Defense has started playing better for sure. Would be nice to get some more takeaways but I'm not complaining - they've been solid.siffoin said:
It's a toss up, Dallas has a ball control offense that can score on long drives keeping the ball away from Ryan but I think the Cowboys won't be able to slow down the Falcons offense when they do get the ball. Packers can put up points but their defense also won't be able to stop Atlanta's offense. Put a gun to my head, I'll take Packers at home for the crowd noise advantage.
I don't really care who we face. For this team and this season and the expectations I had...it's all house money at this point.
That's also a very impressive ratio of drafted players to free agents, more so factoring in Julio and Ryan as drafted starters from other drafts.
This is awesome. The only problem is that they are nearing the end of their contracts the next 1-2 years. Great example of a team building through the draft and hitting on several draft picks and getting them to contribute heavily early.
I think the answer is Chipper. Some others:
I opened this up to my family... they've decided to add Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz and Bobby Jones to the list.
I think I'd probably give to Aaron at this moment. We beat the Pats, Ryan probably jumps to the top. I mentioned in a group text and they added a few more (mentioned in post above this).
How many years did Aaron play in Milwaukee? He's definitely the best in the list (maybe by far) - I guess because it was before my time and he played in Milwaukee I didn't give him enough consideration.
That's a good point - had to look and its 9/22 seasons in Atlanta. I guess I more associate with him here since he broke the home run record and stuck around after his career. It was before my time too.
Actually, a bit generous on my part. About 14.3 million. So roughly 4.7%. That's even assuming they are all fans. But then add in more fans randomly spread throughout the country, with a dash of frontrunners and a pinch of bandwagoners, and my unscientific estimate comes to about 10%.
Tommy Nobis was a flat out stud who should be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Interesting question. As a life long Braves fan, the Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz era was very special. If the question was most famous athlete of all time, Hammerin' Hank would probably be the call. Maddux and Smoltz were imports, although Smoltz came in as a young pitcher. I like that Glavine and Chipper came up from within. Best athlete, I may go Chipper.
What's particularly funny about this comment is that this particular Falcons Super Bowl team doesn't exist without "the cheaters" and their past success.
Ha, truly thanks for asking, but hey man, I already deleted one comment because it was rude to the falcs fans, if you want an appropriate falcs thread title, I'm not sure you're asking the right guy..... anything without the words 'Super' and 'Bowl' in would please anyone in the 504....
Yep - hard one to take - I was walking around downtown today during lunch it was odd - hardly anybody out and the ones that were seemed in a daze. Not sure how they overcome this one - I thought Ryan was ordinary and we wouldn't win one with him ever. Then this year he and Shanahan had them rolling - I was in shock when it was 28-3 but never felt it was over. When they got the ball back I was resigned to losing tbh - been burned too many times. Despite that I'm still in shock and definitely angry with Shanahan/Ryan.bigmarc27 said:
