Earlier in the season, the game came down to the last play.

The Falcons had a bunch of guys injured on defense, and I believe if healthy the Falcons would have won outright.

This week, Deon Jones, a top 5 LB in the NFL should be back, and the defense is playing better. Julio can’t stay out of the end zone now as compared to earlier in the season, so I expect big things from #11 and the rest of the team. The falcons have the offense to compete with New Orleans, and plus it’s a rivalry game.

I’m thinking
Falcons-24
Saints-21.

Drew Brees has been going in dry on every defense he has faced this season. The TB loss was a fluke. Don't expect him to slow down any on Thursday.

I think the Falcons can win, but I think holding the Saints to 21 will be nearly impossible for them.

Listen kid, can the falcons win? Sure, it’s the nfl. But it’s literally impossible for them to hold the saints to 21.

Yup, amazing rivalry game like always

We also had Crawley who was a walking PI, PJ Williams who played like arse since he didn't get much time with the starters because PRob was the nickel guy.

He might not even be close to 100%. Ontop of that, Saints D have played vastly better compared to their pre-eli apple games.

I always expect Julio to go off, every game.

I also don't think yal have an answer for Mike Thomas, Alvin Kamara, and if Tre'quan/Kirkwood can keep that up..them too. Trufant has looked bad, Alford holds a frick ton.

Yup, except for some odd reason yal's offense has SIGNIFICANTLY slowed down the last 2 weeks.

16 vs cleveland
19 vs dallas

You better keep wishing, lol

If you use “literally” in the informal sense it adds emphasis

Like, “the saints are literally going to shite on the falcons Thursday”

It’s a rivalry on a short week. Anything can happen. Debo coming back could be a big difference.

However...home teams on Thursdays have a heavy advantage and the Saints are playing UNVELIEVABLE football. The Saints are a lot better than Atl. A lot better.

Saints were depleted of injuries last year and one bad play away from being in the nfc championship. From a player that’s a starter not a backup. We had DEs and LBs coming off the street who weren’t even on an nfl roster midpoint of the season, also backup SS.

I don’t care what online dictionary you read. That’s NOT what that word means EVER. Millennials and snowflakes probably added that definition to justify using that word 100 times per day. See if you can go ONE day without hearing or reading it. Impossible unless you’re in a coma.
