I dont get too emotional or sentimental too often... But Im very pleased to see Derrick Thomas inducted into the hall of fame. If he wouldnt have been taken so early, he would clearly be mentioned in the same sentence with Lawrence Taylor, as the greatest defensive player ever. It would have been an absolute shame if he did not make it, and Im glad a person like him did make it into the hall.

Strangely enough, I agree with you 100%.

Congratulations Bruce Smith and Ralph Wilson!

pretty boring game until the 4th quarter, except for the last minute touchdown before halftime.

[OOMPH!]

Were we watching the same game? I think it was a great game the whole way through.....

Agreed. Only once the Cards figured out they were in trouble did the game get good. Which was the last 7 minutes.

McNabb was drafted by the team with the worst record in 1998. So coming into the league in 1999 he didnt have anything to work with. Ryan had a top RB free agent, Pro Bowl WR, and an ok line. McNabb had what, Duce Staley in his 3rd year, Na Brown? Mark Seay? Come on, the 1999 Eagles were pathetic. The 2007 Falcons were pathetic because one single player was taken off of their team, and nothing more. Replace that single player with a top draft pick, and naturally you will rebound. Totally different situations.

Kinda funny when Falcons fans consider making the playoffs a success, and Eagles fans consider losing in the NFC championship a failure.

You seem to know alot about the Falcons.... I can tell by to your insight on what a great team they are and at the same time how they started sucking only when Vick left. We have sucked for a long time now. Get this straight as well, our O-line has never been good. Our defense and special teams are what have saved our asses in the past (besides this year). Vick did ABSOLUTLY nothing for the Falcons program. Show me what he did to make us successful. The team was crappy. It's better now. We made good decisions last year and they brought us to the playoffs. You talked a big game about how the Falcons sucked against the Cards. They Sucked as bad as the Eagles did. They lost. Just like the panthers, just like the Falcons, and almost like the Steelers.

Look at my team, then compare your team. Then look at the stats on October 8th. You tell me how the two teams compare. They are pretty close. You can say your defense is better, it is. But your defense didn't do that much to us when we played you. We had the top performers that game. You stopped us in the red-zone. With a top 6 defense, I would have expected you to do that all season. Many teams did that to us this season, it has always been a problem for the Falcons. In fact, you would be 10 and 6 if you hadn't fucked up that tie. Pretty good NFC record. Not 11 and 5, but pretty good.
Not that I play FF, but look at this.... kind of interesting where they both stand.

Oh, and did Mcnabb make it to the playoffs his rookie year? I can't remember... Enlighten me

[Hick]

i wanna kill myself now. ALL THE LOCAL FUCKING CHANNELS are talking about is Holmes catch to go ahead. Fuck local channels, fuck the OSU Buckeyes. god dammit

[delatlanta1281]

It was a pretty nice catch though.

[Hick]

The local sports news last night started out:

"Good evening, Santonio Holmes controled the last drive of the Super Bowl, completeing a XX yard catch to win the Super Bowl with 35 seconds left on the clock. Santonio Holmes completed XX catches for 73 yards on the Steelers final drive. Santonio Holmes... blah blah blah. Santonio Holmes... blah blah blah. Santonio Holmes... blah blah blah. Santonio Holmes... blah blah blah."

He must have gone to school there or something. :)
