Even though they're winning the New Orleans Saints can't catch Atlanta

We can still win the division even if we finish with the same record as Atlanta (if we lose to the Ravens and then win out)

Saints 12-4, (5-1 division)
Falcons 12-4 (4-2 division)

You are, of course, correct.

You beat us in our house with out us having Bush, Sharper... an injured Thomas, and a banged up Shocky. With a little SB Hangover to boot. In over time by 3 points.

I hardly call that a decisive win.. Although it was a win for ATL.

Turn the tables. If we beat you in OT by 3 and you were with out Turner, a banged up Gonzalez, and another few key players hurt... I would not be running around proclaiming we crushed you.

All BS aside, when we play you again, you have to agree that you are not facing the same team you played in week 3.

Just keep winning and we'll get our shot!!

Atlanta is paper tigers, man...

No, the Saints need to worry about the Ravens, I need to worry about whatever I feel like worrying about.

Yeah, if Seattle doesn't beat the falcons we're gonna be a WC. I"ll be at the sports bar on sunday to watch us beat the Ravens and will be sticking around for the atl game to see how seattle is doing, if they lay an egg and atl is up big early, I'm going home.
