Tweets of the Game: ATL at HOU

by Adam Schultz on Dec 8, 2011 12:01 PM EST in Tweets of the Game

I'm sure many of you have noticed my inconspicuous absence and for that I apologize. I'm going through the ardent process of becoming a homeowner. Tack on something else I plan to announce later and you've got one busy Adam. I haven't even gotten a chance to sit down and really watch a Falcons game for three weeks. Finally, Sunday, I got the chance.

I felt like I got trolled hard. The level of ineptitude on display shocked me beyond speechlessness. I simply could not fathom how a team with that much "weaponry" on offense could so utterly and completely fail at scoring. What were we, something like 3 of 15 for 3rd down conversions? Pitiful. I remember hearing at one point that Ryan was 15 for 37. Maybe that's exageration. I'm not sure. It was all hazy through a veil of rage. I stuck it out long enough to watch our biggest and riskiest draft pick in years let a tie-the-game ball bounce off his crotch. It's been that kind of season. Crotch-deflected passes kinda sums it all up. I'm saying this about a 7-5 record team that is somehow mercifully still in the playoff hunt. Unfathomable.

The tweets beyond the jump are as voracious as I've seen. One part elation, three parts confusion, and fifty billion parts frustration, these tweets may or may not be for the faint of heart. You've been warned.

Stiff upper lip and all of that.

Wow, I have nothing good to say. Jeannathomas

What in the $#@! is #Atlanta doing? Steve_ndfan

Going to say that maybe someone should cover Andre. mFalcons5

FOX just showed 0% of a play ruled on the field as a 90-yard touchdown. JasonKirkSBN

Are you $#@!ing kidding me!?!? AtlAmy55

Would love to see some pi calls actually called scar988

Get Matt a damn xanax! Peachyfuture

Well, at least Matt Bosher is punting well. That's...great...and...stuff. TheFalcoholic

The Falcons look completely and utterly clueless on offense. That's part Texans defense, part Mike Mularkey sniffing glue. TheFalcoholic

I don't understand why TJ Yates hasn't tasted turf today FalconsDiva28

Blind, murderous rage. Jeannathomas

lol Tony Gonzalez literally broke cushings ankle LOL APixels

HOW THE $#@! ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WIN IF WE CAN'T CATCH THE DAMN BALL IN CLUTCH SITUATIONS? Steve_NDfan

Smith better chew some serious @$$ at halftime. This is inexcusable. DirtyBird4life

PREDATOR!!! Yates will remember that number. Or maybe not. FalconsJAdams

I don't even entirely know what's happening any more. TheFalcoholic

Atlanta needs to get their $#@! together L0rd91

ALRIGHT! Nice TD! DirtyBIrd4life

The Falcons may be a lot of things, but they certainly aren't quitters. Or Communists. TheFalcoholic

No have English now I fail no understand why happen this. TheFalcoholic

Julio Jones will not look back on today very fondly. TheFalcoholic

Usually tweets of the game have highs and lows

This lack of highs shows just how embarrassing our “effort” was last week.

Nope. Ardent.

Let’s just say we’re excited about becoming home owners… ;)

You have opinions. We all do. Some of yours may have to do with the Falcons. Sign up today and share them.

wildcard

I was looking at da teams thats in the nfc wildcard hunt (det, chi, atl, nyg, dall) and i think a 9-7 team will make it in.

I want 11-5. I want this team to gel and start kick tail.

Oh man what are you smokin'?

Adam really, 11-5? With no offense? You’ve got to score to win. It’s like Horton Foote’s line from Tender Mercies I don’t trust happiness. I never did and I never will.

When it comes to the Falcons that’s how they’ve trained me to think.

No really...we can win...

if someone tells MM that they are offering free coloring books in Alaska..

Dont cloud the issue with facts!

It could still happen, Frozen

Obviously it’s not particularly likely with the Saints game on tap, but it could still happen.

When did we play Houston?

I thought that was just a nationally televised practice

by FLA_Falcon on Dec 8, 2011 4:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions

It didn't count

Hahaha!

Since both of my tweets contained herein convey epic anger, it’s not very surprising that I am STILL MAD. But Dave’s “No have English now…” tweet made me laugh out loud at the time, and again just now.

Wait that game did happen?

I though it was just all a nightmare from eating that (insert Mike Mularkeys anual earnings here $_) cheese burger

You guys take it too seriously

Look at me and OldtimeFalcon. We’ve seen countless games like that. When you’ve seen as many Falcon games as I have it gets easier…..to drink an entire bottle of Vodka because the Falcons make you so nervous/infuriated. Used to be half a bottle and I’d feel a bit sleepy. Not anymore. On days when I think we’ll win I walk through my neighbor’s “corn patch” and come out happy.

Think of that you guys…45 seasons and one Super Bowl and that one I wish had never happened. In all honesty I can say to you…it could be worse.
