I go to other boards most weeks. I use the same name on all other boards I have here. I wouldn't say I troll, but I do post and talk x's and o's in a smack free sort of way. The Cowboy's message boards in particular were a lot of fun. The understanding of the fans, and keeping the disucssion focused on measureables was a very refreshing thing. I wish we had more of that here.

The best Xs and Os posts on these boards fall to the botton of the page like a lead weight. If the title isn't ALL CAPS, inflammatory, or misleading it gets ignored for the most part. We do have good threads on general fan issues, but the football talk is better during the off season than during the year imho. Maybe it is just that during the off season the number of silly posters is minimal.

I went to the niners' site before our game, because I was going there and wanted advice, and also to touch base with the fans of my first team (born and raised in the land of fruits and nuts, and I can say that because I'm a native).
They were helpful and respectful, probably because I was. I can't think of any niner fan that talked smack here.
The bagheads, on the other hand, choose to flood us with their infantile crap talk and expect us to like it. Then one mentions my post count on MY OWN TEAM'S BOARD like that should be some kind of dishonor to me.
I have been here for 9+ years. 34,000 /9 /365. That's like 11 posts a day. Probably half of them are short replies. Probably 25,000 or more of those were while I was at work farting around between tasks.
Bagheads can kiss my ***. They finally have a decent team after years and years of being the laughingstock of the league.
And just to short circuit that 'back to back' crap - just search on "worst NFL team of all time', and you'll find all the NFL South teams listed - except one. The Atlanta Falcons.
Thanks for your time.

Almost all of those posts came before my workplace blocked this site, and this IS my team's site. I probably had less than a dozen posts on the Saints site before they crashed it after one of the yearly implosions (can't remember if it was 2003, 2004, or 2005 - they happen every year).
You have over 800 posts on OUR site. Obsess much? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Owned!

Whatever helps you make it through the day dude. LMAO @ you trying to break down your 30,000 posts btw. There a plenty of your fellow falcon fans that post here and have been members forever but dont have that high of a post count. Maybe you should thought about that before calling someone else out for not having a life. As for me I have been a member here for years and post mostly in rival central. I do not troll and have never started a thread with some ridiculous title. I read the board and respond to the drivel that is posted. As far as being one of the worst teams in the nfl check the winning %'s of teams in the nfl and let me know where you fall in that category. My bet is we are right behind one another. As much as some of you falcon fans hate to admit it we are both the fat girl at the party hoping we get asked to dance.

Nope, never. I don't own any other account on any other forum. I would frequent the Titan's forums because my bro is a Titan's fan, but since they moved their message boards to facebook or twitter or whatever, I haven't been over there. It's pointless. The only thing most of them do is want to stir things up and argue.

I'd rather let the play on the field do the talking...and even then, so what. Great! your team beat my team or whatever, I think it's pretty petty stuff to argue about. It's pretty black and white. It's a win or a loss....nothing much to argue about.

And gloating....Grow up. If you're gonna trek all the way over to someones site just to gloat about a win...you need help imo. Who cares. If we watched the same game (which I'm sure we did) what's there to argue about? I saw it too.

It's a waste of time.

Now this was before week 10 in 07 season...I think. To be honest I didn't look very hard to find anything more current. Given our teams last two years, it's probably about a wash. It's actually kinda funny looking at it. It's sad (granted fewer games played) that most expansion teams since then have a higher percentage than either of us.
I posted it because I don't really care. I know our franchises are very similar and for the most part probably will be forever...I realize that's a long time. And I'm okay with that.
Have a good day all, good luck to everyone (Saints need to lose)(not seein' it though).
Good news, we're a ways away from being on the bottom of the list.

WTF....I didn't mean to bold the Cardinals....
To set the record straight...I'm not a Cardinals fan, but you get my point.

Man, I use ... a lot.


Ha, Ha, I keep forgetting you can edit your posts....I'm like a ninja...crap, there I go using the ... again.

I didn't go to the Saint's boards. However, what you are saying is in line with most of the Saint's fodder here. However, I have to mention there were like 2 or 3 decent bag heads :)

Actually if my math is correct currently we're sitting at (ok I have time)
New Orleans 269-374 .418
Atlanta 270-386 .412

I'm not sure if playoff counts were in there, I did not add playoff w/l since 07. Something's not right with the numbers though.

Were the Saints founded a year later? Or did the original numbers I found include playoffs? NOt sure...anyway, moral is we're pretty friggin' close.


Yeah, found it we were around for about a year longer.
