THIS!!

How does Gallette get zero pressure going against the same left tackle that got Cutler killed season after season.

Damn near 500 passing yards.. it's a flashback to 2012 all over again. If the play of the D doesn't give you pause, you are living in la la land.

Since I have been so negative in most posts about this game ill avoid that here.

Good news is this should give SP and Ryan fuel to add to the fire. Our D may have been too confident coming in. I had this marked as a loss, but we need to see the D come out with some fire next week.

Cooks looked great, and when we ran the ball we ran well. Overall the offense played well considering the D never let them rest.

it is atlanta in atlanta records do not matter. snot knocker every time we play. thus is life in the NFC South

Offense showed up with their A game for both sides

Atlanta Defense stepped up big time

Saints Defense might as well stayed home. definitely that was not a fifth rank defense showing. Little or no adjustments after half. never mind. lets see what the brain trust comes up with next week. lets hope it aint deep cover 2 again.

37 points given up, the sky might not be falling but the clouds got real dark on this one.

The falcons receivers made tough catch after tough catch

Colston dropped 2 passes, fell down on a wide open first down easy conversion and fumbled the ball in the critical stages

Defense better do something, 37 points and 600 yards of offense, might aswell quit now if that's how your going to play

Lol. I mentioned the 3 most pivotal plays. I didn't blame this L on Brees. Some of you focused in on that.

No point in blaming anything except the defense in this loss. It was terrible.

I'm hoping that it's because they didn't play together much in preseason but the lack of pressure on Matt Ryan was obvious. Cam Jordan did nothing, neither did Galette. Got one sack and not very many pressures at all. That won't get it done.

I don't know where this team is going and I'm not interested in making predictions. All I can say is for one game, this team is everything they were hyped up to be on offense, but defensively, they are non-existent.

I have to think the defense is at least somewhat better than what they showed today, but there isn't really a way to sugar coat giving up 568 yards. And it was the Falcons. They have a couple good receivers, but they don't have a truly elite QB, and they have an old man running the ball. This wasn't Peyton Manning torching us.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

It was a classic Falcons v Saints game!

It could have gone either way for the win as previous games have done. If you look a previous results a lot of the games have been close.

Its only the 1st game of the season, still lots of time to sort things out. But, I have to say that I think the Browns won't be quite so worried about us when we visit them now.

It will be interesting to see how the Falcons get on when they visit us in December!

Ryan needs to get the defence sorted otherwise this is going to be a long season for us.

Well done to Cooks, great debut for us and a good solid performance from Ingram.

Geaux Saints!!!!

Personally, not worried. Byrd and Robinson are new to the defense and they both need to learn their teammates and how they work together. Once they get acclimated to eachother, the defensive secondary will pick up

I was also down with the lack of production from Galette and Jordan, but Atlanta was basically taking everything from the Saints playbook and using people to chip them on the way out on their routes to disrupt both of our DE's. Ryan also made some plays with his legs to buy extra time. But again, not worried, it'll get fixed.

Offensively, really loved Cooks, he's a gamer. Was disappointed with Colston's three drops and fumble to seal the game. I think we all expect more from Colston, and I know he's disappointed with that fumble. I doubt he drops many more balls this season nor fumbles again.

Aside from Colston's three drops, Graham also had one that hit him in the legs, Morgan had a drop I remember... just not a great day overall for our receivers. But we still moved the ball pretty much at will so things will get fixed
