The AFC game cannot start soon enough. Let's gooooo already!
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Well, there goes my hope of a Brady - Rodgers Super Bowl. Guess I'm cheering for the Patriots tonight and the Falcons in the SB.

NFC South in the Super Bowl for the second straight year

I mean, it's not that weird. This is the 6th Super Bowl with an NFC South team since 99. The South makes it there a lot, but just rarely wins it.

Good point. Hey, congrats on winning the conference. Represent well. :D


Thank you kind sir. Have never been this excited as a Falcons fan.

Btw, I think we can all agree that Jones is easily the best WR in the league. Get out of here with the Odell and AB nonsense.

Picked the Falcons as the SB winner a little over half way through the season. Got a lot of flake for it, but it's been pretty apparent that there is something really special about this team. There is no team in the league that can gameplan and account for all their weapons.

Was too young to remember '98, so I can say that this is easily the most excited I've ever been not only as a Falcon fan, but as a sports fan in general. There's something special about this group of guys.

Yes. It does. Dez is no Julio. Not even close.

Better enjoy it! With Kyle Shanahan taking off, it may mess up that chemistry you guys have going. Losing good coordinators can end up being the difference. I'd love to have Dan Quinn back as DC. Our current one isn't quite as good. :(

You should be excited. There's a lot to like about the Falcons.
