Question Falcons Hate Week

[Merleaux]

I need to find my 28-3 hat

This is our yearly guys trip in our family and my first time in the dome this year. Better believe I’m ready oh and every week is hate Falcons week

I’ll be there Sunday as well. Section 122.

 

[LoE]

Did I miss it?

Are we playing so bad that we no longer can talk smack about the Falcons?

Damn right.

I will NEVER stop talking smack those dead roasted stinking birds.

 

[LoE]

I have a long-lived never-ending hate for those nasty birds going back to the 70's. I DESPISE them. I have a lot of memories, sometimes in our stadium, sometimes in theirs. I hate that team of rotten no winning forever losing forever failing carrion eaters. That will never change.

Don't worry Merleaux. The hate is still there. After 50 years.

In a good way.

Wish they would redo those “I hate the Falcons” tshirts the Saints players wore from the late 70s / early 80s.

 

[Smooth_Criminal]

Light mode?!?

Ewww

You gotta fix that my guy.

You're one of those people?

 

[Blazing Saint]

F the alcons. I swear on everything if we get swept by Arthur Smith while keeping Allen for another year is going to be extra cringe.

Local Wendy's partnered with a company called "I hate enterprises" to print these shirts and sold them prior to the 1979 season opener vs Atlanta. This was because the previous season the Saints went 7-9 and lost to Atlanta twice on the last play of the game, two weeks apart. First one was in the Dome on Bartkowski's last-second trips-right bomb they called "Big Ben". Two weeks later on the Fulton County demolition derby track the trailing falcons heaved a last-second incomplete pass into the end zone, game over. No, wait. DPI against the Saints. Ref Grover Klemmer flags a clean pass breakup giving Atlanta an untimed down from the one yard line, boom, Saints lose. The two last second losses to Atlanta would have flipped that Dick Nolan coached Saints squad to a possible winning record for the first time ever. Saints also lost three one-score games that season, were very close to being 12-4! So Saints host the next year (1979) opener against Atlanta. Probably 90% of the fans in the Dome are sporting "I Hate the Falcons" shirts. Tie game, overtime, Saints snap the ball over Erxleben's head, Atlanta wins on OT walkoff. I still hate those buggars.

That sounds very brutal. Saints fans back then were that loyal.

[Darth Deuce]

It's always falcons hate week at my house!

Roast them dirty birds!

Dude! Let's see that backyard.

Season was lost when we let them beat us earlier.
I don't care if we only win two games all year as long as we beat the falcons twice.
Hohumm about the whole thing now.
