The NFL's Drought Days Begin Now

by Dave Choate on Feb 6, 2012 8:00 AM EST in NFL News

Hell of a game last night, no?

Unfortunately, with the end of the Super Bowl comes about two weeks with absolutely nothing going on. The NFL Combine begins on February 22nd, but between here and now there's not a whole lot going on besides speculation and gearing up for free agency and the draft.

Of course, we'll be landing analysis and running features all throughout that time, so there will still be plenty going on here at The Falcoholic. But I'd also like to know what you want to see, if there's any historical moments in Falcons' history you'd like re-visited or any looks ahead you'd want us to do. No time like the present to dig up some gems, given how dead it's going to be in the world of the NFL.

So the floor's open. What features would you like to see as we make our way through the next couple of weeks?

Analyze games from this season and talk about the game changing plays from each week.

Also I always wanted too know just how accurate are draft predictions and who ( nationally/locally) has gotten pick for us correct.

2011 mock drafts

had us taking Kyle Rudolph in the first round, at least that was who I saw the most. One had Atlanta taking DeMarco Murray in the third. Some previews have spot on selections, some are way off.

Every now and then a campaign goes horribly wrong

I’m glad that’s over.

“..Now it’s time what we all came here to see…HARDCORE NUDITY!!!”

speaking of revisited...

About a week ago, I tried to create a totally awesome post on the 80 season, but then the link I had was apparently too awesome, and the NFL took it down. Parts 2/3 & 3/3 still seem to be up though.

That's the year my hatred for Dallas was born.

by BlueFender on Feb 6, 2012 11:06 AM EST up reply actions

That team really started my love for the Falcons

They had a great OL, RBs, D and the QB who set the benchmark for the franchise.

by drmondo667 on Feb 6, 2012 12:32 PM EST up reply actions

I would really like to talk about

Which player we Actually have a Shot at drafting and not just Hopes. Also, I would like to discuss which Free agents we will actually Pursuing/have a chance at Signing. Oh and one more thing…..I would love to talk about Why in the world We NEVER wear our All-Black Uniforms???!?!???! Those are Simply my Favorite.

Mike Nolan

Would love to hear his thoughts as he digests the defense of the Falcons; what players are keepers, diamonds in the rough, and those that have no hope…

Agree on this one.

Something I would love to hear

I just want to give my thanks to the Falcons and their fans

That reverse curse of yours, (beating the falcons=Super Bowl) has made me one happy Giants fan.

I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!

Let's Go Giants!!!!

As much as I hate it,

it’s the next curse we’re gonna have to break.

Favorite part of the season

Draft is the favorite part of the season. Get to see how your future of your franchise will shape out.

Been a falcons fan since the big starter jackets was in style

Dave, why not do a mixture?

I’d love to see stories about our future (new coordinators, FAs, schemes) as well as looks back at our franchises highs and lows. Some of the younger guys might benefit from learning about players from teams past and the older guys get to reminisce. Besides, reminding us about some of our less-than-bad teams might help us keep it together when our current one makes a bad play…
