The defense is coming together. The offense is getting healthy. I feel better about the Saints going to the Super Bowl this year than I did last year |

It will be a glorios event watching the Falcon starters take the field.
It's downright embarrassing when the division leader can't rest starters the final game knowing they would if they could. |

Still an upset, but I think the Falcons finally got exposed, & if Carolina gives a dang, they can follow our blueprint to shutting down Turner. Then we just gotta count on Cluasson to not want to lose his job to Luck BEFORE the draft & Steve Smith & Jonathan Stewart (or Williams, which ever running back isn't hurt) to have some pride.

Not me. We had a fire last year, and I always had the feeling we were capable of putting together video game type play on offense no matter how far down we were. I don't get that feeling this year. Drew has been off at key times and we just have not clicked like last year. We are still capable of doing that, but I have not seen it much. The defense had a great game, but just a week prior the D got owned.

They will probably beat Carolina, but the Saints are in the Falcons' heads now, there's no question about it. And now the Falcons know THEY CAN BE BEATEN AT HOME, and that any playoff caliber team can shut their game down (see Eagles and Steelers games for further proof). That is the definition of EXPOSED, although it takes a good team to beat them.
If I was a Falcon fan, I would feel pretty shaky and nervous about the benefits of that home field advantage, after seeing what happened to them in their own Dome last Monday, against a playoff caliber team. And worst of all, that was when it REALLY counted. So you know that the possibility of a Falcons choke job is totally on the table, it's not been proven that they can handle the pressure. |
