Falcons Fan Knew From The Start

PrintWell, we meet again BBV. Last time I came here was after the largest playoff upset since 2007. Oddly, you were the winner in that too, Nonetheless, I am here to tell you I knew. On January 15, after the win, I posted this.
"Congrats on your stunning win first. Most of America thought you would lose, but your skill plus the curse guided you. What is the curse you ask, well every team that prevented the Falcons from doing anything in the playoffs has either went to or won the Super Bowl. In 2008, the Cardinals beat us going to the Super Bowl to eventually lose. In 2009 the Saints stopped us from reaching the playoffs and won the Super Bowl. Finally, the Packers beat us last year and won the Super Bowl. This might be a coincidence but, to the BBVers that are superstitious, you have a curse on your side. Good luck."
Some of you believed it, like the following.
"Netsareboss- Well, it's not a curse really. More like a blessing. lol"
Some of you made very clever remarks.
"Caseys Kiss Of Death- How odd, the Falcons repeatedly beat themselves last week. Shouldn't THEY be going to the Superbowl"
And most of you said it better be real.
"BigBlueIntervention- I'll take it!"
And the survey I took followed this pattern and said...
Yes-13% No-24% It Better-61%
I knew it all along. I don't know about you. In fact, I thought of it as a crazy series of events, it's more. The football gods are now involved. I digress, anyway, I'm just sayin'. Now, please enjoy this awesome photo of the NFC East brought to you buy ProjectPhantom.com. The G-Men one is awesome sauce.

I think
the Eagle should be dreaming…

"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST

They sleep anyway so might as well dream.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
no, no, no
to sleep, perchance to dream, aye, there’s the rub, for in that sleep of death of the Eagles’ season what dreams may come?
Eagles didn't do to bad, they did at least break even.
Hello NFL teams, are you in need of a SB ring. Is your 9-7 or 10-6 team that barely slipped in to playoffs needing some help, well, beat the Falcons and you are guaranteed a SB berth!

I don't know about the superstition but the NFC East picture is definitely hot!!
If you want to argue that Manning is a) not a great quarterback or b) not the best quarterback in franchise history your credibility is automatically shot.
Anyone else find it a bit insulting when Kurt Warner jumped on Roddy White and
Said “whoever beats you goes to the Super Bowl”? White was like “damn, bro”
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
LOL
Your right man, sadly.
