New Arch Rivals?

rich006 · 02-17-2010, 03:50 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.

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!!

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.

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.

Maybe I'm still drunk from the SB. Honestly, I love the Falcon Fans. I dont know why. Its been so long, and there's been so much history. maybe because Jesus said love your enemy.

He didnt say you couldnt try to beat them 40-0, and knock them into next year. Im still mad from that drive in '83 when freakin Gerald Riggs bulldozed us, and ran out the entire 3rd quarter in one drive. I can still get mad thinking about that. Im still mad about the playoff game. I can still see Deion Sanders dancing around. I still want Derland Moore to get his hands on Steve Bartkowski just one more time.

I want to kick the Falcons ass so bad.

But in real life, when I see their fans in the Quarter, I'll have a beer and chat with them, especially the Old Ones, who've been thru the same crap we've been through. shhhhh. keep that a secret please.
