Did Payton disrespect Falcons?
 

No.

Did the Packers disrespect the Bears by keeping Rodgers in?

And Rodgers was NOT the record-breaker-of-record!

So, NO.

Alaska

Beating the crap out of a dead horse.

My thoughts exactly. How many stories from pissed off fans posing as sports writers are we gonna have to endure? If Falcons fans arn't the biggest bunch of frikkin crybabies. I don't think the Vikings fans whined this much after we beat them in the NFCCG.

There about equal in terms of how much both teams have whined about us lol

Did Mike smith dis respect us when he went for a 4th and 1 at his own 27 yard line? Who cares, we all hate the falcons and I'm cool with disrespecting them at any given opportunity, I'm just happy for a blowout win against them

Yes...but who doesn't disrespect the 'Clowns? I'm pretty sure that SP would not have done that if it was NE and BB...or someone else that he respected as much...like maybe Coughlin. (Oh...wait...he ran up the score on TC, too...my bad)

I hate when things like this come up. I mean, I honestly thought football games were 60 minutes? Guess not.

atlanta went for it on 4th down and got stopped....if they had punted the ball, Drew could have thrown for the 30 or so yards and then ran the clock out without scoring...BUT they decided to try to still be competitive in the game so they get what they get...going for it on 4th down means your still trying to win the game so why should SP not continue to call plays designed to win the game
F*** mike smith

No. Drew was too close to the record and nobody even knew if he would be playing the next week. Also, it was the perfect time to set the record. The game had been decided, which meant you could stop and let the team and fans celebrate the accomplishment. Tell me what coach at any level would have kneed the game out with 5 minutes left under the same circumstances. ... and keep in mind, atlanta had yet to throw in the towel. THEY were still playing.

People just need to realize, it doesn't matter what Drew or the Saints do or accomplish, including Super Bowls, records, and wins, people "out there" are always not going to like it. The guy simply cannot catch a break. If they had pulled Drew it would have been articles saying the exact opposite, about "why didn't Payton keep him in to go for the record?" and that the Saints must be weak or are going to slip because they didn't keep Drew in.

People "out there" just like hating on the Saints, and trying to tear them down, because the Saints and New Orleans were not invited to the media's little party of sculpted media stories and pet favorites... Drew was the guy they ALL wrote off, and frankly a lot of people DON'T LIKE THE CITY, either, so there's no room in these guys' imaginary story line for the Saints to be good or be a favorite. Once you recognize that fact, and make your peace with it, that no matter WHAT Drew or the Saints do they will NEVER get acclaim or respect from these people, then you will feel MUCH better as a Saints fan about all the wonderful things this team has accomplished over the last few years.

In professional sports, you disrespect an opponent by showboating, by playing your backups, by basically deliberately underperforming.

Did you take the poll on this article? Most people agree with us...stop whining, Falbabies!

No.

No, because the Packers were 18 point in front with 20 minutes to go. And with the Packers' defense, that's not a sure thing.

The Failcons and a few others have disrespected the NFL by coming unprepared. How many times do we have to take Brees out of a game? He deserves to play.

Again...

1973 in New Orleans
Falcons 63
Saints 7

Now STFU... again.

This should have been a great achievement for Brees instead it has turned into something of a distraction.Why? This has not been achieved in 27 years. A lot of people and sports analysts feel like he disrespected the Falcons throwing so late in the game. So what! They are disrespecting Brees after a major accomplishment that has not been accomplished in 27 years. This is just hard to believe, wonder whats next?

Whatever is next, I bet we get it in buckets after the Saints win another SB.

When are these guys gonna MAN UP?

Jesus.

Who cares what the others think! Drew is phenomenal, the Saints rock and New Orleans is the Best city in the world! We don't need anyone's permission to be Number One! Just Drew It!!

Speaking for someone that went through alot of stress, and expense, to be at that game, I have to say, I would have been pretty upset had they pulled Brees out of that game. Not mad, but very dissappointed. That building was on fire all night long, with loyal Saints fans wanting to see it happen, and thank you Sean Payton and company for making it happen.....

As far as the Falcons fans go? WHERE WERE YOU???? I counted Falcon fans on two hands, the entire time I was at the game! You couldn't even show up to support your team, and you wanna whine now? Forget you. I actually felt sorry for the Falcons a little bit.... That was the MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE YEAR FOR YOU, and that's the best you could do...... Whatever.... I'm happy, and I don't care how much you complain.... With all of the trash talking I read from Falcons players the week leading up to the game, I don't wanna hear it. You embarassed yourself, and now you are trying to save face, by coming up with this BS.... Not going to forget it? GOOD....

No Not at all

This guy sums it up perfectly.(Caution, lots of cussing)

I remember saying a long time ago that while the Saints were going through a bad spell ('67-2005) people used to like them...They were lovable losers, good ol' triers and plucky underdogs, but they knew their place. You can play Dallas, Pittsburgh etc. but don't get ideas above your station! Now we've climbed out of the pit and are standing shoulder to shoulder with the best there are people that have taken a dislike to us. A little like the stable boy who is well liked then comes into some money, starts living well and is ignored because he is 'not one of us'. Well too bad, NFL. Just deal with it and if you don't want us to win, stop us!

Not a dead horse....a dead dirty bird!!!

Being a Falcons fan, the record always comes first. It didn't bother me. But other fans it did. I think those that are mad are just upset that the Falcons D never showed up and the O couldn't score 7 in the redzone.

Absolute not! Why is this even brought up? They are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES!! Not high school kids. It's their job to stop teams from scoring on them. As well as to score on other teams period!!

Excactly they went for it on 4th down when the game was over because they did not want Drew to break the record against them. Scoring the last TD had nothing to do with them being pissed!

I hope we did disrespect the hell out of them and i hope they remember it for the rest of their lives.

We are to the Falcons what the 49'ers were to us!

The record wasn't the disrespect they shoud focus on. They should save their energy for the beat down they get if they come back to the dome again.
If you watched any of the post-game comments or interactions between Falcon players and Drew, there was nothing but congratulations I saw. Even the DB drew tried to run over laughed and shook his hand, again, from what I saw.

Ask me if I give a ****

You know....disrespecting the FailClowns is pretty easy. We might do it by accident. Was that what happened with Coach Payton?

Naw.

Rub some dirt in it FailClowns.

From the dish it out but can't take it Dept?

From the "Who Deserves it Most" Dept.

:-)

Get over it Fal cons.

I'll have to say that was a good response.

hmmm - let me htink on this.....

how about

NO!!!!

Now STFU about this
