If/when the Falcons win in 2 weeks, the Panthers will be the only team in the division without a ring. I believe that is something we can all unite around.

It certainly is.

How can a man be both a speedster and a possession receiver? He's undeniable.

Im excited to see what Evans becomes over the next few years.

Evans needs a good #2 to take pressure off as Jackson's decline continues. Hopefully it's Brate or Humphries, but I doubt they're going to be that missing 1a or 2 the team needs to keep the pressure off Evans.

I thought VJax played his last snap as a Buc?

Evans is a monster. Between Julio, Evans, Benjamin, Thomas, Mo and the best #2 WR in football Devin Funchess, the South has some grown rear end men at the WR position.

If you are talking the 2002 realignment, yeah. Of course, if you go back one more season, you could add the current NFC West as well.

When the falcons were up against the seahawks, i monkey paw wished they would go all the way to the super bowl only to lose painfully to whoever the afc decided to send. I'm starting to get just a little bit nervous. At least it isn't against the steelers. Pats are just a little less evil and a team i can honestly root for. Against the falcons that is because gently caress the pats but gently caress the falcons more. Sorry atl fans, you cool tho.

it's not a monkey paw wish if you wish for the ultimate outcome to be bad, and you would support the ultimately bad outcome happening. it's a monkey paw wish if the falcons lose the patriots, but you were suddenly drafted onto the patriots football team and justin babineaux paralyzed you from the waste down on your first play from scrimmage

I live in Portland, surrounded by fairweather Seahawks fans, so I root against Seattle in any and all circumstances because the effects of their winning and losing are most directly noticeable to me.

It was a moment of weakness when I just couldn't bear the thought of the seahawks making it to another one. And a second moment of weakness when I felt the same about the packers. I have a lot of irrational dislike of random teams. And here we are now. Having to root for the pats. How awful.

I hear ya. Now take a seat and let me tell you about our historic offense and dynasty-in-the-making. You see it all started after Seattle lost the Superbowl in 2014...

I can always ignore dumb posts, but I can't just put dumb coworkers and friends on ignore, so in person aggravation will always win out.

Plus, until you've bought a dumb "get in" falcon smilie and post it at every opportunity you still won't be worse than Seahawks posters.

Two years ago, we took a cruise during the Super Bowl. They put it in the main theater, and had a tailgate party where roughly 90-95% of the people were rooting for Seattle. Five percent of us rooted for the Pats, and on the final interception, you've never seen a room so full of positive energy just suddenly deflate.

It was glorious. :dance:

The only issue I have rooting for the Pats: if Brady wins, he now has five rings. I've always admired Joe Montana even as he was carving up the Saints and I think he is the best QB ever. If Brady has five Super Bowl rings out of seven attempts, would he now be the best QB ever? I realize the RINGZ argument is hollow for some, but that's pretty freaking impressive to get five Super Bowl wins in a career.

Not anything to lose sleep over, though.

lol I hear ya. It's hard to live in an area of which you are not a fan of its professional team. I was born and raised in the burbs of Chicago and I could not stand Bear fans. Most were fine, of course, but you get the insufferable meatheads and it just makes life awful.

I'm ok with this on,y as long as Brees retires after winning and Payton leaves the organization.


Speaking of the Saints I lost track but wasn't the owner and his kids fighting over the team or something like that. The wife / stepmom was the crux of the argument IIRC but gently caress if I know anything beyond that.
