Although it's only the first game, after last season they needed this game for their confidence for the rest of the season. They played with so much emotion.

I'm not that mad actually. We're better than them, and they know it. We'll beat them by 2 TD's in the dome.

The defense played horribly, but we can't be that bad. We have basically the same team from last year only with good additions. They'll get better. Not to mention Atlanta really has a good offense when fully healthy. Last year wasn't a good barometer for them IMO.

I think we win at least 11 games this season. Maybe not home field advantage worthy, but we'll be in the playoffs.

It was a division game.

It was our super bowl too. They beat us. We were better and just blew it

I hate when people say this to try to rationalize a loss

They were the better team today. Period.

Yes they were, they won. But we'll be the better team the rest of the season. It's only one game after all. We beat them in the dome no doubt about it.

Atlanta obviously has a great offense so we'll see about our defense. But yea...they sucked balls today.

But they weren't. Sometimes the better team doesn't win. It's all good

Not sure what this is supposed to mean. But yes it is the NFL, any team can win any given week, and 1 game has much less significance. I'm not gonna overreact like the majority of people here over one game.

That was Atlanta's season saver. They won a important game that will spring their asses to a string of good luck like every year they weasel out a win against us.

Well, Atlanta played like the game meant more to them for sure. They out played, out worked, out hustled the Saints all day. The fact the Saints defense just bent over and took it really bothers me. If you can't get up for that game, what's going to get you going? Money don't do it (see Junior), expectations don't do it, division rival urinating on you don't do it, what's left? Certainly not pride or professionalism of which they showed none.

Yeah, they played better than us. Its ok to admit it.

With the way our defense played today, we were definitely not the better team.

If the Saints do not earn home field advantage this year, being in the playoffs won't really matter.

Big difference between Superdome vs. on the road.

I am pissed the defense fell apart today. I know it is one game but still....
