It was a bad day in Falcons news. We lost Biermann and Ewing a few days ago - those hurt. Today we learned that Spoon is out for the next 8 weeks. My heart skipped a beat at that one. To add insult to injury, Mr. Jackson is out for 2-4 weeks. I am... Depressed.
It's ok to be sad and depressed about this news. We should all take that time. BUT... Let me remind you of a few things.
We still have Smitty, Nolan and Koetter!! We still have Dimitroff! Not a one of these guys is going to pull a Petrino!! These four men KNOW what they are doing and we are right to put our trust in them.
Most of us have been Falcons fans for a very, VERY long time!! Remember the 70's? The 80's? The 90's?!?!? Heck, remember Pre-Smitty in the 2000's???? If you were a fan then, like I was, there is no reason to jump ship now!!!
There are guys on our team who most of us don't know. This is their time to RISE UP!! They have practiced for and worked for this moment since they were little guys and this is the chance they have been waiting for!! It's up to them now and we gotta support them and cheer them on - Spoon will be cheering right there with us!!
Sometimes, things just don't go the way you plan. Sometimes, they are worse. Sometimes, however... Sometimes you get lucky and everything just works!!! It doesn't help to get upset and depressed - none of us can fix this!!! If Smitty or the guys call any of you for advice... I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT!!! They sure as heck don't call me!!! All we can do is stand by the team that we love, that has earned our respect and the coaching staff that has earned our trust!!
I am a proud Atlanta Falcons fan!! I might be worried. I might be nervous. I might have questions and doubts...but I'm not giving up on my guys!!
