A couple added tidbits: (old guys help me out)

-- I think the Falcons were our first Hail Mary loss.

-- one time they just kept piling on and beat us 67-7

-- another time, in 83?, they took out the whole 3rd quarter in one drive... that
one is where I got the hate.

-- in '87, we lost to the 49ers by 2... Morten missed a FG that would have won... Jim Mora delivered the famous "coulda, woulda, shoulda" tirade -which triggered a rampage thru our next 3 opponents (one of my favorite times being a Saints fan) --- we kicked it off with a 38-3 demolition of the Falcons. (lead to a gutsy rematch win with the 49ers in Candlestick)

-- in the old days, we had a long history of fighting with Falcon fans in the stands.... in Tulane Stadium, and Fulton County Stadium.

Along the "old guys" lines, might bare to point out that the two cities have hated each other going back to the Civil War and Reconstruction, football is just a continuation of that rivalry/hatred.
