No, not all our eggs, but that is a very real basket that has contributed to the Saints' success these past two seasons. It is hard to ignore when it continues to be a factor, week in and week out.

Wishful thinking. Teams know that we should have been arrested and convicted by now. The defense has done its part to help us start the season 2-0. Its time for the offense to give these guys a breather and drop 40 on these clowns at home this week. Let's take the running game off the table with a 3-ball lead. That will up our chances for some easy pics when they go into come-back/catch-up mode. Easier said than done, but it can be done.

I disagree Strato, I think Atlanta's D is very capable, the Arizona game didn't prove it but i think Atlanta like 9ers are finding themselves, im going to be sweating it out..
We have short week, Bush may be out, Gay may be out, 9ers gave Falcons some good game tape to use..
I'll admit im a bit nervous now.. however Atlanta did lose Turner i believe so we're kinda balanced strength wise if he doesn't play, but Arizona didn't give us anything to work with coming up to this week.

We were Superbowl Champs last year and Atlanta hit hard and gave us a run for our money... another great game.

It's gonna be a knock down, drag out dog fight. Like the 49ers, the Falcons have A LOT to prove.

I'm sure they'll play their "A" game... they do that even when we're not champs.

They have a decent d-line, and now teams know that they have to get a push against last years three best interior linemen to disrupt Brees. Our receivers are getting ZERO separation and the falcons can play press. Sit on the screen and just hang tough on all the slow developing runs. Brees will never run so just push him left and watch the play fail. Shockey's blocks look like my 9 year old niece encountering a muddy dog. No Reggie means less pressure on their 2nd level, so manning up won't be necessary. Counter plays and cutbacks will rip our d up, and we've been abused by TE's since the cowboys game.

Al in all, a team simply needs to take care of the ball and give it their B- game and victory is there for the taking.

WTF..We will throw for 400Yds minimum next week lol

I think the wind was a huge factor tonight. We are a DOME team. I think we play well enough again to beat the Falcons. But our offense needs to get it together. The D played well tonight but the Offense didnt give them the help they are used to. We need to clean up the offense and play better pass coverage on the Falcons.
