They have a few kats on there that gave us props but then if you read further into their comments those congratulatory remarks turn ugly and mean spirited, talking about it was more luck than talent, refs can't fix every game etc.. blah blah.. yeah Falcons are by far the worst.

Must suck to be a sore loser. I can honestly say, in all my years of watching other teams win it all, I never blamed the win on cheating, officiating, or any other excuse. I feel sorry for people like that, give credit where credit is due!

It shall remain the Falcons, probably forever. There are legitimate cases to be made for the Cowboys and Vikings, but the Falcons remain as the most hated rival, at least by us fans.

Always was the Falcons, always will be...but i think the Vikings will be a rival for some time

For me, the Falcons are always there...

All-time angry moment, Hebert the Trader doing his dirty bird, that MF'er...

All-time hated moment, Mora the Incompetent allowing Morten to geaux and don the bird, that was a real MF...

And when the Saints come riding high into this upcoming season; there will be a reminder from the Falcons and it will be so on...oh, so on...

But now that we've got the top squad, I sure wish we had the 49'ers in the division so we could improve on that all-time vs. record...

Since the Rams left the other LA, it's not the same...

But NFL realignment got it mostly right with the Falcons v. Saints rivalry...

I'm probably older than you. I'd like to add ...

The Falcons run up the score 62 - 7. Still boils my blood.

Falcons win consecutive games with Hail Mary passes.

But my #1 is the same as yours. I have despised the Fail Clowns for four decades. But Baby Gaybear, that immature, illiterate jackass celebrating after the Falcons beat the Saints in the Superdome will stick with me forever.

I don't care how ugly the talk gets from the media, coaches, or players when the Saints play the Vikings or the Cowboys. The Falcons will always be the Saints biggest rivalry as long as they are in the same division. Both teams suffered years of futility, but even in the bad years, you could expect a Falcons/Saints game to be intense. Now that both teams have turned the corner and are competitive and in the running for the playoffs nearly every year, it just gets that much more intense. Also, since the Saints got a taste of the Super Bowl and won it, the Falcons are frothing at the mouth to get what we have. Oh, next seasons' games are going to be big!

falcons are still our top rival....2 times a year every year

Choupique · 02-18-2010, 06:42 AM

I selected "other" because the Saints will have a target on their uniform this season and every team will try to beat the defending Super Bowl Champions.

Every team is the enemy, more than ever.
