This is just a portion of the writeup, Falcon fans make sure to read the entire report. It's a very good writeup.

--Devery Henderson. The Saints like to take a handful of "shot" plays downfield in the passing game each week. They usually go to one of the two primary deep threats: Henderson or Robert Meachem. With Meachem slowly rounding into form after offseason surgery, Henderson was the main target and the Saints tried three shots at him downfield and came up empty each time. Henderson dropped two of the passes. The final one would have been a big gain because he had beaten Dunta Robinson deep. These were the kind of plays the Saints hit routinely a year ago.

--Malcolm Jenkins. The second-year defensive back came back down to earth this week. After two good performances at his new position, Jenkins was exploited by the crafty Falcons attack on a handful of plays for big gains. The converted cornerback took bad angles and was late to arrive on the scene on a couple of key third-down conversions. Chalk it up as a learning experience for the talented young defender.

--Jon Vilma. He led the Saints with 11 tackles but this was far from his best effort. Too many times he found himself caught up in the "wash" against the run, allowing Michael Turner and Jason Snelling big gains up the gut. Vilma is undersized and struggles to shed blocks at times. This was one of those days. Falcons linemen got their hats on Vilma way too often at the second level.

--Carl Nicks. Nicks is a budding star but he didn't play his best game. Powerful defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux won this matchup more often than not and was a big reason why the Saints struggled to run the ball, especially in short-yardage situations.

--Heath Evans. The Saints' failed to convert a fourth-and-1 and a third-and-1 and in both cases Evans didn't get a hat on his target. It's unfair to hang the short-yardage woes strictly on Evans, but he was partly responsible. To his credit, Evans was a stand-up guy afterward, taking full accountability for his sub-par play.

All in all, this was just a sloppy all-around performance by the Saints. It spoiled outstanding efforts by Lance Moore (six catches, 149 yards, two touchdowns; 72-yard punt return) and Jeremy Shockey (eight catches, 78 yards, one touchdown).

Look for the Saints to get back on track this week against Carolina. But they're a banged-up football team after this five-quarter battle with the physical Falcons.

Nola the Falcons missed some golden opportunities as well....

But at least this article admitted they were physically beat down....this much is true....

Of all the Falcons opportunities, I wouldn't call any of them "golden". They were routine plays that hit and miss on a regular basis in every game. Falcons took adavantage of 99% of every opportunity they were given.

There was one opportunity for the Saints, we're talking 24 karat, virgin, straight outta earth gold. <_<

When the **** are they going to fix this stupid *** message board???

It's not "when are", it's "when is". I'm a single person, not a group. Also, the word is DRIVEL. I can "dribble" a basketball quite well and I'm pretty sure I'd make an even bigger fool of you doing it than you are doing to yourself.

...and stop soiling Weatherspoon's name. You should change it to Peter Griffen or Cris Carter.

PHYSICALLY BEAT DOWN AIN'T THE HALF OF IT.

ATLANTA MAN HANDLED THE SAINTS ON BOTH SIDES

OF THE BALL. BRUTE FORCE VS. FINESSE, GUESS

WHOSE GOING TO WIN? THAT WAS THE TYPE OF

TRENCH WARFARE THAT MOST TEAMS WILL NOT BE

ABLE TO HANDLE. (or, want to handle)

reminds me of a song: "Tell It Like It Is"

But at least he is on the right mb pulling for the best team.

Oh, and thanks for the link to a good informative article.

If they can't get "back on track" vs. CAR, they got troubles a plenty. ^_^

One could also point to the ever so slightly overthrown pass to Harry Douglas that the Falcons routinely complete.

That would have ended the game right then and there and Hartley would still be the PK. B)

:lol::lol::lol:

Since when do the Falcons "routinely complete" 50+ yard bombs? They don't call Matt Ryan "noodle arm" up in TATF for nuthin'.

That missed play, in no way shape or form, compares to a kick that is made with 90% consistency in teh NFL. The missed kick was FACTUALLY a fluke. The missed bomb to Douglas was "routine".

Not really...you guys have a shaky kicker and he shanked a kick. Expected him to make it but not really a fluke...just came up short in crunch time. That's like saying us giving up the long punt return that set up the 1st TD was a fluke...or the busted coverage that lead to the Moore TD was a fluke.
