Saints have a chance to take over Falcons facility

The Saints are close to securing the ability to play all their playoff games in their own building.

But if they make it to the Super Bowl, they’ll be taking over their division rival’s.

Via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Atlanta host committee said the NFC representative in Super Bowl LIII will work out at the Falcons facility in Flowery Branch, and use the home locker room at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

That would obviously thrill the Saints, for reasons beyond the obvious one that they’d be in the Super Bowl. The AFC team will practice at Georgia Tech and use the visiting locker room.

“Um, whomever is playing for the championship, I guess I’m most disappointed that we won’t be the ones playing and practicing in our facility,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said.

He’d be even more disappointed if he walked back into it afterward and found someone gave it the Eli Manning treatment.

Oh well. Quinn and company should have handled business. If the Saints reach the SB, it is what it is

[osiruz 5,551]

Uh serves us well, play like chyt get treated like chyt.

this is a real article? Is the playoffs over already? wow

[JD dirtybird21 8,897]

Eh, practicing in Atlanta at Branch could cause some fans to be distracting. I’m all for it. 

[celtiksage 749]

Yeah me too. I'm for it. Once they see that nice facility, maybe we can snag their best FAs on the cheap. They'll all be wanting to come to the Falcons. Hahaha

Won’t affect me either

welp...

[motivation2k3 30]

Lol People will really be pissed if they won in our stadium. They need to get a life outside of football, but the bragging rights may be theirs forever. Even if brees retires, they can say they won 2 and 1 in our own stadium and popped bottles in our dressing rooms smh

[motivation2k3 30]

What if Coach Payton writes 28-3 on the wall to motivate them at halftime if they are up to not fall down...**** the trolling would be crazy

[FalconinPA 10,290]

Somebody's got to get use out of it.

[dirtybirds999 431]

Who cares

[datchrisb1 471]

All these Super Bowls I'm pretty sure if they made it, this wouldn't be the first time a division rival made it to play in their home stadium. Wait a minute I think I will look that up.

[youngbloodz 10,684]

They wont beat the Bears or Rams with the way their offense has been playing 

[mattyicefalcon 3,520]

This bunch of fake news!

Have the playoffs started?

Major disrespect to other NFC contenders....will add more fuel to their fire.

[HEIST 4,582]

NFC Champion (my bet would be the Saints) will practice at the branch.

have you seen the Rams defense lately? even Jared Goff isn't doing that well either

[mqg96 1,540]

It's happening as we speak. Second by second. Minute by minute. Hour by hour. Day by day. The fate and doomsday event of Atlanta sports is on the horizon.

It doesn't matter cuz they'll be in New Orleans the whole time. Haven't lost a hope playoff game since 1993 to the Eagles in a different era. No way in **** Brees and Payton lose a home playoff game.

I remember when Green Bay was undefeated at home during the playoffs too. They will get an L this year in the playoffs at home

Loyalty to the league first.

Loyalty to the rivalry second.

Even if so, Rams defense has been inconsistent all year and Jared Goff has gone downhill. The Bears are a defensive team and they can't get into shootouts, and let's say they're trailing late in the game, do you trust Tribusky? Doubt it. The Bears blew a lead to a one legged Aaron Rodgers earlier in the year. They barely beat the Cardinals in Arizona. They lost at home to the worst Patriots team in 9 years, and they lost on the road to the Giants. There's currently nobody in the NFC I see winning in New Orleans in the playoffs in what's possibly the last go round for Brees and Payton together and they want to end on a high note.
