Saints just better be glad they don’t have to come to East Rutherford.

The Lions (should we beat Dallas) will soon see why.

These dome teams are not impressive on the road in the elements in January. The Saints have repeatedly proven that and I do not trust the Lions to be any different.
—————————————

The Giants would have to come to New Orleans. That is if they limp into the playoffs. I think they have visited once before this season. The Saints almost put 50 on them. Nobody is worried about the Giants, especially the Saints.

I posted that the Saints would win 48-17. I overestimated the falcons. Won’t do that again.

Falcons had a chance to cut it to a one score game early in the 4th, but Julio fumbled and it ended the game, they go down and get a td, and you never know…
———————

And what if the pass to Graham in the endzone didn’t deflect straight into the air and into a Falcon defender’s lap? I believe that would’ve been 28-10 Saints after 4 possessions.

See, I can play the “what if” game, too.

Normally I look forward too these games, but Atlanta laid an egg last night. No pass rush which lead to no pass defense. No running game, and they gave up on it too quickly which they always do when they fall behind. They start to think Matt Ryan is Drew Brees and he simply IS NOT. Good win Saints, I really hope we don’t have to come back there in 2 Weeks

Though I think the Cowboys are actually more dangerous right now than the Falcons. Heck, so are the Seahawks, who’d probably make more waves in the playoffs if they’d have made it in.

But with Brady ready to also pass Marino’s mark next week, a little luster comes off of Brees (even though he’ll probably keep the record). Add that he’s bringing the team to only the 2nd or 3rd-best record in the conference, and it’s too much of a one-trick pony situation to trump the better-in-more-ways year that Rodgers is having.

It amazes me how warren sapp can even have a job. He’s the dumbest wannabe analyst in America. He said Steelers defense is “old, slow and it’s over”….theyre ranked #1 in the NFL!…Then he said…”The super bowl will be the Atlanta Falcins vs the San Diego “super” Chargers…My God how can a guy be wrong all year and keep his job? He should be a weatherman. He’d be perfect for that job but not the NFL!

go find a Steelers story idiot………..Or maybe Warren can come to Pittsburgh as an analyst for your team………..

Matt Flynn is a good game manager but right now he’s not a franchise QB. Too much dink and dunk. Get a lead and the Falcons are done.”

KIR,
I had to look at your posting twice to make sure I read it correctly. By golly, I’m a Packer Fan and I’m guessing you must be as well and have Matt Flynn on your mind :) Last I heard, Matt Flynn was the clipboard/waterboy to Rodgers. That is, unless he decided to sneak into a Falcon outfit, in an attempt to be a starter :)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Amen! Ryan derserves to be criticized because he is doing less with more. He gets plenty of time to throw the ball and his weapons are the envy of the league. The guy has no athleticism and a noodle for an arm. When you pull the cord out of his back he says all the right things, but the guy sucks in my opinion. There is no dropoff when Redman gets into games.

The offense did what it has done on the road this season: fail to score TDs in the red zone. The defense was unbelievably bad in the first half of that game.

I find it funny that people act as if the Falcons aren’t anything more than they’ve shown this season: a mediocre club. They’re no better than the Cowboys, Giants, or the other NFC flotsam and jetsam.
