My View of Monday Night.....

lets just be looking at us beating them in the dome!

To me is actually a really simple formula:

In the offseason the Saints got better. The Falclowns didn't.

End of story.

It'll be a repeat of one of my favorite 'clowns beatdown of all time...

Saints 45 'clowns 17

Even better than the "Dome Patrol"? Or, maybe too young?

The Saints are the better team. They are at home. Can they get up? Again? This in many ways is the season for the Falcons. Ryan is good. Turner is good. White is good. Gonzalez is good. All that being said, the only way I see the Saints not winning is if they beat themselves.

The Dome Patrol was the LBs, so as a group the current LBs are not even close but I think Vilma belongs in the same sentence with Swilling, Vaughn, Mills, and Jackson.

The Backfield of Porter, Greer, and Sharper is definitely way better today than it was back then, especially considering all the rule changes since then that benefit the passing game. And Roman Harper looks a new man under Williams.

But give them some time. These guys have only played 6 live games together in the new system.

Saint's need to stay clean against the Falcons and special team play needs to improve this has not been a bright spot for this team so far. Turnovers like against Miami would be huge but hopefully are corrected and whoever wins this battle is going to determine momentum and victory. If both teams do not cough it up I think it will be close no turnovers equal Saints 31 Falcons 24.

I think if we were not n.o. and this not as important to them as it is- we would kill them. i could see them playing better than they are. that said, i have no idea how that secondary will hold up.

I was reminded this morning on Sirius that we have beaten them 5 out of the last 6 times we've faced them. I seriously like our chances, especially at home...but that doesn't mean I won't be nervous until we're ahead by 30.

the thing im most excited for is getting to watch the game

i missed the last 2 because of f'ing softball and films.....well we are in the playoffs so we dont have to worry about films til tomorrow....

finally the game is on a monday when i can pull up a chair, crack open a cold one and scream at the TV like every other who dat in the country

also.....Saints win 34-17

Falcons have a lot to play for. I expect them to give us a great fight.
That is... in the first quarter.
