Saints-Falcons Preview
 

The Atlanta Falcons don't need much motivation for their rematch with the New Orleans Saints.

However, they've done a good job of giving the desperate Saints more reason to get amped up for this contest.

The Falcons look to avenge their lone defeat by trying to avoid a fifth consecutive loss to the Saints on Thursday night at the Georgia Dome.

Atlanta (10-1) was rolling along at 8-0 when New Orleans ended that run with a 31-27 home victory Nov. 11. The Falcons were held to 46 rushing yards, settled for two field goals inside the red zone and turned the ball over on downs late in the game from inside the Saints' 5-yard line.

Though Atlanta bounced back from that defeat with two close victories to maintain the NFC's best record, some Falcons believe they were the better team at the Superdome.

"It's not like they came out here and won a game," said Atlanta receiver Roddy White, who caught seven passes for 114 yards in that contest. "I think we kind of gave it to them.''

I think I agree with Atlanta here. We have to play better than the last time to win in their house. We at least have to close the game better this time the way Atlanta has won (BARELY) most of their games this year.

If our Offense can get there heads out of there arse, we got this. The D is improving at the right time, we just need the offense to play like they are suppose to.

I would rather barely win most of our games & be 10/1 then to be 5/6.
