Who is the New Orleans Saints Biggest NFC South Rival?

ScottF · 06-06-2016, 03:12 PM

being in the same division doesn't "make" a rivalry
did anybody really care about Carolina 4-5 years ago?

look at Pitt- Cin. They hate each other now, but for 30 years no one in Pittsburgh thought twice about the Bengals

I can't believe this is even a question.

I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings, but if you say anyone other than Atlanta you're a total freaking dumass.

Atlanta, no doubt.

I remember the 49ers owning us all time. Our Dome Patrol was all we had back then to try to battle back. Man....I miss that defense. I still remember the Dome Patrol on the cover of Sports Illustrated. It said "4D" and had Mills, Jackson, Johnson and Swilling on it. Awesome.

I can't wait to beat the crap out of them again.

The line I've been using with Atlanta fans:

Arthur Blank had to build a new stadium because Sean Payton owned the Georgia Dome. I'm glad Mercedes Benz put their name on the Superdome East because the Saints are going to own that one too.

I remember 1988, the year I married my lovely wife and turned her into a Saints fan. The Saints went 10-6, was tied for the 4th best record in the NFL, and didn't make the playoffs out of ten playoff teams. Five NFC teams tied with 10-6 records and both SF and the Rams had the tiebreakers against us.
