“With or without Vick, Atlanta's Atlanta, ... It's not Michael Vick that we have to beat. It's the Atlanta Falcons.”
Fred Thomas
“If I'm sitting down to design an intown transit network for Atlanta, this route would just not leap out at the top of my priority list,”
Charles Brewer
“I just tried not to let what happened in Atlanta snowball, I tried to come out really hard, set the tone early, and the guys got the win. I can't get satisfied, I have to keep going. Thing about the NBA is I can have 24 points now, but what am I going to do the next game?”
Charlie Villanueva
“Without Atlanta, there would not be a Delta. And without a Delta, there would not be the same Atlanta. You could say we are in a mutual nonaggression pact.”
Gerald Grinstein
“The bottom line is this is not what we bought into when we came to Atlanta. If we would have known Peerless was going to play a blocking receiver role and not a vertical wide receiver, we wouldn't have gone in that direction. But it was a situation where the Falcons organization went through a changing of the guard, and Peerless got caught in that situation and it didn't coincide with his talent.”
Tim McGee
“I guess you can say we did take a good whipping to some degree...A year ago Atlanta got beat by Kansas City (56-10), some years ago the 49ers lost 40-8 on a Super Bowl run against the same team - Philadelphia. When I was at Denver we had our lumps in our Super Bowl years. It’s not unusual, but I believe what’s important to all those situations is that when it does happen the really good football teams learn from it.”
Mike Nolan
“When you think about it, there's not much between New Orleans and Atlanta. We're going to need shelters here.”
