The Dude

Well considering we had beat them like the past 13 out of 16 meetings I guess it was kinda their Super Bowl.
Think about how all of us here would feel If the reverse happened. Say they came to the Super Dome and the exact same thing happened except we won.
We would be furious that they came into our house and almost beat us after we put up 30 plus points. We would hold our defense accountable for allowing Atlanta to score that many points in our own Dome. We would be scared to death because we would know if Roddy White hadn't dropped that ball in overtime they probably would have won.
That's the difference between us and them.
All this happens at their stadium and they act like they are the best team in the NFL and have nothing to improve on. Happens at our stadium and we would be just as nervous as we are now going into next weeks game even though we won.

Yea our defense blew, but in spite of that Atlanta barely eeked out a win in overtime. Hell that was the most yards Atlanta has ever put up in a game in franchise history and they still almost lost.
They have to hang onto the little things because they have never had anything worth putting in a trophy case.

And they will implode. They will believe the hype and lay some eggs. Roddy is already gimpy just like he was last season after one game. Julio will probably get banged up as well.
