PrintAtlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints, Sep 26, 2010 1:00 PM EDT
This game is a proving grounds for the Falcons.
Lose to the Saints and every sportswriter in the nation puts them second in the NFC South. Beat the defending Super Bowl champions and win accolades from everyone ever. Not exactly fair to have that much riding on one game, but you know how it goes.
The Falcons will come prepared. If they can generate some offense and the defense can clamp down on the Saints' offense for the first time in what seems like years, they can pull this off. Nothing would make me happier today than seeing that happen....so Falcons, make it happen!
Use this as your discussion thread for the entire game. I'll be along as much as possible, and we'll toss up a new one come halftime. Go go go!
Who? Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans S, 1 p.m. EST
Where? Unsuperdome, New Orleans, Louisiana
Weather? Dome, people. No weather in a dome.
Injuries? Falcons will likely be missing Erik Coleman and perhaps Michael Jenkins.
The Saints are missing Reggie Bush. Should remove one dimension of their offense.
Foe? Be polite when you head to Canal Street Chronicles. Despite their awful choice in teams, they're still good people. As far as I know.
GO FALCONS! Let's scandalize these Saints!

Announcer Brian Billick and Coach Mike Smith are brothers-in-law?
Didn’t know that. Begs the question of why Billick has been working Falcons’ games.
Actually
Thom Brennaman keeps bringing it up.
Like he has nothing else to talk about.

Reggie Bush
Is it just me or is the loss of Reggie Bush not a huge deal to the Saints? I mean, he was a great player in college. But has he really performed to the level of the #2 overall pick? I think Bush is a decent receiving threat but not much of a threat running between the tackles. We are slightly undersized on the d-line, and using Pierre Thomas to wear down the defense could cause more problems for us than Reggie Bush ever could.

It takes a certain element out of their offense.
And their punt return game.
I think it is a decent loss for them. I’ll take any Saint injuries any day.

we gotta play them just as they had bush
they will run the same things screens and things to receivers and thomas. i think they have a back filling in for bush named chris ivory. speed back same style of play

A threat at best...
He hasn’t returned a punt for a touchdown since 2008. Last year, he only had two punt returns of more than 20 yards. He was only averaging 8.3 yards a return this year. I don’t think he is the threat everyone perceives him to be. Just a big name now

He removes a good
screen/check down game.
Pierre is dangerous, but Bush had that explosiveness where he could take it the distance on any given check down.

what I hate
is that this is expected to be a pressure game for Ryan. Win and you’re in the club, lose, and you;re only aiming for a wild card in the eyes of all experts and fans.
The reason I hate this is because in most cases our Falcons fold when it’s time for a big game. the reality is that we get to play these hated Saints twice and even if we lose this one, but win the ATL game, and take care of the games we’re supposed to win – we will be in a good position to advance to playoffs. c’mon, the majority of Falcoholics marked this game a loss. What I would like to see from our players is a pressure-free game. and then they can actually win.
Atlanta Falcons fan in Moscow, Russia
We didn't fold in Week 17 last year.
And we showed up big time both games against the Saints.
I'm on the Twitter: twitter.com/edgrohl
week 17
was against the team that cared little about the end result. of course, it doesn’t mean the victory wasn’t sweet.
the thing is, in both games against the Saints last year everybody kept saying it’s time for the Falcons to step up. and they did. but both games were killed through our own mistakes at the end.
we need to reverse that trend.
Atlanta Falcons fan in Moscow, Russia
This game is a must win for us..
No on expects us to win in the SuperDome. This is the only chance to show the world we are serious. Beating the World Champions at home carries alot of weight.
I'm not sure
but I think this game counts the same as the one in December. We don’t want to be down 2 games to these guys this early in the year.

I think the Bush factor is getting way overplayed in the pre-game
Is he the second most important member of their offense, after Drew Brees? I doubt it. The man has always been Brian Westbrook-lite. I don’t see how missing him is really a big deal for the Saints. Pierre Thomas is a better running back and the real threat.
He's not critically important
But those passes to him in the flats have traditionally been an issue for the Falcons. I won’t miss having him in the game.

