I was thinking more like 68-5.
Da Saints!

Is this likely to be a blowout in either direction? I highly doubt it. I do however figure that this is going to be an incredibly high scoring game. The Falcons offence is potent all around and this will be the first true test for our defence. I am not going to walk away from the SuperDome this Sunday (I have mentioned I'm going right? haha) being overly surprised if they drop 28 points on us. I do however think we can keep up quite comfortably.

31-28 Saints. Hartley nails a 50 yard FG with seconds on the clock to win when everyone is expecting him to hook the living bejeesus out of it and it only go about 38 yards

Thats the thing, they have taken a back seat every season they have come off winning the division the previous year.

2009 they were ****, 2011 they crapped their pants, 2013 you can see it happening to.

Drew will show again that he has the best defensive scheme in football. The "You can't score if I have the ball" takes care of this one.

Which leaves me in a quandry weather to start Brees or Ryan as my QB this week. Lol.

Bring on the non-believers!

Both of those things could happen. Doesn't mean they'll win the game.

True, a couple huge runs by Jackson, and then Ryan passing most of the 2nd half playing catch-up, inflating his stats in a 45-34 blowout.

SJax has always given us fits. We have never shut that guy down - so do I think he will get 150? Very possible.

Not behind that Falcon O-Line...

I think we put it on them this game. We have to hold them to field goals. We probably are going to give up some yards but if we keep them in front of us we will be ok. It appears we have a very stout red zone defense and that is what I am counting on to take this game.

Even though these kind of statements this are absolute proof that the NFL needs better helmets, Baldinger is still one hell of a name for a football player.
