A bad team that was just barely above mediocre when their dog slaughtering franchise quarterback was scrambling for five yard losses and committing unforced errors. Owners of one of the most disastrous offseasons in recent NFL history, they now have a stable of quarterbacks which includes first round bust Joey Harrington and Jacksonville castaway Byron Leftwich to choose from.
Now that Michael Vick wears his soap around his neck, most of their infamously stupid, arrogant fans have crawled back into the woodwork and would rather talk about the Hawks or Thrashers these days. Despite the outspoken nature of their especially annoying followers (the few that remain post-Vick), fan support has never been one of their strong suits, as one of their games was blacked out recently and entire sections of seats sat empty in their 2007 home opener against the Carolina Panthers. They also like to talk up every scrub and practice squad signing as if they're all Pro Bowlers waiting to happen. An unhealthy obsession with trying to tear down non-Falcon NFC South players that are far superior to anyone on their roster (Steve Smith, Drew Brees, Jake Delhomme, Marques Colston, Reggie Bush, Will Smith, Charles Grant, Julius Peppers, Kris Jenkins, etc.) is also common.
Their recent exploits of note include Michael Vick flipping off his own fans after a home loss to the Saints and a loss to Carolina in which the Panthers repeatedly direct snapped to running back DeAngelo Williams and attempted only seven passes. In Vick's absence, overrated and overpaid cornerback DeAngelo Hall has gladly stepped up to continue Vick's legacy of stupidity, amassing massive fines and costly game-changing penalties.
Easily the most hated team in the NFC South, Saints, Bucs, and Panthers fans can all agree on their mutual dislike of the Falcons and their fans.

Get the falcons mug.The best NFL team in the league, based in the epic city of Atlanta. the Fans are great and female falcon fans are sexy. before 2013, they had 5 winning seasons in a row, and are poised to win a SB in the next 3 years. Led by a top 5 QB in Matt Ryan, with the #2 and #3 best WRs in the NFL in Roddy White and Julio Jones. They also have a Solid LB corps lead by Sean Weatherspoon and Paul Worrilow, and a very young Secondary with the CB duo of Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford.
Most teams with the Falcons on their schedule will cry, knowing it will be an automatic loss.

Get the Falcons mug.A bird with large talons and a historically mediocre NFL franchise that has had some success, but also the biggest choke in Super Bowl history.
Jason had a very large lead in the game he was playing and it looked like he was going to run away with it, but he choked badly, therefore he pulled off a Falcons.

Get the Falcons mug.Jim Mora, headcoach of the Falcons is attempting to change the definition of a football offense. Despite never having back to back winning seasons, Falcons fans are still cocky and ignorant. Michael Vick (RB) is their main weapon on offense. Occaisionally Jim Mora mixes up plays and has Vick throw the ball, but usually into the ground.
NFL defenses has figured out Atlantas scrambling offense, as long as Michael Vick is their direct-snap RB, they won't make it to the playoffs

Person A: Did you hear Great bay (1-7) beat the Falcons?
Person B: Yeah, shows how great their offense is.

Get the Falcons mug.The most overrated team in the NFL. The Saints will absolutely MURDER the Falcons this year and the Falcons will finish in last. Known for not selling out their stadium even if the team is in 1st. Charles Grant will kill Ron Mexico (a.k.a Mr. STD)
Dude #1:
Yo dude, lets go see the Falcons get crushed by the Saints today!
Dude #2: Yeah, there'll be enough tickets for me to invite about 20,000 friends!
