Falcons fan here
Like most of my fellow Falcons' fans, I rooted for the Rams and was so relieved to see that field goal at the end. However, unlike most, I rooted against the Saints only because I didn't want to hear it from Saints fans about taking over Atlanta's facilities. Other than that, I'm not a gloater and I feel your pain.

Re: Falcons fan here
That's completely reasonable. You're probably the first falcon can to come here in a long time wanting to talk reality. If you want to join in and talk football, you're welcome here.
The Saints forum is bias Saints. You can get banned if you troll there, but the NFL forum and Trash Talk forums are fair game. |

Re: Falcons fan here
I must say this though. All the pre-gloating from Saints fans about taking over Atlanta had me all Rams. Even some of our stupid fans and some city officials were barking about it. My stance? Welcome to Atlanta.
But then again, I'm unusual. I rooted for New Orleans in the Super Bowl XLIV. Unlike college, where we often root for fellow SEC teams, there is no love here, for some reason. |

Re: Falcons fan here
Why would you even feel obliged to gloat? The Falcons were elininated from the playoffs around week 11?

Re: Falcons fan here
"Gloating" as in finding satisfaction at your misfortune... not Atlanta's successes. Make sense?

Re: Falcons fan here
Atlanta mayor and other city officials should have stayed out of it. Made it a bigger thing then it actually was.
Trust me, if the Saints would have made it to the SB in Atlanta, the hotels would be jammed packed. It would have been a cash cow for the city. Atlanta will make money with the Pats and Rams, but due to distance, you're not going to get the people filling bars just to watch in the city. |

As if this board didn't openly celebrate a Falcons loss, when the Saints weren't in the playoffs that year. It's a simple point. I don't care if you became a member on their board or not. How is this guy rubbing your nose in anything? I thought it was civil enough. No reason to be offended by so little. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
