Make or Break Game 1

xan · 09-05-2014, 02:46 PM

There is a radical difference between being 1-0 1-0 1-0 (Overall, Division, Conference) than 0-1, 0-1, 0-1.

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.

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.

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.

45-17 Saints

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.

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.

This isn't a long season its only 16 games.

Every win counts. I also think to many people are under-estimating.

it the falcons it is a must win. on the road makes it even more important. the rest will work itself out

I disagree, that this game is a make or break game. You don't have to win all the division games to win the division; and I really doubt that the team is under-estimating or over-looking the Falcons.

It is only make or break for the Clowns.

Is this also a prediction of your IPO?

Nope. Must win. Hate the Clowns. Must win!

My IPO will be a bigger blow-out.

But then, I'm not facing Flabby Lice and the Hooli-zero Band.
