You guys knew you didn’t want any part of the Falcons again. Dominated Cam yesterday defense is clicking, special teams had it’s best game of the season, and the offense still has some red zone issues but was very creative and had an actual game plan.

Lucky for you you get the Panthers not the defending NFC champs and the only team in the NFC to make it back to the playoffs from last year! RISE UP!

Now time to put it on the Rams arse!

Unfortunately you guys can screw us by winning at LA and booking your own flight to Philly while we go to Minny.

Remember when you guys had the super bowl won, and then in the most agonizing fashion, blew a 28-3 lead in the fourth quarter to lose in what is now the biggest choke job of any sport in the history of our nation?

LMAO I do

So the panthers for the most part shut down your run game but it looks like Ryan had a good day and you shut down Cam. So was the interceptions the difference? Cam threw 3.

Falcons fans have been complaining about officiating and wanting ref's fired.

How about the officiating in this game:

quote:

Playoff spots are determined by inches. 

In September, Lions receiver Golden Tate appeared to score a game-winning touchdown on the final play of a game against the Falcons.

But instant replay overturned the call, ruling that Tate’s knee had touched the ground with the ball just inches shy of the goal line.

Now the 10-6 Falcons are in the playoffs, and the 9-7 Lions are out.

If the Lions had won that game, they’d be 10-6 and in, and the Falcons would be 9-7 and out.

That’s how close the difference between success and failure is in the NFL.

The article discusses firing Jeff Triplette.

Remember that call vividly. I couldn't believe they overturned it. If it was called that way maybe, but there was zero conclusive evidence to overturn.

Oh I forgot the Saints are exempt from this conversation because they never complain about refs.. uh huh.

He was down and the rule ( while goofy) is for a run off because they had no time outs. In live action the game would have ended because they were out of time outs and was short of the goal line.

Except they've proven the ability to get plays off in less time

I just thought your fan base could start with getting rid of this ref first:

quote:

Jeff Triplette can’t control a game. 

I’m sure Triplette, the longtime NFL referee, is a perfectly fine fellow.

But he just shouldn’t be an NFL ref.

He routinely loses control of the games he’s working.

After a fight broke out in the Bills-Dolphins game, Triplette and his crew took about 10 minutes to get everything sorted out and get the game going.

As Triplette was calling all the penalties, he called the numbers of two players who weren’t on the field.

Then he called the number of a Dolphins player who doesn’t exist (Triplette called No. 24, and the Dolphins don’t have a 24 on their team).

Triplette routinely makes mistakes that an NFL referee shouldn’t make.

I will sign the firing petition, too.

We have to as fans, start somewhere.

Not saying that I don’t share my team with some idiot fans as do you (see the 28-3 response to everything because they are out of logical responses).

The idiots starting petitions are just that. Can’t speak for them just like coherent Saints fans can’t speak for their idiot fans either.

Congrats but take it from me that don’t mean shite if you aren’t holding the Lombardi at the end of a little game in Feb.

Falcons won it last year and it doesn’t mean a thing.

Interesting, but this matters:
