I think this coming season, we're going to have to "take NO team for granted." As the SB Champs, we're going to have a big red X on our chests for the entire NFL to aim at!

Atlanta is going to be tough this year. I think they have a good coach and QB....although we have a better coach and a better QB. We certainly don't need to over look them......teams did that to us this year.

Atlanta had alot of injuries on defense this past season, just like us. Peria Jerry, their first round pick, didn't play one game, if my memory is correct. It is a GREAT feeling, to know that we have a superbowl, and the Falcons don't. And even if they do win one in the near future, WE WON OURS FIRST. The race was fun, but we won, and you still aint gone none..... Superbowls that is...... Heh heh heh!!!

But why leave out, all the rest of the teams that have made our lives, living hells over the years..... Let's look at all the other teams, with NO superbowl wins......

1. Vikings. Have been close, but never a winner, only a chicken dinner....
2. Eagles. Used to be notorious for knocking us outta the post season. Also, been close many times, but still, NO SUPERBOWL WIN.
3. Falcons. Already discussed.... Heh heh
4. Panthers. Let's not forget how foul mouthed, and disrespectful, their fans have been to us over the years....
5. Bears. Yes, they have a superbowl championship, but after all the things they have said over the years, now we have one as well. Tied up baby!

So many teams to hate, so choose your own order....

You all are saying Atlanta had a lot of Injuries..
Did ya'll forget we also had tons of injuries? we lost players for 3-5 weeks in some cases some never returned or got injured late in the season and weren't able to play at at all in the postseason..
We still put a hurtin on teams and got passed that adversity, Atlanta failed in the "Depth" area, if they can build a layer of starter quality backups like we did, i'll then look at them as a tough team coming into the next season, otherwise i don't see much to be scared of from them..
Buc's and Carolina however could build monster, they have the advantage of having their way in the drafts where the Saints and Atlanta will be out of reach, if they play their cards right they could learn a lesson from Loomis and snag some nice cheap but treasure troves out of Free Agency.

Oh...it makes sense now. Someone saw one of the X's out over Lake Ponchartrain the other day. It must have been headed for the Superdome!
