New Arch Rivals?

rich006 · 02-17-2010, 04:50 PM

After the 2009 season, are the Atlanta Falcons really the Saints' biggest rivals? If not, who is?

I think the Falcons will always be the Saints' biggest rivals, but the Vikings are a close second now. And Dallas is probably third. But that's just my opinion.

Falcons. They came into the league a year before we did, and we won a superbowl before them. Their blood is boiling. I think the rivalry actually is even worse now.

Falclowns. Always will be unless they move out of the NFC South. They'll be back for blood next year. We'll fight them off again though.

I agree, the rivalry between Saints and Falcons has a rich history.

I also look at San Fran as a big rivalry, man as a kid those 49ers Saints games still make my stomach hurt!!

The Falcons are going to come out with a MAJOR chip on their shoulder next season. First the Bucs, now the Saints? They are freaking out over there!

Have you seen the Falcons board Superbowl thread? Holy crap, they HATE US.

They freakin hate me...
do doo da da da da da..
They freakin hate me..
da doo da doda dad da da..

sorry.

After we won the SB, they were talking about, "I hate everything right now," "and oh my life is miserable... **** tha Aints... **** this season...etc. " It was just hilarious. My favorite post was, "Please God grant me serenity... and make the Saints lose."

I really think we're their #1 enemy. This is gonna be fun.

I agree Mike. They got there first, but we won ours first. That will stick in their craw forever!

I hate the Falcons but this year made me hate the Cowboys even more than I did before...Since the thread was titled New Arch Rivals I have to still stick with the Falcons as the biggest rival.
