Doctor Kildare Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It was a tragedy that Sunday's score ruined what could have been one of the greatest moments in New Orleans history. Saints give Falcons pointers on trolling do's, don't's in very personal 'Us vs. Them' The New Orleans Saints might have fallen to the Atlanta Falcons in a surprising upset on Sunday, but they put on a master class in trolling in a very personal edition of Us. vs. Them. The popular in-stadium segment typically plays during the fourth quarter of games in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with the Saints poking fun at comparisons between New Orleans and the home city of the opponent. Those comparisons are usually silly, and sometimes even poke fun at New Orleans itself. The Falcons, however, caught quite the serious taunting from the Saints. Halfway through the segment, the Saints compared "complaints to the NFL,' calling out the Falcons for their 2018 complaints to the NFL that the Us. vs. Them segment that played at the Superdome during the 2017 Christmas Eve game between the two teams was "too mean." In comparison, the Saints held up their complaint about the no-call on the Los Angeles Rams against the Saints in the 2019 NFC Championship game — calling it "a valid compliant." That set-up led to the haymaker that was the Saints finding a way to get revenge on the Falcons' previous attempt to troll them earlier this season while finding yet another creative way to remind them about their failed Super Bowl trip in 2017. The video was "interrupted" by a fake public service announcement on the "do's and don't's of trolling." "Take caution when trolling a rival, and be sure to focus on something they did to themselves, not something that was done to them," the video said, followed by Atlanta's troll attempt of the no-call in their 2019 season schedule release video as an example of a trolling don't. As for the trolling do? The Saints highlighted "record setting Super Bowl performances" to cap off the segment, pitting the Falcons' "biggest lead blow in Super Bowl history" — their 34-28 loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51 after leading 28-3 at one point in the game — to the Saints' "most completions in a Super Bowl" — Drew Brees' 32 in the Saints' Super Bowl 44 victory against the Indianapolis Colts. While the Who Dat faithful are usually very into the weekly video packages, this one didn't receive its typical fanfare. The Saints trailed by 14 points at the time and Falcons went on to win 26-9, handing New Orleans its second loss of the season. https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/article_775940c0-0402-11ea-ae20-2335c1921a9c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyBruh Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Those people are mostly pathetic. Only thing I care about is the win, and guess what, we won. Don't matter how many super bowls we lost, don't matter what the records are, don't matter how hard they troll. They lost.

And yes I'm counting back all those board changes where we all lost thousands of posts! turd and toilet.....if that isn't about the best comparison for the taints and their stinky city and stadium, there simply won't ever be one and we're not even getting to the steaming pile they laid on their home field either!
