Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blah, blah, blah.
I don't fricken care!! It is going to be so sweet to pop their "legitimate solid football team" balloon on their home field.
I STILL HATES DA FALCONS, AND ALWAYS WILL!!

The Saints had the Falcons beat on a night they did not play close to their best but Hartley blew it. There. I admitted it.

I have no problem admitting this about the Falcons. However, im not ready to put them number 1 in the NFC. I still think were a better team. I do however hope they get homefield in the playoffs if we dont. Id much rather play in a dome then in Green Bay or New York should we meet up.

Its a crap shoot come head to head. I feel Green Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans, New York, and Philadelphia can all beat one another.

There really isn't one team head and shoulders above the rest, nor is there one who is clearly inferior.

If the Falcons win the divison we MUST get the top wild card seed. That way we can travel to the Cardinals or Seahawks come first round and avoid the any North team(s) that plays outdoor.

The Falcons are a fine football team and it will be a great challenge to play them in their house.

The New Orleans Saints will have the opportunity to defeat them again in December.

The Saints look forward to that challenge.

Can't stand the Falcons, but they are a solid team, and they seem to be getting all those weird breaks and bounces that the Saints seemed to get last year... which is really annoying.

I'm not worried about the Falcons. We lost by a fg, which we should have made. Not only did Brees drive down the field like it was nothing in OT, but for the game he was 30-38 for 364yds. They still have a bad secondary in ATL.

I came to the conclusion that Flacco just isn't that great of a QB. He is pretty good in the pocket but once he is forced to move, its a wrap. We will beat the in the GA Dome. I still think that we finish with a better record than the Falcons.

the game last night was similar to our game with them in that they did what they wanted to do on 3rd down

Yeah, I am starting to think they are going to end up with the #1 seed and home field advantage for the play offs.


I'm really not concerned about who gets the #1 seed this year. I don't want to travel to GB or NY in January, but I can see a #4 or even a #5 seed winning the NFC this year with the parity. Travel to Atlanta? Who cares?

What are the chances of the #1 seed winning the NFC two years in a row anyway? I like the idea of beating the Falcons in the Georgia dome to go to the Super Bowl

The Saints are getting healthy. What fans from other teams should take note of is that the defense is stepping up huge, even with the injuries. Pierre Thomas' health is the only thing that worries me right now. He was so dependable especially in the playoffs last year.

In no way are the Falcons better then the saints. The Saints were playing our worst of the season when we last met and gave the game to them. Our next meeting will be a lot different with a much improved defense and offense.
