Is Any City More Cursed With Pro Sports Than Atlanta?

You honestly think Tom Brady would be 1-4 if he had half the weapons Matt Ryan does? No way. Heck even now he has 1/10 the weapons Matt Ryan does and they are still 4-1.. Peyton manning made the broncos elite. When he left they had nothing. They sucked. Andrew luck came. And he proved himself elite. No way would I call our o-line elite either. It's good but not exponentially better than the falcon's

Not to fear. The Hornets will soon be back. It's about dang time too.

And so were the Indians or the Cavs until the playoffs. These guys, for years and years, has always been putting fans hopes up only to give it a crushing blow.

When LeBron was with the Cavs, you don't ever ask him to break your dollar because he won't give you the last quarter.

My very first time watching a football game was at the old Brown's stadium in winter 1992/93 season. Browns versus Oilers. Yes the old Browns that are now the Ravens. It was well below freezing temps and the wind blowing off Lake Erie could chop your nose off. Fans had their shirt off showing bodies painted in Browns colors. Die hard fans screaming at the top of their lungs. Browns led by 3 touchdowns until the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter... And the Oilers win the game.

That's Cleveland.

Matt Ryan, elite? Lmfao thats cute

Woe is the Atlanta sports teams.

I'd easily put Seattle or 49ers before Atlanta. Hell, even the Saints and I hate New Orleans and I'm from Louisiana. The Braves may of had the better record but the Dodgers have more experience.

Seriously? The 49ers have wonmultiple Super Bowls and at one point had the greatest QB and WR of all time on their team. And the Saints, except for last year, have been dominant with Drew Brees and have won a Super Bowl.

And the people saying Matt isn't Elite need to back that up. The stats say otherwise. Even with everything happening he is still in the top 10 of every meaningful QB stat.

• 8th in NFL in TD (10)
• 4th in NFL in CMP% (69.3)
• 7th in NFL in YDS (1,649)
• 6th in NFL in RAT (100.9)

I don't play the "blame the QB for everything" game. You gotta judge the player what they do and not what their team does. That's why Barry Sanders is considered the best RB ever even though the Detroit Lions never did anything meaningful while he was playing. And why Dan Marino is a Hall of Famer even though he never won a Super Bowl.

If Matt Ryan was having his own personal melt down like Shaub in Texas then I would have a different opinion. But he's not. He's playing well despite the collapse of the offense around him. And now he's about to have a couple of street people he'll be throwing to. Let's see what happens.

Stats are cute, playoff wins and super bowls are cuter though.

Matt ryan has julio jones, roddy white and tony gonzalez. Steven jackson is also a great RB. How are they NOT winning? How is he NOT taking them to the playoffs every year? Don't try and say he doesn't have the weapons to lol. All they have to do is fight off the saints for the division... The pats have a bunch of no-names and rookies on their team and they have a better record lol. And they fought off the SAINTS last nite with their no-name players and rookies. If matt ryan was elite he would be winning games right now, he has the weapons to, just like manning does. Brady doesn't have the weapons and he's doing it...

Barry sanders isnt the best running back ever, far from it imo. He was good, don't get me wrong, but all that dancing around also earned him another fancy stat: most negative rushing yards. Maybe if he had won a SB or two it would negate that fact though...

You mean like what the Brady bunch has been doing all year...? Ohhh booo hooo lol

They're talking about bringing the Raiders to Oklahoma. I mean, after what we did for first the Hornets and now the Thunder, I think we deserve an NFL team.

I really wish the Colorado Avalanche would leave colorado for OK as well, then throw in the Braves (the only I care about when it comes to baseball).

I mean, we created a legitimate contender for the NBA title two years in a row. Why not a football team? Professional hockey? MLB team?


Oklahoma > Atlanta.

Apparently you didn't read my other posts. Matt Ryan has a piss poor O-line and injury after injury to his weapons. And having a paper thin defense due to injuries on that side isn't helping either.

Roddy white has played in atlanta for what, 5 years now? At least 5 years. Tony and julio both got there like 2 years ago. Before jackson they had michael turner. Before gonzalez he had alge crumpler. Was their o-line bad all those years too? Their defense injury riddled all those years too?

Matt ryan isn't elite. The falcons will not win a super bowl with matt ryan. I'm calling that like i called sanchez not being an elite QB even though everyone and their brother told me he was gunna be lol.

EDIT: and tell me more of injuries to your weapons while i'll cry over gronk, vereen and amendola lol
