yes, i've been telling him that for sure! the problem with vick is that he puts people in the seats and makes the team money so we are stuck with him for quite a while. but we don't have a snowballs chance in hell of doing any real damage with him at the helm.egg yolkeo wrote: Or that as long as Vick is the (overhyped)quarterback that we have no chance of winning a championship?
Yeah we've got another high school team playing here at the end of the season too.Greg wrote:Jesus fucking christ I swear if Tech didn't have a head coach with balls the size of fucking sentence periods we'd have had an 11-1 record for four years straight instead of 7-5 for 4 years in a row.
I don't give a fuck if he's being octuple covered - when you have the best goddamn receiver in the fucking college game and he's a good 6 or 7 inches taller than every single other player on the other team you throw it toward him EVERY SINGLE TIME you need a big play, not just one or two times in the first fucking half and especially when you're down ONE FUCKING TOUCHDOWN for the entirety of the second half and you need, oh I don't know, SIX FUCKING POINTS from a guy who should be playing in the NFL right now?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Although, in the end I guess it beats scheduling a high school team for your first game like UGA did.
Go Dawgs.
Wow seems as though the best run defense didn't show up yesterday or maybe they did but couldn't do nothing to stop the run from the RB or the QB. To say that Vick isn't a play-maker is just foolish. Vick holds the most rushing yards by a QB in the NFL ever. Vick isn't the whole team don't get me wrong everyone has to play there best or it wouldn't be a team. I cared more about seeing the defense play more than I did the offense. To think that MLB Hartwell wasn't in the game and Brooking was playing Hartwell's possition which I think personaly is not Brookings strong point well atleast not like being the at OLB spot. They did a great job putting pressure on Delhomme and on the WR's. The secondary did an even better job at covering the WR's and punishing them over the middle. I was also pleased with Vick dumping it off over the heads off the DB's when they commited to stoping him from rushing I think thats what needs to happen more offten. All in all it was a good game and I am ready to see the same thing happen to the Buc's GO FALCONs.Holiday Rambler wrote:I want to see Vick throw about a 40% completion rate this season, get banged up, but not injured. If he's injured, then Falcons fans everywhere will still pollute my ears with how great he COULD have been.
I want to see him lose his composure and scramble wildly like he's playing in high school again.
I want to see him clobbered every time he leaves the pocket.
I want to see him go four-and-out when his supposed "playmaker" instincts SHOULD have kicked in, just in time to watch him appear in two commercials playing up what an AWESOME QUARTERBACK he is.
I want to see Executive Vice President to the Traveling Owner and Full-Time Head Coach and Part-Time Logistical Coordinator Jim Mora's soulless, beady little eyes crying when his team eeks out an impressive 10 losses this year.
I want to see the Falcons organization retool their "corporation strategy" and continue to suck all passion out of the game with every passing second.
Fuck the Falcons. Fuck Jim Mora. Fuck Arthur Blank. Fuck Michael Vick. Thank you, goodnight!

Free would be nice but I wasn't really banking on that. Know I plan on paying thanks for the info.Greg wrote:http://ev9.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce ... kID=gatechDeath2all wrote:I need help getting 4 tickets to the Oct. 28th game at GT can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

...surely you didn't mean for free, right?
By the way it seems like when Vick actually tries the Falcons play a little better against the Panthers. Also, John Abraham looks to be the best free agent signed by any team after one week.
explain please.Holiday Rambler wrote:Man, I hate the Bucs.
The NFC just blows in general. Micro-managed passionless smallball brain-numbing commercial-ridden krap.
Not afraid to win? Hmmmm. For as seamless and professional as the team pretends to be, you'd think SOMEONE upstairs would have a grasp on the rules.Gregg Easterbrook wrote:At this point, the Falcons' faithful must accept that Michael-Mike Vick is an average quarterback and unlikely ever to be more. His Pro Bowl invitations stem from publicity, not performance. Vick has thrown just 51 touchdown passes in 51 career starts. Last season, he finished 25th among NFL quarterbacks in passer rating, trailing Josh McCown.
Why hasn't Atlanta had more recent success? Because Michael Vick is overrated.
Vick's running ability is impressive: The Falcons led the league in rushing last season both because Vick gained ground and because defenses were so focused on stopping Vick's rushes, they allowed Warrick Dunn to run for 1,416 yards. You'd figure a team that leads the league in rushing and has a Pro Bowl quarterback would finish better than 8-8. But Vick is a Pro Bowl QB strictly on paper. On the field, he's average, and while to be an average NFL QB is an accomplishment -- lots of highly drafted, highly paid gentlemen wish they could say they became average NFL QBs -- there now seems little reason to believe Vick carries any chance of greatness.
Executive Vice President-Head Coach Jim Mora -- that's his title! -- seriously mismanaged the end of Atlanta's 2005 season. Going into the Falcons' 15th game, Atlanta was in the rare situation in which a tie would have kept the team's playoff hopes alive. Mora did not know this. Atlanta took possession on its own 16 with two minutes remaining in overtime. Rather than run into the line three times and drill the clock to cause a tie, Falcons' coaches called three consecutive passes; two clanged to the ground incomplete, Atlanta punted and City of Tampa had enough seconds to get into position to kick the winning field goal as time expired. That Atlanta entered this game unaware of the playoff permutations was inexcusable. Each week in December the NFL devises a playoff permutations grid that allows teams to calculate the consequences of every possible combination of wins, losses and ties in every game. The grid is not hard to use and is not super-secret, it's public information posted on NFL.com. Yet no one in Atlanta's overcrowded management suite -- see below -- bothered to check the Falcons' circumstances coming into the game. You've seen the highlight clip of Mora bellowing angrily into a cell phone on the Falcons' sideline as his players line up to boom the fateful season-ending punt that could have been avoided. Mora is shouting, "WHAT???? I should have played for a tie???? Why didn't you tell me????" Why didn't you think of this yourself, Mr. Executive Vice President-Head Coach?
Atlanta front office note No. 1: The Falcons have a CEO, a president-general manager, three executive vice presidents, six regular vice presidents, two coordinators, one controller, an executive director, four senior directors, nine regular directors, three managers and someone who has both director and coordinator in his title. Yet none of these 32 fancy-pants-title folks checked the playoff permutations grid. Surely, they were all too busy engaged in bureaucratic turf fighting.
Atlanta front office note No. 2: These 32 fancy-pants officials have made some puzzling decisions. Two of last three years, Atlanta traded its No. 1 choice for a veteran who was demanding a mega-contract from his original team. In both cases, the Falcons swapped a mid-first-rounder, which would have been used on a rookie who would have signed for a manageable bonus, for someone to whom they gave a cap-paralyzing mega-contract. Now, Atlanta has shipped another draft pick, probably a third, for veteran receiver Ashley Lelie, who wants a new contract. Lelie had one touchdown reception in 2005, despite playing for the red-hot Broncos. A sizeable chunk of this season's Atlanta salary cap will be tied up in payments to recently acquired high-priced veterans whom their previous teams wanted to get rid of. When a team wants to get rid of a player, usually there is a reason.
