Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

It's time to move on to the next game...

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

It shouldn't be needed against Atlanta but I would be playing a loop of the last 7 minutes of the Giants game in the practice facility to remind the team
not to let up.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Any news on Taysom's return and actual status?

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

'cause under my feet, yeah
the grass is growin'
yeah, it's time to move on...
it's time to get goin'...

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

I guess we can't complain too much about losing MT for the year when Ridley seems like he will be out for a while with the undisclosed personal issues. No excuses, gotta show up against our old foes.

Atlanta is a struggling bunch however I’m not eating the cheese.

Division rival & coaches/players jobs are at stake. Those guys are Pros too. It ain’t like we have Brees starting and a #1 WR lining up.

Any Given Sunday.

Saints by 10 :p. :bng:

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Any ideas on who will actually start? How is Hill doing? Is he ready? If so, is there a chance SP starts Trevor instead?

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Let's eat, Saints defense!

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

I hate Atlanta traffic, fans, and most especially their team. 3-28 Forever!

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Great song.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

People in Atlanta aren't even paying attention and may not realize who the FailClowns are playing this weekend. The Braves are the only story in town. Friday is the Braves Championship parade. Even though I hate the dirty birds and most of their fans, I am a Braves fan and very happy about the world series win.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

I've been a Braves fan longer than I have been a Saints fan. Who couldn't love Hank Aaron in the early 60's. Well, there those bigots, of course, but to a kid in South Dakota he was amazing. When I coached Little League we were always the Braves.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

I must admit to being a Braves fan since the late 70's. I haven't been to a game recently but that's only because I hate the city so much.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

I don't mind the Braves. I don't mind the tomahawk chop at all. The chant, however, is grating 😬

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Screw the Braves...Let’s Go Mets !!!

Although I do like that their series win was a big “Screw You” to the league for taking away the All Star Game. Imagine the “Logic” they used...Georgia passed a law requiring ID verification to vote. So what does MLB do? They take the game away from Atlanta and give it to another city/state that has a…voter ID requirement! You can’t make this crap up !

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Been a braves fan since we got cable back in the mid-seventies I guess it was. I remember 'em all. Skip Carey, Ernie, Joe, and others, literally taught me baseball. I NEVER missed a game. Remember Mark Lemke? Glenn Hubbard? I saw Chipper play his first and last game. After him I got away from it.

Then came back to baseball a few years ago...in time to watch Freddy Freeman's Braves go from suck to pretty damn good, and then what happened with this team since July. They literally rebuild an outfield mid-season and won the whole damn thing.

I hate me some falcons, but I do love me some Braves baseball.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Any news on Vannett?

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

He was at practice and not on the list at all. He appears to be full go.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Cool, we need him.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

He's been at practice this week so he's good to go.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Looks like Ian Book is active for the game.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Bingo. That means Book will be acting as backup and Taysom at his regular joker position. I'm kind of surprised, but Payton must have more confidence in ALL of his QB's than I had expected.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

It's silly to be surprised by this. Taysom Hill is a great athlete that can do many things well. Siemian and Book are strictly Quarterbacks. That's their specific role. Payton's choices here are obvious.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

Please don’t cover TE Kyle Pitts the traditional way with a safety or LB. He’s their best receiving option so don’t hesitate to put Lattimore on him the way Carolina put Stephon Gilmore on Pitts.

Re: Saints vs Falcons Pre-Game Discussion
 

My favorite quote from the Falcon faithful so far ...

"I think it will be close but we lose. 35-10".
