Impact of the Saints Beating the Falcons

rdhamilton said

I just got done listening to talk radio here in Atlanta about the game Sunday, it seems that loss we gave them has shook the team to the core. It was the official last action that has finally had the team fall apart. They are especially bashing D.Hall for going for that pick on the hail mary and R.White for his dropped passes. What I don't understand is why the horse collar on Devery Henderson in the end zone doesn't have more emphasis on it, I mean it was so blatant and it could have seriously hurt him. Was not outright said but they also hinted that we ran up the score a little bit on them, though I didn't see that either. Good week for LA though tigers and Saints win big. -Me

They were already reeling before yesterday's game. We just put the final nail in their coffin... With the Mora Sr.'s comments this past week, the owner's (Blenk) comments last week, and their fast start (5-2), and attrocious tumble the past 4 weeks (0-4), coupled with last year's second half demise, it wasn't going to take much to see this mutiny in Hotlanta come to fruition for both the team and their fans...

To make matters worse, they (the Hotlanta fans) didn't respect our team - They still believe our win in week 3 was a fluke... At 7-4, I'll take all the flukes you want to give me.

Bottomline: Better all this hoopla and finger pointing happen to them than us.

As for running up the score, that's ridiculous. Vick proved all day that he's one tackle from a TD. That and an onsides kick recovery, and they're right back in it before Deuce's last score. It's really a mute point - All they had to do was stop Duece on that 9 yard run.
