I really hate to be a downer but i have no faith in these falcons. 17 games wasn't enough to see that this isn't championship caliber? I agree with the article that upgrading the offensive line and tight end would be huge. But we've abandoned playing to Ryan's strengths which are lots of short pass options and lots of yards after catches. You can't put all the drops on the players. At some point when receivers are continuing to drop passes all season, you have to conclude that maybe they aren't being put in the best position to make a catch.

I'm speaking it into existence. It's gonna happen.

I'll work on changing my attitude. I believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking. I hope Sark is watching the offenses in these playoffs very carefully.

I hope Quinn took notes on how to finish a championship game.

Indeed brother. We have a top roster of talent. But we don't have a coach able to outsmart other elite coaches in big playoff games. As insufferable as Kyle Shanahan is, he seems bright enough to out strategize even the best defensive minds.

He just has to remember to run the dang ball with an imposing lead.

Here's hoping we get another shot at the Eagles next season...and that Quinn has learned enough from the past two postseasons to get us to the promised land.

Philly kept the foot on the peddle against New England.
We took our foot off so hopefully during the upcoming season we make a strong run to have another chance at the Super Bowl at home.

As A LONG TIME FALCONS FAN, THIS WOULD BE PRETTY DIFFICULT TO endure.

This could be th efirst SB I choose to skip in a loooong time.

Saints' Super Bowl takeover in Atlanta would extend to Falcons facility, locker room: report

A New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl takeover in Atlanta could extend beyond the seats inside the stadium and the city streets.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday (Dec. 20) that the Falcons' team training facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia, and locker room at Mercedes-Benz Stadium would be home to the Saints coaches and players, as well.

Cities that host Super Bowls commonly open their team training facilities to one of the teams that will play in the game. In this case, the Falcons facility and locker room will be open to whichever team advances from the NFC, the report said.

The AFC qualifier will practice at Georgia Tech and use the visiting team locker room.

The Saints currently hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and can clinch home-field advantage through the conference championship round with a win Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
