[Week 3] Atlanta (1-1) @ New Orleans (2-0)

[Point Blank]

He groans anyone that says anything bad about the Falcons. Watch: Saints are gonna win. Between 7 and 14 point advantage. "Burner"'s not gonna do shit, and Ryan's gonna look like the middle-tier player he is.



I'm tired of the "aww they had Katrina" storyline, I'm tired of all the new Saints bandwagon fans, I'm tired of Drew Brees suddenly being God after being called overrated for several years, I'm tired of Reggie suddenly being the greatest dual-purpose player in league history after he's been called a bust every year since 2007.

That said, I don't particularly like the Falcons. When they had Vick and Dunn, it was different for me. Go Aints.

No you dumbass, I groan stupid ass posts like the one you just made.

The sea of red in Kansas City is a better home field advantage. The weather in Green Bay during December humbles any team. The Superdome is loud... a good QB can still run his offense in that especially because college football has a louder atmosphere.

Do you have a secret device that measures stadium loudness?

The Superdome is one of the loudest places to play in all of football. Arrowhead is great and there are several college stadiums that are loud, but the Superdome is a dome, so noise is amplified, and that crowd is as loud as any. Either way, it doesn't matter, loud is loud. Whether it's Seattle, KC, or NO. You think a difference in a few decibels makes it that much easier for offenses to operate?

Good QB's have had plenty of trouble running their offense in that place over the last couple of seasons. Obviously, it has to do with the Saints D scheme as well. That kind of scheme and a loud stadium make it more difficult to run your offense, period.

Tom Brady @ New Orleans last year:

21/36, 237 yards, 2 interceptions. QB rating: 55.0.

Matt Ryan @ New Orleans (Week 8):

19/42, 289 yards, 3 INTs, 1 TD. QB rating: 46.6.

If this game was at Atlanta, I think the Falcons would win. But it's not.

Saints 28
Falcons 24

Damn Hartley...

I just couldn't see the Saints getting all of the breaks to fall their way 3 weeks in a row and they did not. The Falcons and the Saints are both going to make the playoffs, not sure who wins the division.

That final drive was money. And it speaks levels of Matt Ryan's ability to be able to lead those long drives with multiple 4th down conversions to soak up the clock, especially in the Super Dome.

Assuming the Sean Weatherspoon injury isn't going to keep him out at all, this defense is only going to get better.

 

[Justo]

the greatest thing in the game besides the kick was the leadership that Ryan showed on the timeout, screaming in the lineman's face showed he knows how to lead the team

 

[Point Blank]

Yeah, It was good to see him showing some leadership like that. They showed Matt screaming and getting hyped on the sidelines a few times. :wub:
