Why all the Falcons love?

hitta · 08-02-2011, 01:08 PM

I hate to say that the media has a bias against the Saints, because a lot of times when people complain about the media hating their team, they are just whiny people that can't accept their teams faults and stuff. But the truth is, its like there really is some kind of real bias against the Saints in the media. Green Bay wins the superbowl with a 10-6 record because they get on a hotstreak, and they are the likely candidates to repeat. The Saints win the superbowl after showing dominance all year long and its a fluke. It's like the media can't accept this team has turned the corner, even though they have shown repeatedly that they have. Not sure what their problem is.

With all the pressure on Julio from the start, I wouldn't be surprised if he shrinks a bit. It's hard living up to grand expectations (ask Ricky and Reg) and a few drops here and there will mess you up.

I feel bad about myself because that's what I'm kind of hoping for.

Here's the deal:
They picked the Falcons last year and the Falcons won the NFC South.
Find every reason you can to attribute that to, and when you are done, they still won the thing.
Until we take it back, they still have the thing.
We fell on our face to the the SHawks, they loss to the Champs...that's what they remember.
I'm not surprised about the Falcon hype, in fact, I believe they are still our biggest test...they have a running game.
I'm not concerned about Mat Ryan or JJ. If we stop the run, we will choke their ability to throw.
We all know where our struggles have been, including the media. Until we prove we are better up front, the talk/write heads are giving them the nod. Fine with me. I hope we show who is the better team and earn our NFCS title back.

I know you posted this before, but... good thing we now have an impenetrable wall that can't be run on. Henceforth we are no longer just the Saints, but the FalconHunters.

Atlanta is going to be a tuff team this year as is TB. I HATE them both but we do not have a cakewalk season!!

I am seeing this as well. What needs to happen, is we need to consistantly have winning seasons, more play off wins, and they will stop seeing us as the same ol' saints. Losing to a 7-9 team in the play offs, certainly doesn't help our cause either.
