Do We REALLY Have A Chance?

either the Saints win in a squeaker, or the Falcons run us out of the Dome.

I think this game will depend on if the Falcons DB's are up to taking our passing game out of the equation. If they do then it will be over with by the 3rd quarter.

Three reasons why the Saints can win the game:
1) They won a similiar emotion-filled game against Carolina right after the storm last year, on the road.
2) Carolina last year is better than Atlanta this year. Last years Panthers made it to the NFC Championship game, I do not see the Falcons of this year doing the same.
3) The '06 Saints are much better than the '05 version.

I hope the Saints win tonight.

Atlanta isn't overhyped! They are a really good squad, but they aren't bound for the superbowl! New Orleans has proved one thing so far this year..They play four quarters and get everyone involved. New Orleans has a roster full of good players who seem to know their roll. I think they can be disciplined and contain the Falcons running game. Atlanta is a one deminsional team, but what they do, they do well. It will come down to how disciplined the Saints are for four quarters. We need a big break or two, and I think we have a good shot at winning! It is my belief that N.O. will need to run the ball well and keep the Falcons offense on the sidelines and burn some clock. This could be the game that Reggie showcases his talents and do something really electra-fying!

27-21 Falcons over Saints... as long as we make a good showing out of it, I'll be happy. It would be great if we won, but I won't be disappointed if we can keep it close. The Falcons are a damn good team. We have to make Vick beat us by throwing the ball... keep 8 men in the box.

I'm drinking before the game, I don't want to HAVE to drink afterwards.

Heresy, you have no faith. Consider rooting for the Patriots from now on.

I guess it still hasnt figured it out yet. Mabye they will figure it out next week. Division game, Jake, Coming off a division win, The only defense in the league to knock a QBs spleen out, and the Saints on a short week. I'm sure you believe that. I am PERSONALLY going to ask Satan to make sure that Aaron Brooks is your starting Fantasy QB FOREVER! That is true hell, and you deserve it for being a doubting french word!

I'm starting to realise how OVER-HYPED the Falcons are. Nobody is hyping our team, they all think we're going to lose. They're hyping up the game and the fact that the dome is opening once again.

I'm just going to try to keep the FAITH. When I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to be full-throttle black and gold, though.

Reading a fan board for the opposing team got you scared? This makes up for nothing. Tom Brady is your man now! You are banished! You can't keep FAITH until you get some... At least, some that doesnt waver in the face of smacktalk from internet fanbois.

Beware lightning bolts papz... Beware lightning bolts!

As for the rest of you, nice spirit! Tell the doubters to go back to New England, or Hell, or wherever they are from! Geaux Saints!

look at these faithless "fans"

I don't have to explain my fanhood to you. There's nothing about you that makes you more of a fan then I. You know nothing of me, so don't even bring that here.

Nice 'Desperation' logo, by the way.

I know all I need to know. Tom Brady is your favorite Quarterback, and you love them Patriots...
