if the saints have been winning like that now, how will the playoffs be any different? we just beat one of the top teams in the NFC, so why worry ab it?


If a team is one dimensional, you can attack them. The Falcons were pressuring the passing game all night long but not giving up big plays. The Saints should be very worried about their lack of running game in the playoffs.

Turner was not a burner, Gonzales was a non-factor, White was black, and Ryan was ineffective. So, maybe ATL should be worried going into the playoffs. The refs were obviously not letting ATLs WR push off like they normally do. Seems like Payton may have asked to be on the lookout for that stuff. Saints can run the ball. They have the stable to do it. Sometimes for whatever reasons, Paytons gameplan just relies on Drews arm more. Throughout the season we have been decimated at the RB position. I have a feeling you will see alot more PT/Ivory in the playoffs.

The Atlanta offense scored 7 points and you feel good about playing the Saints? I would rather face Atlanta if the Saints have to play on the road as opposed to Chicago or Philadelphia for weather reasons, but I think Atlanta/New Orleans are dead even. Only difference is we know New Orleans knows how to win in the playoffs.

The pass rush dumbasses. We just missed tackles. Should have had a half dozen sacks but brees did a great job alluding out of control blitzers.


Brees isn't the fastest qb in the league by any stretch of the imagination, but he avoids sacks better than just about anybody. There's a reason we are one of the least sacked teams teams in the league.

true.

the Saints will make 0 adjustments and just allow your blitzes to penetrate our line again in the exact same manner

I feel very good about facing the saints in the playoffs. Our rush was solid all night. Just need to wrap up and limit the offensive mistakes.


That's funny because I feel good about playing you'll in the playoffs too, since the falcons need missed field goals and Brees throwing stupid picks to keep you'll in the game. It doesnt matter the packers will beat the falcons 2nd round!

yeah and what do you have to show for it? You say the saints are one dimensional? What about the falcons last night? Your offense was terrible and got completely dismantled. GTFO

I didn't read this whole thread so I'm sure its been mentioned but... I'd like to see how those blitz's will work with a healthy Ivory running the rock!

Falcons got owned last night... suck it!

our current players know how to win in the playoffs. That seems like a valid point to me.
