I’m a life long Falcons fan, this is where most of you should be thinking “bless his heart”, and you’d be right. It’s not easy being a Falcons fan. Yet, I’ll continue to pull for the old birds no matter what. On topic: I wasn’t sad when Ryan left. I wish him the best. I was a bit sad that the Falcons signed MM. Not because I don’t like MM or think he isn’t still a promising QB. Exactly the opposite. I don’t want to see him come to ATL and have his career completely ruined. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see him get a solid chance to start again. I just don’t think the Falcons are an ideal place or fair to him. Hopefully I’m wrong and the Falcons turn it around with the help of MM. By all accounts MM has been an outstanding person on and off the field. He hasn’t lived up to expectations in the NFL, but it’s not bc he lacks talent. You guys know better than I that he is extremely talented. I think he has fallen short primarily bc of circumstances. The most impactful being injuries and lack of coaching stability. I just hope the Falcons can field a team that gives him a chance. Who knows, if he can stay healthy he might be just what the Falcons need. I don’t mean to be such a pessimist, it’s just that I’ve seen a similar scenario before when a kid that you all know named Joey Harrington came to the Falcons. Of course Detroit messed his career up before he got to ATL, but ATL cemented his fall. He was put into a terrible situation. I hope I’m wrong and the Falcons afford MM every chance to succeed.

I agree, I don’t understand the list. I will say that I’m surprised a little that UGA isn’t in the top ten. Not that I want to be labeled as a dysfunctional fan base, but we are apt to have fans spread all over the south east literary barking at opposing fans or even random people on game day. In my experience it’s not done in an unruly or disrespectful way, but it’s a bit of a deviation from what’s considered socially acceptable. Kinda disappointed we didn’t make the list Lol. If your coming to Atlanta on Sept. 3rd Duck fans don’t be alarmed if you get barked at a bit. There is no bite to go with it. I would say 90% of Dawg fans would rather have a beer with you than talk trash.

As to this article, I agree for the most part. It’s always best to temper expectations when major changes take place. It might take time for everything to find proper direction. Although, I firmly believe Lanning will be a great HC sooner rather than later. He is already a great recruiter, and that will pay enormous dividends on the West Coast very quickly. And likely the rest of the country soon after. I was sad to see CDL leave UGA, but it was inevitable. I was glad that he accepted the Oregon position though. With the exception of a few tough years Oregon has had a very strong program for quite some time. Lanning will lead the Ducks back to national prominence and to playoff contenders and maybe sooner than you think. I’m very much looking forward to a reinvigorated Oregon-USC rivalry with Riley now at USC. I’ll be pulling for the Ducks every time. As for Sept. 3, I’m not sure. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve every reason to be confident in this game. Any true college football fan can clearly see that GA has the advantages this time. GA has more talent across the field, and is much deeper with talent. Has an an established coaching staff as opposed to a first year staff. But wait, the games on a neutral field Lol, nothing neutral about playing GA in Atlanta. Sure, it’s a bit easier than coming into Sanford Stadium but it’s far from neutral. Having said all this, you never know. We are filling many holes from that dominating defense. Albeit with great talent, but some unproven as of yet. I think GA wins, but I predict it will be closer than many think.

Hi all you Duck fans. I’m a Dawg fan but in no way a troll. I’ve been checking out your forum and I must say I’m impressed. You guys have class and I look forward to interacting with you a bit.
