THE FALCON FANS ARE PLAYER HATERS.

I despise the Steelers, I think Bradshaw, Swann, and Stallworth were all massively overrated. I think they've won more than one superbowl off of a bad call.

They are hated because they have been dominating the league the past couple of years. A lot of people just have the habit of hating teams that are always doing well (THE DYNASTIES): The Yankees, The Patriots, etc.

The best player in the NFL is by far LaDainian Tomlinson. He can run for a TD,catch a TD and Pass for a TD. It certainly isnt Michael Vick. Vick may be one of the most exciting but that doesnt make him the best. In fact he was one of the worst rated QB's in the league. 25th in the league to be exact.

It's mostly a fan thing.  Players don't get too caught up in the hate crap.  Yes, some players have issues with others but that's all over the league.  It has a lot to do with the division and how competitive it has been over the years.  I think it may have started years ago when some bright jerk and one of the networks started calling the Cowboys, "America's Team".  Things went down hill after that!!

Vick will never be the guy some people thought, but consider the expectations were probably too big!  He will lead his team to many victories.\n\nThe problem is the leading receiver was the tight end last year.  With no legit WR's, and knowing the team has no confidence in the WR's (they consistantly lead the league in rushing), allows the defense to control the offense.  \n\nOn D., they had loads of injures who will return, if I'm not mistaken.  That should help.\n\nFinally, they have a pretty intense division with TB, Carolina and even New Orleans, who got some big help in the off season, make it tough for ATL to just waltz over people like Seattle in the NFC West can do.

Sorry...had to comment....but I am defiantly not a nay sayer.  I am a woman who does not like to watch football that much.... GUESS what......I LOVE TO WATCH PEYTON MANNING.. Why? Is he gorgeous....no....HE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED Quarterbacks I have ever seen.  Ok you are thinking what does a woman who hardly ever watches football know...well maybe you are right, but the fact that he is the only quarterback that actually holds my attention says a lot to me.  Passing games are much more exciting to watch than say the Falcons running games (ha ha)  especially when the ball is caught because it was thrown right where it needed to be.

Vick is overrated and overblown. The saints demonstrated that today. He is not balanced, they should relegate him to a running back or something like that. He's no Randall Cunningham, more of a Kordell Stewart. Not to mention, he has no class.

No he sucks as s. I don't care how physical he is. He has already drop two potential game changing passes. Are not those the ones he wants thrown to him? We did not hear him bitchin g about anything after he dropped a TD pass in the 4th quarter. He can not be counted on when its time to perform then he is not worth 2 cents in the NFL. Beside any true NFL fans hates his dumbas s.

The only folks who love Super Bowl 40 were hardcore steeler fans hard up for a victory, as far as a Superbowl to much\nrefs too much Bettis Steeler hype for me.....no way the seattle team could win this it was over days before it begain.\nMore like Professional Wrestling than a NFL game...hey you\ngotta complain or all the Superbowls will be ruined like this one, its your duty as a football fan, I don't know why Steeler\nFans are complaining sad that one for the thumb ended up so bogus...Dishonor to the game....Nobody won #40 everyone was a loser that day..

All you Cowboy fans better get your popcorn ready.......'cause it is gonna be a show. If you understand T.O. or anyone with a similar psychological make-up; you will agree with me when I predict possibly his greatest season ever because he wants to show all of the people who hate him and especially the Eagles that he is a team player....and a great one at that. I like Lavar, but it is hard to win games when you got a highly overrated cry baby, spoiled punk playing quarterback who likes to throw the ball to the other team. It is a no brainer....Dallas.

Obviously some of the other people answering your question don't have Brees.\nI'm a fellow Brees owner and he's basically the reason I'm 9-2 this season and a lock for the No. 1 seed.\nWho has Romo picked apart?  The Bucs... Yup, that's about it.  The people who are on the Romo bandwagon need to chill out.\n\nAs for trading for a TE... Unless you can get Colston, who in some leagues is still considered a TE,  Winslow Jr. or maybe Todd Heap then don't make a deal.\n\nThose are the top 3 TE's.\n\nAlso, since Romo is so hot right now, add another mediocre player in the mix.  Say like a DeAngelo Williams or someone.  Just a fantasy teams 3rd back that is still producing or a flex receiver that will get you points vs. soft defenses.\n\nCrumpler has one major flaw... VICK!!!\nHe may be Vick's main target but Vick isn't good when he's being asked to lead his team.

The problem with Vick is that he looks to run the ball instead of throwing it.  He was that way in college, and his first few years in the pros.\n\nLike any professional athlete, he wants to get his respect in the media, so he tried to adapt his style by throwing the ball more often.  The truth is, he just isn't a great drop back QB.  He has all of the tools, but he just hasn't had to do it all that much.\n\nGiven time, he could be a great all around quater back, but as teams learn his tendancies and shut his legs down forcing him to throw, his "stats" aren't going to be very strong.\n\nI live in Atlanta and heard all of the criticism, but the most telling thing of all is his record as a starting quarterback.  I don't know the numbers off of the top of my head, but he wins about 70% of the games he starts.

Well Don'tW@tch I'd say you don't understand much about the Steelers. To the first idiot actually Steeler Country is part of the team. WE the fans are part of the team. If you don't think that the Terriable Towel has ever rallied the team then you don't understand why it is "Steeler's Gold" and I wish people would stop calling that yellow. We have a ownership that is a family that has held it since 1933 and lot's more bad times then good. We have a coach who is from the city. We are part of the team as fans and the Rooney's would tell you that they consider the fans to be a part of the team. You claim to be a true fan but you don't think fans have any influence? What are you a "true" fan of? Personally I was thinking the same thing as far as we should get rid of Holmes. I mean fine I can deal with the first situation. He likely got drunk and was being stupid. It was Memorial Day and people do that. This one though he needs to remember what team he is with. As to the "new found fame" I don't buy that. We didn't take him from some little no name school. He isn't anymore famous then he was then. I'd say have a talk with him at least.

How can some of you even consider Bill Parcells as "underrated"?\n2 Super Bowl Championships, revived the Pats and Jets and Cowboys.  I mean, are you people insane or just stupid?\n\nHow about, oh i dont know, Brian Billick?  Got the Ravens to the Super Bowl and won, and yet the Ravens are never considered a threat to anyone?\n\nHow about John Fox, and the Panthers, how he turned that team around? \n\nAnd Lovie Smith?  I mean, the Bears are looking like a Super Bowl contender if you ask me (and im a Giants fan).\n\nSome of you people just wow me with stupid answers.....
