The White ordeal needs to be nipped soon; the last thing our guys need is a greedy whiner to disrupt team chemsitry. Trade him, if possible, or if it gets to worst-case scenario, hand him his walking papers.

Oh, and to ‘Falcons Sorry’….I still think Vick needs to apply for a spot on the Food Networks to do his ‘Supper Bowl’ show, since he won’t have a job in the NFL.

I drove all the way to Flowery branch yesterday morning so my son could get Matt Ryans autograph, only to find out he was not participating in practice. How dare they treat my son like that. He cried the hole way home. He tell me Matt Rayn is no longer his favorite player and he no longer likes the Flacons. Way to go Mr Blanks. You lost some more fans!

With a winning season the Falcons are in a position to silence the naysayers, and make the city proud. I believe this team has the stuff to step up and do it, but it will take a huge team committment.

Frankly, I am disappointed with Roddy’s hold out. He is a good receiver but not in the league with Larry F. That being said, he does have the opportunity this year to prove that he is, but not if he’s not playing. Step up Roddy, catch that tough pass (like the one that could have won the Denver game) and prove that you are a GREAT receiver and the money will rightfully be there.

Have a great season!

Their gonna have to make some more Clemson sticker decals now that cash for clunkers has took most of their cars off the street. We was almost Clemson tigers but baseball came up and we wasn’t sure if we could drive a tractor anyway. My daddy went to Clemson for awhile and that’s why I like ‘em so much and I wanted to rub that rock when I ran on the field but I couldn’t pass up the second shift.

Eddiedawg and Constantine, Your Mama!! I love that “ONE HEARTBEAT!!” stuff. Keep it up Barry. Your a real Falcon Fan. I do not know who these guys are, but we will be watching. They will eventually show their true colors. And I bet it is not our Falcon colors.

“ONE HEARTBEAT, BABY!!!”

Teams waive and cut players that are still under contract all of the time. Why would some of you all of a sudden get an attitude when a player gives owners and GM’s a taste of their own medicine. How many times have you seen a team sign a player and then waived him shortly thereafter to make room for another player they decided to sign? Look at all of the veteran players, especially starters, TD and Smitty have cut over the last 2 off seasons, and some of them were still under contract. SOME OF YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE, OR AN ACTUAL IQ.

It truely amazes me how some of you will go to extremes to try and justify your assumptions that the Falcons will not have a successful season. These are some of the same dulusional clowns that used the same tactics last yr. There are some that are doing the same thing unintentionally. The #1 excuse for try to justify their negative assessment of the Falcons chances is it’s DEF.

Well, last yrs 21st ranked passing DEF, 25th ranked rushing DEF, and 24 ranked DEF overall, didn’t stop the Falcons from finishing 11-5 and making the playoffs. And that’s despite all of the obstacles we had to overcome last season, particularly at the start, like new coaching staff, OFF/DEF systems, rookie QB and LT, new TE, RG and RB.

What makes anyone with an actual IQ think this yrs DEF and coaching staff, with all of the added speed, quickness, athleticiam, talent, depth and versatility, won’t be much improved over last yrs? Just adding Probowl TE TGonzalez alone will make last yrs 14th rated passing OFF, 2nd rated rushing OFF and 6th rated overall OFF the NFL’s most balanced and powerful OFF’s.

THE ATLANTA FALCONS HAVE THE MOST BALANCED OFF IN THE NFL, AND NO OTHER NFL OFF CAN MATCH OUR RUSHING AND PASSING ABILITY, ABD THAT WAS BEFORE THE ADDITION OF TE TGONZALEZ. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE 13 TEAMS THAT FINISHED AHEAD OF US IN TOTAL PASSING OFF MATCHED OUR 2ND RANKED RUSHING OFF. AND THE GIANTS #1 RANKED RUSHING OFF FINISHED BELOW OUR # 14 RANKED PASSING OFF.

ONLY A FOOL WOULD THINK OUR DEF WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT OM THAT.
