Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints Open Thread: Second Half

Here's my wisdom, Drew Brees. Throw a lot of interceptions. I think I might be possessed by a Falcons fan! (AP Photo/Bill Feig)

Here's my wisdom, Drew Brees. Throw a lot of interceptions. I think I might be possessed by a Falcons fan! (AP Photo/Bill Feig)

I wrote this before the game got very far along, but this is your second-half open thread. If we're winning, cheer some more! If we're losing, the second half will be better! If both teams have been abducted by aliens, Falcons win by default! I think.

Go to it!

Score with FGs: 20 to 28.

Score now 14-28. And Saints will likely be 35-14 before we get the ball back. I’m going to bed if Saints score again. Got work in the morning.

Cmon

Elam’s had some clutch kicks the last two years. That said, he blows tonight.

We gotta keep in mind that we still have some winnable games coming up (tho Carolina’s suddenly looking better, damn it) and better teams than us have been spanked by the Saints.

We still should be showing better on offense though. Need more Turner.

i got plenty of cold beer too, but maybe we need to try and get a young kicker in here. Not these old guys. I would rather see michael koenen kicking figs right now.

You have got

to be kidding. Elam is not the problem. Point out that Jenkins dropped a first and goal catch, that led to a missed field goal and NO scored on the the next series.

by mwalex on Nov 2, 2009 10:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Elams pros definitely outweigh his cons.

He’s been in the league for a LONG time and he’s won more games for teams than he’s lost. Don’t forget, he won the game last year against Chicago that eventually led to ATL getting into the playoffs.

you have to play a flawless game against NO. We forced two turnovers and a TD off of one. Jenkins dropped a critical pass and away the game went.

A couple things

Dave, your Snelling over Turner meme is officially dead, please don’t start another one.

To all those who jumped on that bandwagon, please refrain from posting for at least two weeks after a each game, that way you won’t look as silly as this last time.

To our defensive back coach, I don’t know if it’s your coaching or a what, but fix it. I’m tired of watching our D-backs simply throwing a hand up instead of turning their heads around and jumping for the ball.

To all the Saints fans and the media machine, the Saints ain’t all that. Please stop kissing their @$$es.

Not pissed

Just frustrated is all. I was actually laughing when I typed it, especially about Dave’s meme. I just thought it was funny that Dave mentioned it and all of a sudden about 100 posts went up clamoring for Snelling over Turner, many by people who had never posted before. Sorry, it was really just an attempt at a running joke.

The rest though was a little more true to how I felt at the time I wrote it. Arm tackling, not getting your head turned around to face the ball, not even attempting to jump with the WR, etc. I’m just getting tired of seeing the same problems in the secondary each week, and even more so in a very winnable game like this one.

As for the Saints remark, well let’s just say I was tired of listening to ESPN verbally felate the Saints during the entire game. My wife even commented that she wondered if they even knew there was another team playing last night.

Okay, Gruden

I’m getting the sense you’d be happier calling a Saints intrasquad scrimmage.

It happens, we're all mad

But that second INT wasn’t really his fault. We have to put him in a better position to succeed.

Did you watch the game?

First pick should have been a PI call, and the second pick was tipped. So much for well-reasoned analysis.

Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?

Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.

4-3 is not the end of the world I know

But there are very good NFC teams that seem like they will end up getting a wildcard spot.

Also I suggest to figure what to do with elam. 2 missed FG? lots of opportunities for us but could not capitalize

I think this year we hold onto him and hope for the best

But Brandon Coutu is an option. Guy should have a job.

I'm proud of my Falcons for making this a game tonight

and not a complete blowout as many had thought

THat's a victory in and of itself

It’s not a win, and we could’ve had that, so I’m still bitterly disappointed. But it’s a damn good effort.
