We’re a poverty franchise, the fucking redditors could’ve done a better job building a team.

Taking a TE that high when, Jamar chase, micha, Devonta smith, Jaylen waddle, Penie Sewell, Patrick Surtain, were taking right after. Is why we will be a poverty franchise for decades

Then the following year taking the slowest wide receiver when our defense was ass and Garrett Wilson was on the board.

Then the following year taking a RB when we have an elite run game already, when arguably the best player in the draft is still on the board when historically we have had the worst pass rush in decades

Fuck my dad for making me watch this team and cursing me with being a falcons fan.

      You’re better off hedging that bet and betting against your team. They lose, you win money. They win, you win as a fan and it only cost you what you put in.

      You can always tell newer Falcons fans because they get spun up by the hype in the summer and they’re furious by December. SMH

        Bro I’ve been a fan since 2008, first game was Matt Ryans first game when I was 12. I remember his first passing being a touchdown to Harry Douglas. I’ve been a fucking fan for 15 years. FUCK THIS

          15 years?

          Brother, I have Falcons shirts older than you.

          You’ll adapt. You’ll figure out and finally ignore the hype train that gets going in the spring and hits full speed in late July. You’ll get your Sundays spoiled for just the satisfaction of beating the Saints.

        I saw us never going above .500 at any point, but it’s safe to say that the NFC South Champion will have to face either a red hot Philadelphia Eagles squad or a red hot Dallas Cowboys squad. I would rather face Dallas than a mad Eagles squad.

      He also is acting like taking a tight end is the problem…

        Yup, the 90% of Falcons fans wanted Matt Ryan gone, and they have gotten their wish. I wish we would have held onto that Super Bowl and brought home the Lombardi. That would have eased the pain of how bad we are now. Then again, we wouldn’t be in this spot if the Falcons managed to survive the comeback.

          I don’t know about that. Maybe. Winning the Super Bowl would’ve extended Dan Quinn’s tenure with the team. Maybe we avoid hiring Arthur Smith. Perhaps we don’t carelessly discard our ethical and moral compass and try to acquire a sexual predator, thus we don’t publicly humiliate our franchise quarterback, who sticks around for a few more seasons allowing us a smoother transition between quarterbacks. Hard to say.

          However, what I do know is that , in 2016, we were only into year 2 of Julio’s “Falcon-For-Life” contract, and then we doubled down 3 years later. That contract killed us for the foreseeable future. We still would’ve been handcuffed financially.

          I don’t know. Just a crappy situation all around.

        Bro the fact that we didn’t build up a DL or OL and decayed a TE is the problem. The lions are 8-3 because their OL is elite and so is their DL. They gave an average qb.

        Drafting a TE at 4 when those players he listed are there is a massive problem
