PrintAtlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints, Dec 26, 2011 8:30 PM EST
The game you've waited for all season is here.
The NFC South is at stake here, even if a playoff spot is not. It's not unreasonable to think that the Saints could be beaten by the Falcons and Panthers these next two weeks, even if it's a bit unlikely. The Falcons also want to prove they can beat a legitimate title contender heading into the post-season, where one loss gets you bounced and inconsistent football gets your embarrassed on national television.
The Falcons will have to slow down Drew Brees, bring some real firepower to the Super Dome and avoid mistakes if they're going to head home with a win. I look forward to watching them try.
As always, use this as your all-purpose discussion thread for the game. I'll sweep in and add another thread for the second half and more after that as needed. Enjoy the game, everyone.
GO FALCONS!

The Falcons are the absolute worst team in the NFL. No self-respecting person would ever be a Falcons fan. They thought they could beat the Saints! And you know what? Brees should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!

I'm kinda thinking
for the Playoffs, maybe do a Stone series (different Stone beer each game with the Falcons in it)? should be national enough everyone on this forum could find it.
Confession time...
Stone is not very high on my list. But I LOVE the idea.
I'm on the Twitter: twitter.com/edgrohl
or Rogue would be comparable
it’s the playoffs, so it deserves better than that swill known as “Sam Adams”. not sure how many breweries make good enough beer that it’s worthwhile to do so that are more or less national (don’t want to leave those unfortunate enough to live outside of the Southeast on the outside looking in)
ehhh
doesn’t distribute in Tennessee, indiana, Wisconsin, Rhode Island. I’m not sure, but I don’t think I’m the only one from TN.
Saranac?
Trappistes Rochefort?
Unibroue? (I’d think it’d be pretty easy to find)
Shiner?
Just win. That is all

ESPN could not suck the Cowboys any harder
When they’re good, talk about how great they are. When they’re average, talk about them being on the brink of greatness. When they’re bad, talk about how they can put together a turnaround. Or just talk about Romo’s bruised hand.

Twas the Night After Christmas: A Hopeful Poem
Twas the night after Christmas, when all through the Dome
Not a Falcon was stirring, as the game wasn’t Home
The team had flown down to New Orleans to fight
Their most hated foe on a crisp Monday Night.
The fanbase was settled all snug in their seats
While Jon Gruden suckled on Sean Payton’s teats
And Berman and TJ, Keyshawn and Cris
All picked the Saints in a one-sided diss
When out on the field a coin toss occurred
The Falcons had won, and did not defer
Mularkey began with a run up the middle
And like we expect, it gained not a diddle
Coach Mike Smith’s hair was like new fallen snow
Contrasting quite sharply with his red face below
When, what to our wondering eyes should appear
But a play-action pass, received with a cheer
Into no huddle took Matt Ryan the team
An audible came: a route up the seam
Methodically up the field they came
And Wes Durham shouted and called them by name!
Now Roddy, now Turner, Now Tony Gonzalez!
On Jones! On Harry! On Matty and Jacquizz!
To the Red Zone they went! To the pylon the throw!
And a Julio touchdown completed the show.
As expected with Brees, the Saints were not fazed.
They took to the field, and our defense was razed.
To Graham a thirty-five yarder ensued
And fans held their heads, all hope subdued.
The gains came in bunches, the safeties were rocked
The Saints scored a touchdown, the Falcons were shocked
But Smitty was calm, with a sly knowing grin
A rivalry game is no easy win
So the offenses traded their blows with precision
And the defenses were bathed in their fandom’s derision
At halftime the score stood tighter than most
17-14, with the edge to the Host
The third quarter came, and the Saints took the ball
But the Birds’ defense held and put up a wall
The Falcons’ no-huddle returned the field
And half-time adjustments the offense revealed
They shredded the corners, they marched on the line
The yards came in bunches, they scored in good time
The Saints fans stood slackjawed, their giddiness stomped
It seemed that the Saints wouldn’t win in a romp
The game rambled on until three minutes remained
The Saints were down four, with 80 to gain
They started to march and all hope seemed to fade
The Saints would win, it was all a charade
And there on the thirty, some pressure applied
Drew Brees saw it coming, his feet went to slide
But Abraham’s hand came down on his arm
Brees fumbled the ball! The Saints were appalled
Matty kneeled the ball three times in succession
While Saints fans went home to greet their depression
The Falcons had won! They never froze up!
Merry Christmas to all! The Falcons Rose Up.

Than for Bress to not pass for 300 yards and get an injury that forces him to miss the last game of the season. Then Eli Manning being the first one to break Marino’s record.
The media ruin everything
I was really enjoying Cam Newton’s play. Then I read about him being as good running as Hershchel Walker and as good at passing as Peyton Manning/John Elway already. And about how he is a top 10 Qb already. And about how he has nothing to work on this offseason. Check out PFF’s ratings, he’s a good runner but has a lot to work on as a pocket passer.

Exactly
They are idiots and Mariucci is the most reactionary analyst. When a player makes one play he screams about how he is having a great year or a great game. He said Jermichael Finley had a great game last night after the highlight of his TD catch. He had 3 catches for 20 yards.
I don't mind NFL Network
But I will agree after this Tebow stuff they may actually be the worst.
No way Drew gets that record on us!
"There's nothing wrong with Florida that a rise in ocean level wouldn't cure."
Drew Brees would have thrown for 1000000 yards in Marino's NFL
Because he is a great QB and is definitely the MVP despite having less wins, less TDs, more Interceptions and a full YPA less than Rodgers.

You have to put some licks on him. We haven’t in the last two games.
they don't understand the rules of football
all they know are the Katrina Rules rulebook (used only when New Orleans plays, though on occasion it’s been used when Green Bay or New Orleans plays)
Franks blew two big plays there.
Not BVG’s fault.
Oh and that horrible 15 yarder.
I'm on the Twitter: twitter.com/edgrohl
Franks
had many chances to make a play and came up short
I don't understand those penalties,
what are you supposed to do wait for the receiver to turn around? NFL might as well make tackling illegal

Criticizing the D is valid, but...
scoring 10 points in the first half against a defense that is 28th against the pass is pathetic.
You have to do better than that if you’re gonna beat the Saints. They’re gonna get their points, and you have to get them right back.

thats frustrating
can’t remember the refs name, but I’ve seen him before screwing Falcons
Atlanta Falcons fan in Moscow, Russia
I don't have a problem if refs screw up
as long as they’re consistently bad.
This game shows that they aren’t
The whole point of zone coverage is to not give up a big play
If you give up big plays anyway then it it pointless. Try some man coverage, all of Grimes pass breakups have come on it. The Saints are 100% on 3rd down.
Why would you save anything?
We win this game and we likely don’t have to play them in 2 weeks. It’s not like Drew Brees hasn’t seen man coverage before. If Mike Smith is saving anything in this game he shouldn’t be the team’s head coach
We can't stop 'em

Right
I’m sure you’re more qualified to spot holding than the refs and the announcers. We’ll see if Mike Smith mentions it post game.
