Falcon's / Saints has ALWAYS been a great rivalry game that is hard fought. The Falcons came to the Dome last year and it was a huge fight. Lots of people don't remember the Falcons beating the Saints with "Big Ben", nor do they remember the long stretch where the Falcons didn't beat the Saints for year during the Dome Patrol years....
As for a rivalry, I honestly like the visiting Falcon fans who jive a whole lot but seem to high five and josh around with us to have fun. ...
You guys played a great game and won, congrats - but watch out, the second Saints/Atl meeting in the Georgia Dome will (hopefully) be revenge for the Saints. ...
...I remember long ago (Fulton County Stadium long ago...) when either one or both teams stunk bad, even then it was always a barn burner.

Welcome cablebandit. Our board is pretty much people who have lives, so you wont get much drama.
I remember all this stuff too, Halo, back in the days when we BOTH sucked. Yet beating the Falcons would make you smile, and I'm sure ATL enjoyed beating us too. I remember William Andrews and Bartkowski, and that kicker who was really a bartender, who just tried out one day, and became a sensation. I want to kick the Falcons butts, but you know, I rooted for you against Dallas (and I live in Texas), and those damn 49ers. Im old enough to still dislike the 49ers. (before the re-alignment)
I too enjoy your fans coming to town and partying, and talking junk, but boy, there was this one lady Sunday walking out of the Dome who 90% of her butt was showing, and it was not pretty. I always tell them, "see you in a few weeks....." |