Everyone always says...
“Oh if it weren’t for this or that we would’ve won that game.” Like last year we always said we could’ve beaten the Saints had a couple of things gone our way…But it’s precisely because of those “couple of things” that we lose. Like today it could easily be those kick returns that lose us this game. You just have to find a way to win, and against the Saints you have to be “ON” all the time.

glad we had a nice drive, but...
this first quarter is EXTREMELY disappointing. blown opportunity on a turnover, and an 80 yard pass play for Brees… those were pretty much the two things you couldn’t let happen this week. if you give the ball back here, the Saints have an opportunity to start running away with this thing already.

I’m still not making it out of this game without heart failure though.

We showed our balls.
And the Saints polished them.
AWESOME drive.

what a GREAT drive
almost a perfect 2nd quarter. you get a turnover, you grind it out, and you take it for a touchdown while keeping the Saints off the field.
hats off to the Falcons… after the first quarter, what a great comeback

3 guys on Shockey

Alright, D. You know they're gonna pass it. Nut up and let's take it to them.
We need a rush, and we need one badly. Come on, D.

I did not see until the replay how that 4th down catch by TG was tipped.
One heck of a catch.
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

Matt Schaubb
you are killing me right now on fantasy
defense is giving up a lot of big plays, but...
they’re making up for it by getting turnovers.
hopefully we’ll make some adjustments and lock down the big plays in the 2nd half

Anyway, Matt Ryan averaging same YPC as Turner right now.
GG, Turner. You’re killing us. I demand more Snelling!

regardless of whether we win this game...
i think this team is already showing how improved they are. this is arguably the toughest game on our schedule this year and we’re matching them blow for blow.
as much as i want a win today, i won’t be too bothered if we don’t get one, especially considering it’s on their homefield. i just needed to see us come in and play at their level, which we’re totally doing right now.
having said that, let’s kill them in the 2nd half. i HATE the Saints.

me too...
i’m just saying, even when you lose sometimes, you can take encouraging things from it. and so far this is an encouraging game.
i’m not a believer in the notion that “a win is a win” or “a loss is a loss”. i think there are different degrees of wins and losses that are big indicators of where your team is at.
last year is a great example… we were playing teams early on and beating them, but we weren’t doing it the way a really good team should, and it ended up being an omen for us missing the playoffs.

Oh no doubt
But there is an entire half still to be played.

true...
i mean a lot depends on the 2nd half, but i guess what i’m saying is that if we play well in the 2nd half and come up short, it’s much easier to take than a game where Brees hangs 40+ on us and blows us out.
so far in this game, i see some very encouraging signs – our D picking Brees off, our offense putting together drives that don’t stall, and the overall makeup of this team in taking a game that could have started to get away and scrapping right back to tie it up
there are a few things you have to do to beat the Saints, and we did them ALL to perfection in that 2nd quarter
by cheshire falcon on Sep 26, 2010 2:37 PM EDT up reply actions
true
I really like our ability to make plays when they count in this game and I think that after the Steelers game they looked for ways to improve on that and it shows.
But ultimately, I REALLY want the Saints to lose this. Not just because I hate the Saints (although that is a major driving factor), but because I think it would drive up the confidence level on our team a lot as well….. and I really hate the Saints.
Plus, three 2-1 teams in the NFC South (assuming the Bucs don’t do anything miraculous) would make things interesting as well.

makes the Saints win against them look even less impressive than it already was
by cheshire falcon on Sep 26, 2010 2:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but our D isn't the Vikes' D.
Not yet, at least.
The offense is playing like it wants to win, today. The D is starting to feed off of that.
Just you wait. When we get into late 3rd/4th quarter, their D is going to be dead. 22:8 time of possession is absurd. I’ve never seen such a skewed amount before.

i think their D is slowly becoming their weakness like it was in 2008, and if you wear them out, your chances of beating them go waaaaay up
