.

But there are definitely bandwagon Colt fans. I work for a very large company and people that were following other teams last year are now decked out in Colts gear. I see it everywhere locally. That is what I'm talking about.

Have nothing more to add but that i agree the Falcons will get lucky and play in the SB against the Colts but that game will remind us of the FSU vs. Va Tech BCS championship game u remember?? Do u think thatll be the case.

I don't think they'll "get lucky" at all. If they make it to the Super Bowl, it'll most likley be through Philladelphia...no luck involved at all. But I think it's either Indy or Pittsburgh from the AFC.

47-17.

Wow. Absolute and complete ass kicking.

This game was the bet of the century. Falcons laying 7 points? Are you serious!! There was no way that front five was going to protect Bulger. Martz was not going to stay in max protection all day, but that was the only way they would have been able to give him time. I thought he was going to get killed back there.

Eagles and Vikings both looked like garbage today. I liked Atlanta going into the playoffs and I like them even more now. Jim Mora Jr. has those guys believing in the system. That's half of coaching a football team when all is said and done.

NO MORE RANDY MOSS!!!

Philly's D is 500 times better then the Rams. If Vick only has 82 passing yards look for a score like Philly 28 Atlanta 7. Philly loves the blitz, Vick has fumble problems. I think Philly wins 24-10. And as a Giants fan living in Atlanta, its hard to pick Philly. But there an all-around better team, plus they'll be at home.

But Atlanta's "D" is miles better than the Vikings. And Philly's weakness all year has been on run defense.

Besides, Vick has been playing like the MVP for the last few games. And if he gets Price involved again next week, I see a long day for Philadelphia. I think it'll end up being something like 27-17 Atlanta.

We'll dont get me wrong I wouldn't be shocked to see Atlanta win. But I've watched all 16 Falcon games this year (not by choice), they won 12 games(counting the Vikings), only 2 against teams above .500. There D is average, there WR's are average, there O-Line is average, there an average team in a below average NFC. I just think Atlanta is alittle overrated. I might be wrong, but as a long time Atlanta resident, I know never trust the Falcons because they will find a way to screw things up.

I can see your trepidation, but I believe that Atlanta is for real this year. The defense is one of the best blitzing "D's" in the NFL, and that will cause problems for McNabb. Also, Philly will give up yards to Vick, Duckett, & Dunn. I think it will be a tough game, but Atlanta will win (I hope).
