I'll never really hold it against a team when they are 'lucky'. In many regards you create your own luck. Still, I'm not prepared to give Atlanta much credit for that win last night. That was more about the Ravens not playing well and the officials effing up at every opportunity.

i'm glad you brought that gonzales acting job. it was the most horrible acting i ever saw and got away with call. i yelled OMG there going to call that. he threw his arms out way before the ball even arrive way pass him, great stupid act with officials in tow. thanks SF.

I wouldn't trade 40 years of Saints bad luck and losses for one season of Falcons success.

LOL we all hate em but you gotta give em props for AT LEAST not being the team on the other side making all the mistakes to put them out of the game..
Saints was that team last year not making mistakes they were disciplined last year, this year saints have the most penalties and TO's i've seen in a VERY long time.. This is like watching a re-run of Aaron Brooks years here.. Although statistically were better than a lot of teams in the league we just kick our own ass a lot of the time.. people blame injuries but we haven't yet been dominated, the games we've lost we lost the TO's war and the Penalty battle..
Atlanta has that penalty bug nipped in the butt so far this season, i don't know if thats enough to boost them as a SB contender but it's enough to get to the playoffs.

Can't blame the officials (although I'd like to)

Now the Ravens offense and defense are not exactly the caliber of New Orleans, but still an impressive win.

Any given Sunday, my friends

"You'd like to". then why cant we. Is it because the (outstretched) yet uncalled push off arm of Roddy White lead them to another bulls*%# win. I guess the saying holds true. If you want something done right......

I will be the first to give credit, where it is due. I'm talking as a football fan right now, NOT a Saints fan. Say what you want about our season last year, but I don't remember us getting handed a touchdown, in any of our games last year. A few questionable calls here and there, but the game winning drive? Three calls, that basically gave them the seven? I'm not buying into this load of horse sh*&.
