duncja Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The first thread worked so well, I'll offer another statistical analyst of why we will win this game.First: I'm only bringing this up since it was so important against Philadelphia, Sean Payton is 0-2 as a head coach following his bye week.More importantly, the TRUTH, of Drew Brees. There really is no reason to be intimidated with his gaudy passing statistics, as they are seriously misrepresented.Let's look at how he has done on the road this season, where they are 0-3.Brees has 868 yards passing, or 289 yards a game.Brees has 2 TDBrees has 3 INTBrees has a QB rating of 84.3These are extremely mediocre stats, and help explain how this team is 4-4. Brees is quite capable of putting of phenomenal numbers, yet this year seems unable to do it in a hostile environment, which he will undoubtedly face this weekend in Atlanta.Furthermore, over the course of the season, Brees and the Saints get off to slow starts. In first quarters this season, these are the numbers:Brees has 508 yards, or 62.5 per game.Brees has 2 TDBrees has 3 INTBrees has a QB rating of 77.0This is significant because Atlanta, is the fastest scoring team in the NFL. Atlanta has more points in the first quarter than any other team in the NFL. The Saint's have been outscored 42-9 in the first quarter. Atlanta on the other hand, has outscore their opponents 68-14.So these trends coupled, how does Brees do when trailing?Brees has 1,330 yards. Anyone else find it odd over half of his yards this season are from when trailing?Brees has 4 TD. Anyone else find it odd that only 4 of his 15 TD come when trailing?Brees has 6 INT. Anyone else find it odd that 6 of his 7 INT come when trailing?Logic says that when the Saints fall behind, they abandon the run, pass more, score less, and turn the ball over more. So, when ESPN and NFL Network are talking about this game, saying the Falcons cannot stop the New Orleans Saints passing game, realize it's not quite as prolific as the stats would lead you to believe. This is why the Saints are 4-4; and not 7-1.All of this is extremely convenient consider how our marquee players Michael Turner, Matt Ryan, and Roddy White play when leading, at home, or when leading at home.

falconsd56 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 If it comes to the saints having to pass the ball 50 times.................the falcons will win.They WONT stop our offense. if they load up to stop turner. Ryan is going to carve them up.......if they sit back to stop White and our other receivers....Turner/Norwood is going to make them pay.yea te saints offense puts up nice numbers but they are not near as balanced as ours they cant beat you several ways like we can.and he fact we are the only team in the nfl with a top 5 rusher AND top 5 receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossFALCON™ Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 we can beat the saints. if our D steps up, we'll most likely win. our offense can hang with theirs yardage wise. we just have to keep executing in the redzone.we need to get off to a fast start. 5-1 when scoring first.

cwell1 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 i'm not scared of the Saints at all,their only huge threat is Brees. Roddy can torch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindgame Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 if those 3 saints get suspended this week, then we should win, they will have holes in their defense to run through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanjason Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm going to sound like a broken record but if Abe can get the sack machine going and if Babs and JA98 can help him provide the pressure, we can rattle Brees. They are first in passing but only 29th in rushing yards so I'm not too concerned with their run game.. The Saints defense can be exploited. We need to get off to a fast start again and play with the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
