I must respectfully disagree.

Losing this game may make it impossible to win the division, and/or put us at a disadvantage on homefield if playoffs are a possibility.

Nothing is impossible after a single game, win or lose. And while I agree that there is a disadvantage in terms of homefield, that disadvantage can only be manifest at the point where the competition is 16-0 or 15-1

Face it, this will be a long season if, with all the investment in upgrades and stability for key positions, we lose to a team that hopes to start rebuilding next year.

Trust me, the Falcons do not think they are rebuilding. The delusional pervasive mindset is that last year was a fluke fueled by injuries and with the return of players healthy, they will return to Winning the South and HFA.

We better win, win comfortably, and sport no serious injuries, because watching Spain's 4th level down semi-professional soccer league will be less painful.

This has been a rare occurrence of late. While the Saints have been very successful in recent years, each game is a fight to the finish.

Beat Down

45-17 Saints

Shades of Aaron Brooks! I attended that 45-17 beatdown. Loved having only Saints fans in the stands at the end of the game.

I predict it'll be closer. Something like 27-17 or 31-14 Saints.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
