Falcons trying to be the Saints?

You emulate the best if you want to be the best. The problem is they don't have the offensive genius or the talent that we do.

They have seen the best in their own division twice a year for the last 6 years, who can blame them.

Way to show up 6 seasons and a SB late to the party with the screen game falcons........good luck winning the division with noodle arm (Ryan), brick hands (Roddy White), Ricky Williams pt 2 - 4 draft picks...really(Jones), and Mr. Pull Over Dat A** Too Fat (Turner).

Think we are going to have our way more with them this year. We took one of their best defensive players. And with a ne look defense it is going to be harder for them to get those big plays that kept them so close. I think we will see a decline in their reacord this year.

I'm not saying that you're not right about the Saints having their way with the Failclowns this coming season, but we have to remember that they are also implementing a new defense with Nolan, just like the Saints are with Spags.

So, their defense having been one of the weakest in pass rush during the past couple of years - along with the Saints - could get a lot better regardless of the fact that they lost Lofton, and because of that the Saints might face some problems of their own facing their new-look defense.

Again, I'm not saying that it'll ultimately affect the fact that the Saints are going to steamroll them this coming season, but it's something to be mindful of, and a nice competition of it's own between the division rivals: which of them will be able to field a better defense under a new defensive coordinator?
