If both sides take off their black and gold, or black and red "homer" glasses, what we all saw last night was an over rated fairly mediocre team barely slip past a rudderless dysfunctional pretty good team without its head coach. Not that its an excuse mind you, it isn't, but watching the fine details of the Saints team week in and week out this season, compared to the same players with a head coach last year, I'd tell any Falcons fan reading this that I've come to the conclusion this year, that beating a team without its head coach, is a little bit like beating a guy with one leg in a footrace, it's not really that hard to do, or like kicking a wino who is in the gutter, and that losing to a team without its head coach (which the Falcons also did) is likewise also really not something to feel very confident or cocky about. There is a reason why all those interim coaches around the NFL all seem to historically have records like 2-6, 3-7, 4-12 and stuff like that.


Having seen the 49ers precisely one week before and using the Saints as a head to head comparison template, it's obvious to me that the 49ers will chew up the Atlanta Falcons and spit out the bones all over the field. Doesn't matter which field. If I were you I'd hope you don't cross paths with them, and having been beaten by both I would still say the 49ers are a better team, by a mile.
