Atl Flacons at N.O Saints or

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons Thu, Nov. 29th, 2012 08:20 PM Georgia Dome (Atlanta, GA)

Can I say that? :-)
Seriously, it might be that way. The Ealges, Raiders, Cowboys might all be easy for Atl. right now.

Can I say that too ?:mad:

To be honest, any of those teams have a chance at beating them, but if I had to choose, I'd say the Eagles or Lions.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Hopefully, all of the above.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

The thing to factor in is that every year the Falcons are always a very undisciplined team -- they lapse into overconfidence and fall prey to "trap games" looking past opponents, and they depend on lucky bounces to get those W's. And when they don't get the lucky bounces, they can fall apart in a game pretty quickly.

The Eagles could give them a closer game than people expect (has happened in the past) and I could see the Cardinals being a game the Falcons "drop" in that unprepared, sloppy way of theirs -- one of those losses where their wheels completely fall off, and they look terrible out there. I absolutely think the Saints can beat the Falcons, when Vitt is back. I have this feeling that Vitt is gonna be out to pick them apart, to make a statement.

The key to beating the Falcons is always just to survive the initial onslaught -- they come out jawing and jumping around and smack talking and flashing their gang signs and stuff, then if you withstand that first onslaught, you can hang in there and shut them up and beat them...Washington came very close to winning, and it's all because they survived that initial surge, of jabbering and chest-bumping where the Falcons are all jumping around and acting thuggish. Then the undiscipline starts to show up.

I don't usually care about rival fan smack talk and the like, but this is so out there I can't help but point it out.

What do you mean?

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Calling the Falcons undisciplined and saying they fall into "trap games."

Starting from 2008, I simply haven't seen it.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Just going on regular season -- not even talking about Falcons playoffs, because that is such epic FAIL it can't even be measured or discussed in a thread like this


Pittsburgh Steelers, 2010, your team was sloppy and unprepared against a backup quarterback

Chicago Bears 2011, your team freaking fell apart on the field, was that a disciplined team?

Overconfident against the Eagles in 2009, AT HOME, maybe looking ahead to the Saints next week???? Actually both your games prior to the Saints in 2009, both LOSSES that caught the Falcons napping against opponents they should have easily handled. Definitely not a whiff of "trap game" there, no sir.

2008, crapped out and laid an egg against the Broncos AT HOME (again), sandwiched between the Saints and the Panthers. Picture perfect textbook definition of trap game. Want me to keep going?

You "haven't seen it" -- oh wait, that's right -- Dunta Robinson never spears anybody, you also haven't seen that, LOL. Too funny.

Over confident against the Eagles in 2009? Jesus Christ, half of our offense was out for the game, including Matt Ryan. And losing to the Steelers and Bears, first game of the season, on the road, is a trap game? The Broncos game was decided on two plays, one being a dropped pass that would have been the game winner.

We've consistently been one of the least penalized teams in the league under Smith. Calling the Falcons undisciplined is just laughable.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

I just gave you three examples of classic trap games you lost, and two examples of a sloppy, undisciplined team losing against a team they probably should have beat. If you don't like facing the facts about your team, then you should probably just leave.... You keep swinging and missing, my friend. Excuses, excuses. "I didn't see it" "that's not a spear" LOL.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Raiders, Eagles or Cowboys ... one of those three teams should get 'em before the Saints game, probably the Eagles ... it's hard running 8-0 in the NFL.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Holy crap! This is the first time that I've seen their panzy-azz schedule! They are well on their way to becoming the most overrated 1st seed in the NFC two out of the last three years. If they don't, they should be ashamed of themselves! The Dillon Panthers could have a winning record against THAT schedule!

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

So... they were trap games because you say they were. Nice. Do you want to have a discussion or are you going to keep slinging mud?

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

The only difference between the Saints schedule and our schedule is that you guys play the Packers and 49ers, while we get the Cardinals and Lions. Against common opponents, the Saints are 1-3 while the Falcons are 4-0. Are you trying to say the Dillon Panthers are better than the Saints?

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

I'm trying to say that your Falcons are overrated yet again. They were overrated as the #1 seed two years ago, and they will prove it again this year. Don't be shocked if the Falcons make yet another early exit from the playoffs.

P.S. The way the Saints played the first four games on defense, then yes. The Dillon Panthers were better than the Saints.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

You guys are just hoping we're the same ol' Falcons. I think I can see it.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Well we aren't going to finish the season undefeated, so I think our first loss will come against the Eagles or Cowboys. I don't know why, but we seem to struggle a lot against NFC East teams.

Re: Which team will give bird droppings their 1st loss?
 

Falcons probably should of lost 3 games this season already.

The idea their schedule is home one week, and away the next all season long makes it where the Falcons cant possibly lose to anyone, specially since every decent team on their schedule is at their place.
