Realsurfin Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I want to get to the playoffs fast now.. I am ready for this team to excell and take on the whole NFL... if we can shake the injury bug and keep going we can do it.Terry Bradshaw saying the SAINTS are back on track really burns me when we are 8-1... it is time for the Falcons to take over the NFC South and stop losing to the Saints, Buc's and Carolina.. it seems these three teams get a better rep with the talking heads then the Falcons and I am ready for that nonsense to end.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FALCONS TAKE US TO THE SUPERBOWL SO THE SAINTS FANS CAN SEE US WIN...IT IS OUR TIME.

dthar2109 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My hatred for that team in the swamp still hasn't wained. Makes me wanna suit up and hit somebody. It's time for the Falcons to start stepping on people's necks and cutting off their air. RISE UP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 First, not propping the Falcons was disrespecting them. Now mentioning another team as a possible playoff contender is also disrespecting them?Couldn't Bradshaw be respecting the Falcons by giving the Saints a bump for such a big win?

muskokas finest © Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Howie Long just said the New Orleans Saints are the last team Atlanta wants to see in the playoffs.....smdh.Maybe because Brees is 11-2 on us since arriving in N.O.?

Dirtybird56 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Howie Long just said the New Orleans Saints are the last team Atlanta wants to see in the playoffs.....smdh.It's a valid point. We very well may be the best team in the league right now, but the saints are always our Achilles heel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karst41 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 A 10-6 record could put them into the playoffs.They can absorb one more loss and that would be to us.The Playoff race officially begins today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Our team has a mental block when it comes to the Saints. I don't blame em.I mean, I don't think they make the playoffs this year, but I still don't blame em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmethink1906 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well......the did just beat the best team in the league.... so yeah I can see why they would seem like a contender now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawfish2010 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) If the Falcons lose today and the Saints win, the Saints will have a legit shot at the NFC South title. I see at least 3 more loses in the Falcons future. If you can't run the ball and cant' stop the run you're going to have problems.

nomistake Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The reason why Long says the Falcon don't want to see the Saints in the playoffs is...they dont! Why would they? The Falcons have won twice in thirteen meetings. Open your eyes people. i mean can anyone with a fair mind sit here and say that the Falcons would beat the Saints in the playoffs? Look, the Falcons get no respect because they just don't look that good. the skate by teams they should be crushing. Remember when the Saints won the SB... They were crushing teams. There was no doubt that if that team kept playing the way they were that they were unstoppable. Now lets be honest, can anyone say that about the Falcons? Sorry to sound negative and pessimistic, but that is just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomistake Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Ok people here it is...IN1. Atlanta2. San Francisco3. Green Bay4.New York (6-4)5.Chicago (7-3)6.Seattle (6-4)Still Alive7. Tampa Bay (6-4)8. Minnesota (6-4)9. New Orleans (5-5)10. Dallas (5-5)The Saints still have to play Tampa and Dallas (they win and get the tie breaker)... very possibleMinnesota has two games left against the Packers and the Bears (count them out)So it comes down to the Saints and Seattle. ( My bet is the Saints)So 9%... Yes if you go by a computer generated formula that goes by the teams play over the first half of the season... which would be great if computers played football.Anyone that says the Saints are dead in the water is just not doing their homework.

Bring It Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 They have too much to overcome to make the playoffs. But our main concern is locking up homefield advantage and be healthy going into JanuaryThe Saints can beat ANY team, any field, because of two factors :1) The BEST O line in the NFL allowing zero sacks to Brees. He has approx. 45 seconds to find an open receiver on a typical pass play.2) Drew Brees. He can put the ball in any hole, find any open receiver, and drop it on a dime. With his O line he is virtually unstopable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
