well to give them that loss; they have to be all about the winning

yes- agreed

Yeah, I'm not understanding this one at all, unless he's saying even if we lose we have a lot of easier games to extend our lead, even with a loss to the Falcons?

Or the fact that this game is much more crucial to the Falcons, since a 2-1/2 game lead over them AND a bunch of winnable games coming up puts Atlanta in a huge hole they aren't likely to recover from?

Goal #1 - Win the division, so it is all about winning . . . my 5 cents!

The 1st division games are the most important. Ive always believed that if you win the 1st game it gives you an edge for the 2nd game.

Besides failclowns are beating us in total franchise wins, but we own them in payton/brees vs falcons, we need to keep winning to catch up.

at the moment
payton 7 ( soon to be 9-1)
failclowns 1

oh and falcons suck

Danno I thought he was saying that the more important part of the equation today was the loss we were handing them, maybe I read it wrong

Yeah we definitely need to win. Wins against division foes puts us up 2 games and losses against division foes puts us down 2 games against them. So division games are essentially worth 2 games when it comes down to it.

According to Payton home field advantage is the most important factor. Last year the Saints had home field advantage because we took care of business within our division. That is my kind of recipe for success. We need to win this game, while the falcons feel like they have to win this game.
