Did you even read past the first line of my post? Or are you just spouting off again with no idea what the hell you are talking about?

I see that you've missed quite a few games...

Hate to say it, but Dilfer is right. I wouldn't be that harsh (yes I would) but the Saints did everything possible to throw that game away and should still have won. I didn't see the Falcons dominate. They were a better team that day because they won, but not because they were the better team absolutely.

Good write-up HeavyD!

heres a little perspective...we lost 1 game to a good team. atl D is coming around and lets face it...ours isnt. Our LBs are some of the worst in the league along with our D line. Alex Brown left a brown stain in his draws after matt ryan ran him over for a first down on 4th and 2. our D is garbage.

Now that we have have that out of the way, the loss, we can get back to playing angry like we did last year.

As a Falcons fan i would agree with that. People forget that after the miss by Hartley, the game was not over. The Falcons still went down the field and kicked a 46 yard game winner.
I think the defense for the Saints will have to get better for the Saints to do well. Too much time on the field is going to probably end up with more injuries than normal. If that happens, offensive talent is going to have a hard time overcoming that. A good run game would help eat up the clock and at least keep the defense resting on the sidelines. Bush will be back and fresh when you guys hit the tougher stretch of the schedule.

no one asked you...:bng:

Even the two wins bothered me. We didn't look sharp at all...on either side of the ball. None of our games so far have been clean or decisive. We "seem" to have what should be four practice games before we play the Steelers. We should use the next four weeks to sharpen our edges and tighten our belts on everything from pass rushing to run blocking, catching drills to tackling drills, from conditioning to opponent tendency analysis. We should be 6-and-1 going into that prime time matchup on Sunday night. If we keep letting teams hang around, mediocre teams, and have to count on the ball bouncing our way late in the 4th quarter, its going to be a very rough season.

The bounces went our way last year. It's been about even this year.:bng:
