I guess when you can’t win anything that matters like the falcons you have to play up big when you when what doesn’t matter. I am not a Saints fan…but the falcons are CLASS-LESS!!!

Until the Falcons get at least the NFC Champship game, let alone win a playoff game, they should just keep their mouths shut.

I’m thinking that it’s time we just abandoned the thought that a violent game like football is going to be considered “classy” period.

There aren’t too many players out there who have been able to tear opponents ACLs or give concussions with “class”

The Saints are calling another team classless? Sincerely shocked, the pot and the kettle.

not the first time these guys taunted Jeremiah Trotter in the opening game a few years back until he lost it and ended up getting ejected before the game started

Class is something you don’t see a lot of in the NFL. (OK, professional sports in general.) Why should anyone be surprised when someone behaves in a classless manner?

As a falcons fan who is enjoying watching Sean Payton rot (primarily for running up the score on the coons last year to get Brees the record)… Brees played like the best QB in the league yesterday, his ability to put the ball in the tightest of windows is so impressive. On another note i love how much attention our rivalry is getting.

Stay classy NOLA. There is no need to stoop down to ATL’s level.

One and done will be the Falcons. Remember how they got throttled by Green Bay the last time they were the #1 seed. it will happen again this year. That’s a fact!!!

“The organization that intentionally hurt players and had a clearly rigged NFCCG calls ATL “classless”??”

What’s the weather like in your fantasy world?

Falcons are a classless organization. This has been the case for awhile now. Is this news?

Let the tailspin begin for the Failcants.

Atlanta’s record is a by-product of their easy schedule. Only played 1 team with a winning record so far (Denver) and only 3 of last 7 games are against teams with winning records (Tampa (2), NYG).

The reason for Atlanta’s playoff troubles? 6-10 teams don’t make the playoffs.

This is typical Falcon BS. For those Dirty Bird fans, how can you say anything right now when you barely beat the cowboys, broncos, RAIDERS, and Panthers? Really, you’re just as bad as the Eagles were at the beginning of the year barely winning games but thinking they were finally getting their stuff together. You really think you can stand toe to toe with a team that has an offense? The broncos and the saints are the only two legit offenses you’ve played. The broncos you played while manning was still getting his arm back to game shape. For your idiot loud mouth WR who makes catches pushing off, see every reception he had against the saints, then sit down and shut up when you lose.

Surprising amount of smack from this team considering time and time again they’ve been unable to get one measly damn yard against the Saints. You’d think they would know their place by now.

It’s amazing that a team loose one game to a div rival, which they could have won, and now they’re not a good team. Thought they were the only team who had not loss a game. Falcons will be there in the end……TRUST!!!!!!!

Unlike Falcon fans bringing up bounties, Saints fans can actually prove that the Falcons have no class and choke in the playoffs.

Ditto aintasinner! And while everyone’s bashing the Saints, consider the FANS while you’re at it. Win or lose, Saints fans will take you out and celebrate. Falcons fans are rude, crude and socially unacceptable. I’ve been to Saints/Falcons games in OUR DOME, and the fans were so vulgar and rude and just plain NASTY. Doesn’t surprise me that the players are the same.

This is too rich. The organization that intentionally hurt players and had a clearly rigged NFCCG calls ATL “classless”?? Haha. Drew Brees needs an explanation. Maybe one direction can give it to him.

I guess I’m one of the few Saints fans that remember 62 to 7 in tulane stadium. And, if I remember although I was only 8 at the time. The Falcons were up 42 to 7 and still thowing the ball. So, forgive me if I don’t give a flying f*** about you opinion ” cowartsh” And, personally my only regret I have when we play you is that we don’t beat you by 50. So, you and the rest of your wanna be, no talent, going home if the first round losers, can go back to your dome and kiss our Super Bowing winning * a$$

This from a team that posed on the falcons logo and ran up the score to get brees his record. Not to mention the whole bounty mess. Get real you damn idiots

At least they scored more than 2 points.

Right. Because the Falcons lost, it’s all because of the bounty scandal. Couldn’t be because of overshot throws or dropped balls.
Gloating and celebrating are parts of sports. Always will be. But they are best left until AFTER the game is won.
Yes I am a Saints fan. I went into yesterday’s game expecting the Saints to lose. When ATL got possession in the last two minutes, I fully expected them to score again, and win the game. I was pleasantly surprised.
Let’s keep some perspective here though. Two teams with a lot of talent played an exciting game. Nobody got stomped. Nobody took the game and ran away with it. It was a close, thrilling game. What more could a fan ask for?

Scott Shanle?! Not Scott Shanle!! Why did they write an article with a Scott Shanle Quote? Why not Ricky Williams, he is more of an asset to this organization than this Arena League player. The guy is a complete schlub and doesn’t even play. They must keep him for his gaping black hole of a mouth to suck in unwarranted media attention to deflect their own classless problems… Taking a picture on the Falcon in 2009, a “saint” of a DC G. Williams, an honest HC, and Vilma, for whom i confuse him with Drew Brees for being so classy…sike.

Some posters are assuming that the Saints are guilty of the bounty ALLEGATIONS. Again, if any of you have proof that the Saints are guilty, please post it and send it to the NFL because they obviously don’t have any proof. As for the game yesterday, it was hard fought and the Saints won. What happens in the rematch remains to be seen. However, you won’t hear the Saints players talking trash like Roddy White. Maybe the Falcons fans should concentrate on getting him to shut his mouth and concentrate on the game. At least two Falcon blown plays yesterday involved Roddy. On the other hand, never mind. If his trash talk motivates our players, maybe it should be encouraged. Who Dat?!!!!

Falcons and Mike Smith have always been classless buffoons. The choke in the big game as well.

Classless acts from a classless team representing a classless city. And alleged bounties have nothing to do with class.

Shanle shouldn’t be snitching to the media. Jocks acting like jocks, nothing wrong with that. This isn’t golf. Everyone from players to fans talk smack, it’s a part of the game.

Lofton wouldn’t have left Atl if he thought they could win anything important but that’s just not gonna happen.
