It's amazing that any Saints fan could go on about "luck" after their 2009 campaign.

Equally as amazing that any Falcons fan can claim dominance with the 7th easiest schedule in the league.

You realize that includes divisional games? Naturally that means the higher ranked teams in the division the previous years are going to appear to have a much weaker schedule than the rest of their division right?

A schedule includes ALL games. Yes, it did dawn on me that divisional games were a part of the schedule. I never said the Falcons has a choice in picking their schedule, only that is is pretty damn weak. Reasoning for your schedule has nothing to do with how weak it is.

This was your year to play the AFC West, the weakest division in the league. They were a .500 division last year and thus far a .500 division at best this year, also being the weakest again in terms of record.

It is what it is... accept that. You cant defend it.

All you can do is play the schedule you're given, and so far we're undefeated. We could be 1-4 after all.

And also the division you've only won 1 game against.... Yet you're still trying to talk down to us like you're some godly force or something.
