I have been a Georgia Force Fan and have held season tickets for the last five years.  I have been a lurker here for some time, at least through all the BS on which location is better, Philips or Gwinnett.  That was a joke.  Well, as the Force makes there way to mediocre and I head out of the country for six months, I’ll say my piece.

Griessen:  This is not the same QB we had last year, what happened?  His throws are far from accurate and he seems to loose his nerve.   He is now a good backup, which is where he was when we got him.

Bergeron:  What can you say but superb?

Norris:  Great addition!  This guy should have been given the ball in our final drive against the Predators.  He’s not fast but drags tacklers with him.

Defense: Spectacular but gets trumped by penalties.  When you are known for penalties, refs will call them.

Martinez:  Find a way for this guy to play defense so he can win the Ironman award.  14 extra points in a row (2 games), a field goal and three, yes three game saving tackles on kickoffs, and each was hit.  

Plank:  Plank says the team failed to execute on fourth down.  No Doug, they failed on 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd also.  Plank is possibly the worst coach I have seen on time management.  I have seen this in previous years but with 1 minute left against the Predators and a three point lead, he goes for ball control and taking time off the clock.  A run up the middle and a short out on the first two downs and you are in desperation.  See Griessen above.  All you had to do was score a touchdown and the game is over.  No, we want to take time off the clock.

Offensive Coordinator:  Our last four plays were pathetic.  No imagination. 

Blank:  Thanks for the wonderful, “gift to the people of Atlanta,”  ooops, Gwinett.  From your dealings in football, Bernie was obviously the smart one in your previous endeavors.  

OK.  I know.  We have the most potent offense.  Griessen’s rating is high etc. etc. etc.  We are also 3 and 4 with NO wins in our division!  So much for offense. 

Now for Gwinnett:

The fans are clueless.  The last time I saw an audience with this much lack of touch with the performance was at laceName w:st="on">ChastainlaceName> laceType w:st="on">ParklaceType>.  The artist walked off the stage.  Most people didn’t notice.    

Arena:  Welcome to AF2.  Second rate facility.  Food sucks.  No atmosphere.  Jumbotron.  My friends have larger TVs.  You have to get your beer.  Actually, you have to get everything.  So, there is a constant streaming of people back and forth.  But, it has free parking!  Thanks.  I drive a 100 miles round trip to the game with commutes of between 1 to 1:45 for free parking.  And don’t give me the BS that I am not a loyal fan.  I can’t continue to give the time or gas prices for the privilege.  I’ll do pay per view next year.

The Georgia Force will never live out the 10 year contract.  This will be AF2 or gone long before 2018.  And who is the joker that keeps claiming 10,000+ every game.  The home opener was empty!   

Before I actually read this, I figured I was going to tell you that you also needed to kick yourself in the nuts. But, it's hard to argue with much of what you had to say. Good post.
