That guy sure took a dump on MM. And Starks rushes for 123 yards but is not to be concerned with? MMMkk.
Anybody else find the "rise up" rally call a tad bit ironic?
Bird media has to write something. What a turd.
They're not lacking for confidence down here.
It's going to be a fun game.

Perhaps if they blew teams out once in awhile they wouldn't have all these close games? Hell, 3 of those close games they won this year were complete gifts. Dude misses a 32 yards field goal, another guy fumbles a game clinching INT and they beat the Ravens to 2 awful awful calls on the final drive.
That guys sounds like a complete moron. Seriously. This reads like an article some teenager wrote for their school paper -
Are these people really stupid enough to believe that makes the slightest sense at all? The Falcons are pretending to prepare for the Packers' running game in order to trick the Packers into thinking they're scared of the Packers' running game? WTF? This guy's a cretin.
quote:Second, also from Glier, the Falcons are emphasizing run defense now that James Starks has shown up. This is good practice for several reasons. One, it's telegraphing that we're worried about their running game, but I don't think we are actually that concerned about it. We have been known to give up the big run, but I do expect us to lock their run game down in usual fashion. I think that's a semi-ploy to get people thinking we're overly worried about Starks.

Most (if not all) Falcons fans are all about the bling and hype. Actual football knowledge doesn't really matter to them. Therefore, you get comments like "I'm not worried about Starks; this game is being played at the dome!".
I think the dome actually is a benefit to this Packers team.
I noticed he said "we're"

And when speaking of the Falcons he says "we"
Objective Journalism 101 - refer to team you cover as "we".
Is Caleb Rutherford a player for ATL? Why else would he keep referring to "we" and "we're" and "our".
Jeez, After reading that article GB should just cancel the flight and drink beer in GB and think about what coulda shoula been! I guess that moron doesn't realize somebody will win and somebody will lose. Every Packer fan expects a close game because GB probably should have won the 1st time.
Every falcon fan that saw the 1st game know's the above is true. Now that game might as well have been last year but it will by no means surprise anyone if Atlanta is watching GB defeat Seattle in the NF Championship game!
Should Atlanta win the game my hats off to em' they will have had to earn it. But if GB plays their game no drops no TO's they win

Is this only a criticism because he gets paid to write? Otherwise...
I read his post as a subtle shot at you when you pretty much said the same thing
Ah, now I understand. The problem was the 'subtle' shot - I'm used to the sledgehammer approach and thought he was actually dinging the homer. Thanks.
"Starks could have a big game. We won't know until we find out, but I didn't see anything impressive from him against the Eagles. Granted, I didn't watch the whole game"
Dude didn't watch the game... no wonder he didn't see anything impressive. What a tool. But what else would you expect from a guy named Caleb or his brother Zeke?
Considering the fact that GB has already played a game in ATL this year should be a huge plus for the Pack. Nothing about the so-called home-field advantage should bother us. I'd bet a lot of Packers would rather be in a dome than playing in 10 degree weather.

NeNe and Kim think the Birds are going to roll!
When is the last time we saw a reverse from Green Bay? Is this the week?
Mike and Mike plus Schlereth rated Smith as #7 out of the coaches left in the playoffs. Amazing that the Atlanta homers think he's great.

I rest my case.

He is clearly a product of one of Florida's fine collages.
Great sports talk radio down here.
One of the afternoon drive hosts was roll calling our defense and actually said "Kampman".
Gone as a free agent, and on IR for Jacksonville to boot.
After we already played them once this year.
Brilliant.

I remember the guy that morning on the radio: "And in hockey last night, Atlanta defeated the Blackhawks 1-0. Fo shizzle my nizzle."
First time I'd ever heard that. So that's pretty cool.

If you can't stay on topic, don't post. Thank you
You thought people here complained about the national media. Holy hell we have nothing on them.

Boycott the media!!!!
Roddy White is soooo ANGRY and disrespected!!!!
Rod Woodson is a hater!!!
I agree with Colin Cowherd!!! (this statement alone should eliminate any credibility)

Huge inferiority complex. This season marks the first time they've had three winning seasons in a row in franchise history. Last season was the first time they've had back-to-back winning seasons.
The fans down here get excited if they're #1 on the weekly ESPN power poll.
I have a lot more respect for their coaching staff, team, and organization than I do for the majority of their fan base.
More and more butthurt surfacing as the week goes on.
They're really pissed off that much of the media is picking the other way.

It is absolutely hilarious to troll those Falcons boards. They make Viking fans look level headed. Half the posts are about getting screwed by the media. Another 1/4 are how awesome the media guys are who pick Atlanta to win and the rest are their "realistic" expectations that Atlanta will win by 17+ points.
One guy said his realistic expectation was 27-10 and his homer pick was 31-13.
Now that the line is all the way down to 1.5 they must be going insane.

I've seen a line referenced as low as 1 point (on ESPN).
The money's going the other direction.
Doesn't matter, but it's nice to see.

Fans in ATL are about as fickle as they get. I can recall a Braves playoff game where Turner Field was maybe 2/3 full. They have trouble selling out Hawks games, and they've been pretty damn good for several years now. Then there's the Falcons.
They had a piece on the local GB news today talking about how quickly the Falcons sold out the playoff game, like it was some big deal. I think this was one of the first years the Georgia Dome home games were sold out?
College football rules in the deep south and always has. If the Bulldogs were better this year nobody would care about the Falcons.
The reality is this- if things go wrong for the Falcons early in this game I could see the Packers running away with this because of all the remaining teams in the playoffs I think the Packers fear the HFA the least in ATL. They (and ATL) know that GB could have very easily beaten them the first time around, but it took a fumble on the 1 yard line, a bad 4th down conversion (that shouldn't have been) and a miracle return at the end of the game to have them come away with the win.
