Falcons Fan Here, Ready for this Weekend!

[ATLFalconsFan]

Guys, just wanted to let you know I have been on your forums before and am really excited about this game, just like I'm sure you guys are. Basically just wanted to start a thread and wish you guys well--but not too well, at least this weekend --as I gotta say I'm really impressed with your fan-base, RGIII, and the Redskins as a team (I have always had good encounters with fans and this forum always seems to have solid football talk). I'll probably be there this weekend and I'm looking forward to it as all of you really seem like a classy group of fans. Like most of you we share a lot of common enemies (rest of the NFC East) and so that's why I am inclined to like the 'Skins. So, basically just want to say congratulations on finding the right QB for you, and I hope we have a great game this weekend with both teams staying injury-free.

Have a great season 'Skins fans.

P.S. I saw a lot of you say this will be the toughest game of your season so far. I think a lot of Falcons fans (including myself) feel the same. Should be a great one to watch.

Let me be the first to officially welcome you to ES. I think it's going to be a tough game for us to win. I think we'll score points, but our D will not hold up. I see this being a shoot out that RGIII will keep us close in, but I see the Falcons winning this in a shootout.

Edit: I'd like to add that I used to be a pretty big fan of the Falcons back in the day. I have some fond memories of Steve Barkowski, William Andrews, Gerald Riggs and Lynn Cain. but then Jerry Glanfield kinda changed the team for me in a very negative way. Good luck this season, just not so much on Sunday

Thanks, Morneblade! I'll probably try and be here from time to time even after our game. Especially when you guys are getting after the Eagles!

Edit: Haha...Michael Vick almost messed it up for me, but since he went to another team I stuck around.

Haha, I didn't see any opposing fan threads...I may have rethought, don't want to be cliche!

Atlanta is going to win this game. Although it doesn't really matter.. the Skins don't win at home. It doesn't help we'll be facing such a high calibar team. I just want to give the Falcons a fight is all.

Welcome to the board. I wonder if its the Griffin effect that we seem to have an opposing fan starting a thread here each week now? Kinda enjoying it. Thanks for stopping by ATLFalconsFan, I'm seriously doubtful of the 'Skins secondary in containing Julio and Roddy. Expecting the worse, hoping for a good game and good showing by the Redskins. Hail.

Welcome! The way I see it you guys owe us this game for beating the Saints and the Bucs!

[ATLFalconsFan]

Hahaha, I don't know about all that! You certainly have made our lives easier this season though.

This part hit me with a ton of bricks. Other team's fans actually respect our team, and think we're a tough opponent. Man, being a 24 year old Skins fan has been torturous to this point.

Thanks for coming on here and wishing us well and congratulating us on RG3 (every Saturday night I get excited, I just enjoy watching the kid play so much). I fear the Falcons, and believe that you will probably take us to the woodshed with your passing attack, but what will happen will happen. I also hope there are no injuries

P.S. You should post more often, we love posters from opposing teams that are sensible and enjoy talking football. It's the nose-breathers we don't like.

I definitely appreciate all the welcome from you guys. Well, I don't know how discussions are going over on the online forums but I know all of my real life football discussions have indicated the Redskins are going to pose a challenge and be a fun game. So, speaking for myself, I'll admit I saw all of the NO/WAS game and you guys have some serious potential.

RG3 has changed the culture of this team already. In my mind, he is changing the franchise losing mentality just by being here.

A lot of us felt that way about Ryan. From 4-12 to 11-5 was huge for us, most of us have felt a culture change since then. It's all about finding that franchise QB!

We can't be your toughest opponent yet. You already played the Chargers and Broncos. Broncos have a good (and uninjured) pass rush including a good secondary.

I just don't know how we can contain your passing offense.
