I am sure the sky will be falling around here

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; That wasn't luck. They beat us straight up. We had several opportunities to seal this game. The Strief penalty. The Brees interception. The Colston fumble. Atlanta was the better team. Matt Ryan was the better QB....

Now there, you go.. Which Brees Interception? When a receiver gets his hands on the ball, he owns the INT.

2 Seasons and your still sportin the same M.O.

Matt Ryans receivers didnt play volley ball.

Tips and fumbles can bounce in any direction, the recovery is luck.... Thats why you dont try to pick up a fumble and run with it pezo, you fall on it...

Last time I checked there isn't a stat for interceptions as far as WR's are concerned. So Brees takes the L for the pick. That was a defining moment in the game.

I'm not a DJ. The metaphor missed it's mark. Like Brees.

Divisional road loss. Defense looked horrible front to back. For all the flack he gets around here, Ryan looked like Ice today. Saints can't lose the turnover battle.

Re: I am sure the sky will be falling around here

the pick in the end zone? LOL. Come on. It makes a lot more sense to bag on the defense for letting the Falcons run them up and down the field like it's 2012 or something. You score 34 points and lose, it's not on the offense.

One 3 and out the entire game, scoring on 6 of 10 drives, and a tip drill in the endzone and our QB gets smoked.

One Qb had a completion % of 72, the other a completion % of 69... Looks pretty damn close
