I don't find it out of the realm of reality

We lost 3 games all year, all of which were on the road.
Of the three games, we lost to the defending super bowl champs, at their place, on the last play of the game.
2nd game we lost was to a division rival, early in the season before they hit their slump. Again, not a tremendously bad loss.
3rd loss, I get it. We lost to the freakin Rams, unacceptable.
People act like just because we don't score 40+ on the road, that means we can't win away from home. Ridiculous.

I thought it was pretty fair across the board reading the AFC ones and the NFC ones.
Had some interesting points.

well, since most of those games in domes were home games, I find it absolutely shocking that the saints score more points at home.

I attribute our loss to Green Bay as the Super Bowl high. No one would have beat us that first game in 2010 and no one could have beat Green Bay the first game of this year.
No super bowl winner has lost that home opener since it moved to primetime.
We have since significantly upgraded our offensive line with addition by subtraction.
I blame the Bucs and Rams losses on our coach being removed from the sideline.

lolwut?
Then goes into this:

So we're the only team in the league who doesn't play "as well away as at home"?
Since 2009 we're the #1 road team in the league.
Favorable schedule?
We've swept the Falcons, beaten the Lions, and smashed the Giants.We beat the Texans and Bears at full strength who were very good teams. All of these, but one are playoff teams.
I really hate when people just spew things without any facts whatsoever. Without any research I just debunked everything this fool said.

If Colston doesn't fumble away our first possession we win that game.

C'mon. Don't do that. You have no idea what the outcome would be if that hadn't had happened.
Fine, I'll play. He didn't fumble. Then on the next play Drew Brees throws a pick 6 and you get beat worse.
OR
Drew Brees tears his ACL on the next play.
OR
Aaron Rodgers blows a rotator cuff during the next series.
The possibilities are endless therefore saying you would've automatically won the game is... well... laughable.

Ooo the saints can't play on the road...
Way to stick your neck out on that one.
I'm just waiting for 1 pundit to say that maybe just maybe the saints can play on the road. That the loss to Seattle last year is what's been driving this team.

Shh, you're ruining his argument. You're a Falcons fan, you're not supposed to make sense. 
Posted on 1/4/12 at 1:05 pm to DoubleDown
The Falcons fan is right. "If" has no place in a discussion of past events.
Greenbay won. It was close, but they won.
If we play again, it will be very interesting.

No doubt it's a different game if colston doesn't fumble that ball and we don't give up a TD on ST. Which were very flukish plays and almost certainly won't happen again.

What's really funny is I actually like the Saints to make the Super Bowl and win it now.
Here's my little breakdown (AND I FRIGGIN HATE THE SAINTS!):
1) Saints win by 14-17 point this Saturday in a pretty easy win. Stays close until late in the 3rd where the aerial assault from Brees takes its toll. Saints: 34-20.
2) Saints play the toughest matchup they'll face in the playoffs by having to travel to SF. If the Saints D can get a few sacks and stop the run game... Saints should win by 7-10 pts.
3) Saints then likely play GB (The Falcons and/or Giants aren't gonna knock em off). I really think the SF game is a tougher matchup for NO since GB's D is pretty bad especially against the pass. I'm calling a Saints win by 3-7 points.
4) Super Bowl: Saints vs. Baltimore. Helluva matchup. High powered O vs. Brick wall D and good run game. Saints win by 7.
If that comes true... you heard it here first but that's my prediction. SF will be the stiffest challenge to NO based on playstyle, O vs. D, etc.

I agree. I think they will be extremely tough. I like our chances in a shoot out with GB because of our superior run game, but we will have to play tight and clean football to get past SF.

I don't know, I just don't really see this.
If we get up by even 10 points, they can't keep up. Their defense is good, but their offense is pretty stagnant. Seattle's defense held them to 19 points.

I love how they keep mentioning the road when referring to the Saints. Don't think for one second the Saints aren't using this as motivation. We will handle both San Francisco and Green Bay on the road, that is if Green Bay even makes it.
