Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith seemed annoyed by the question, but he answered it.

A reporter asked Smith this week if he is concerned about there being more New Orleans Saints fans than Falcons fans at the Georgia Dome on Thursday night.

"Absolutely not," Smith said. "Our fans, I think, are the best in the NFL. We've got a great record since we've been here in terms of winning football games. They've been very supportive. I know that they are disappointed and they are discouraged, but there's nobody more disappointed and discouraged … than us here in this building and on this football team.

"We certainly hope that they'll be out there supporting us this week. It's a big division game."

---Mike Smith



Keep hoping Smitty!

Thursday Night Football sucks. I was bummed when I saw this match on the calendar when the schedule was first released.

Usually Saints-Falcons is big, but this year the Falcons show no signs of life. Combine that with TNF and everyone just kind of assumes the Saints will win. There should be plenty of attention next week.

You have an 8-2 team that everyone fully expects to crush a 2-8 team. Even advertising-wise you can't really hype this matchup.

Be a lot of hype next Monday when it's 10-1 vs 9-2



ESPN is already jacking off to this, and so am I.

Take care of business tonight, Saints.

Like I said before, this Thursday game works in our favor. We get 3 extra days of rest and preparation for Seattle. If I'm Payton I give the guys off until Monday. Let guys get some rest and our injured players some work on rehabilitation.
