Question Falcons Hate Week (2 Viewers)

I wish I could claim that it's mine, but this backyard doesn't exist. It's an AI generated picture.

Damn. Had me fooled. That's disappointing.

No ho-hum. Avoid the sweep.

Agreed. It's Arthur Smith for Christ sake.

I am sorry that I missed it, as every week is Falcons hate week for me.

OutKast are still cool!

Came close to picking up Speakerboxxx/The Love Below on vinyl this morning, but resisted.

That actually happened?

Yup, me and the kids were out vinyl shopping. I already have about 800 of them and was mighty tempted to add that one. But I decided to keep my $40. I hate that they are from Atlanta.

Neither team is up for the rivalry. A cursory glance of the Falcons board shows that a lot of them want the Falcons to lose to guarantee the Saints are stuck with Allen for another season.

Bring the noise; go for hoarse!

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.

I remember it ALL! If the NFL closed shop tomorrow I'd still hate the Failcons.

LOL...

Did I miss it?

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

The hate will be plentiful if they sweep us this year. I think the fans are waiting to see if we are really that much worse than Atlanta right now. I find it hard to talk smack about your biggest enemy team while they are humiliating you on the field. When we own them as we once did, the smack will flow freely.

I just ain't got it in me.
