The Falcons are this year's Hard Knocks team. That brings a big snore from most NFL fans. At least it does me. But, being that so many teams do not want to be featured on that show (as it is somewhat intrusive and adds distractions - something no teams want, generally), beggars can't be choosers. Two years ago, the Falcons were some what interesting, with a decent QB, two top tier WRs on one team, a hall of fame TE, etc. They made the play offs and advanced. But last year, they lost those stud WRs, had no rushing game, a weak D and returned to being boring and irrelevant.
I don't know how interesting this season of Hard Knocks will be - a show that I used to anticipate greatly, coming out Wed. night. But, I bet this season will have the lowest ratings of all of them. There just aren't many Falcon fans AND they are just of little interest. What other teams draw the least interest?
- Jags. Not only are they among the youngest franchise, providing little history, but they just haven't had many notable players in their relatively short history. Sure, they actually had some surprising success in the late 90's, with such quality players as Mark Brunell, Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith, Keenan McCardell, Tony Boselli, Hardy, Brackens, Jeff Lageman, Donovin Darius, etc., they have had endless bad drafts since. They might be finally turning the corner now, who knows. But they are definitely among those franchises that most fans just don't care about.
- Titans. Definitely had their glory days as Oilers, even though the Steelers blocked them from any Super Bowls. Not only were the teams on the 70's very good, with Earl Campbell, Dan Pastorini, and a great D, the era of Warren Moon, all those WRs, top RBs, great OL, great D were very talented teams as well. Of course, the Steve McNair/Eddie George era was good, but since then, they are just a boring team no one cares about (but still always beats us).
- Bucs. Yea, finally won a ring, but have since returned to being a team no one cares about.
