Kick some Falcon ass Brees

It will, but they're missing so many pieces, and their D is bad. If we don't win this it is our fault, plain and simple. We have 0 business losing this game

I am a Falcons fan and while I dont think Smitty is coaching for his job (he has earned this year as a pass by making the franchise more relevant than it has been in its history) I do think many of our players are going to be playing for their roster spot. We have a ton of guys on the field that we were hoping would only be playing in garbage time so those guys have a lot to prove or they are likely to be let go in the off season. Some of the higher priced guys have to see the writing on the wall too, time to perform or they might be cut to free up money for free agents. All of that being said we can't block, can't run, can't get any pressure on the QB, can't tackle and can't cover...you guys are going to run away with the game even though it is a divisional game which can always go either way. As a Falcons fan I'm just hoping Ryan doesn't suffer some sort of injury that affects next season while he runs for his life.

If the roles were reversed, I would take great joy in knocking the Falcons out of a neck and neck running for the #1 seed.
I can see them being motivated for this game without difficulty.

Saints on their game, however, should still win.

.

like last year, when they were 8-0? very similar

Sean Payton has lost to Atlanta twice since 2006. Hell.. The worst defense in History beat them to end their undefeated season in 2012 with out Sean Payton.

We will definitely get Atlanta's A game tonight.

The only question will be what an "A game" is for this year's Falcons.

All that being said - Saints 27 Falcons 13

This same ****ty team was one play away from beating us in our own house.

And they were at full strength, minus a slightly hobbled Roddy White. We had numerous injuries on defense we were dealing with at the time.

Now they're decimated with injuries, combined with a really weak O-line to start with.

Their defense isn't very good against the run or pass.

Their offense is really weak running the ball, and their passing game is OK.

We're really good against the pass.

Week 1 and week 12 are apples and oranges.

I totally agree with that. Everyone knows NFL teams evolve over a season. Where you killed a team or beat them at the beginning of the season, that same opponent can be just the opposite by the end.

For example, we really didn't know much about this defense for the first game. After the win, at best, I was "optimistic" we wouldn't tank on defense.

Fast forward to now and I feel our defense has been more effective than our offense at times this season. It's truly our "secret weapon" that many just can't grasp until the day after they play us and they're pretty banged up.

Falcon's aren't going to be the same team we played week one.... then again, let's hope the Saints aren't sitting on their hands. Every once in a while we tank (like the Jets game), but usually not on the home stretch.
