N/S - Falcons are the best of the NFC South (1 Viewer)

[SAINTS 12]

They havent played a top 25 QB yet this season..they should be 4-0 also have the easiest schedule in the NFL this year!! and whats up with all the falcon topics on a "Saints Main Message Fourm"..

funny to me personally that there is so much animosity for us here. I mean, yeah, I want to beat you guys, and I want to win the division, but I've been watching these teams play since the mid 70s, and you guys barely crack the top five of teams I root against. As long as there are Niners, Cowgirls, Packers and Panthers around, you'll be fighting out Philly for #5, lol.

Then why exactly are you here? Why aren't you on a Falcon board gloating about winning there? You are here because your team is winning. If they start losing again you'll disappear like a fart in the wind. You claim you don't care but you're on a rival's board constantly answering posts with snide replies and faux respect all while telling us how little you care about our team. You know how little I care about your team? I never joined your boards because my team was regularly beating yours. I don't need that validation but apparently some people do.......

 

[Hardcorefakes]

Sigh....

You're 18, not 45.

True, but it's not like the win is fresh on our minds right now.

I don't have any real animosity for the Falcons, even though it's a rivalry I feel like there's always been somewhat of a kinship there and the games are always so good and close. It's like Cubs-Cardinals, the two sides proclaim to hate each other so much but yet at the end we're both kind of the same.

I save all my loathing for the Panthers, who are the antithesis of sportsmanship and tradition; whose terrible owner is one of those that pulls Goodell's strings and invented the PSL; whose milquetoast white bread identity is the sports equivalent of a middle-upper class gated community where all the houses look exactly the same; whose quarterback is a punk-*** computer-stealing fraud who can't hit the broad side of the barn; who sold out Steve Smith, the best player they ever had, even though he was a punk he played his tail off for them for over a decade and deserved way better than what he got; who have such a lame-*** corporate atmosphere they can't even have their own logo on the field, they have the NFL shield instead; whose intellects are rammed so squarely up their own hindquarters they actually think Bountygate was a real thing because Scott Fujita hit somebody that one time; who are such an unimaginative relic of the 90s that they actually still wear teal, even the Florida Marlins managed to get rid of that crap; who were practically given license to be competitive by the NFL as an expansion team right away when all the expansion teams before that had to suffer for 20+ years; who built a statue of a guy outside their stadium even though he played the vast majority of his career with the Saints; whose mostly 13-year-old fans gripe and moan about how much they've supposedly suffered through so many bad years when they don't even know the meaning of the phrase; and whose very identity as a franchise/organization/team is based on the fact that they have zero identity, and they could win the next 5 Super Bowls and they still wouldn't have a single distinguishing characteristic that makes them any more than just a virtual stop at yet another Starbucks or Old Navy and thinking you're special because that's what lame-*** whitebread people do, and who cares about the Carolina Panthers. NOBODY. the end

Nice.

Your perception of time changes as you get older. 10 years for you is half a lifetime, for me it seems not that long ago and still "fresh in my mind", and I'm sure for someone even older it seems like even less time has passed.

 

[play action]

atlanta is playing much better than last year. but its only four games into the season,can they keep it going for the next three months. Saints will give em a fight,gaints let one slip away,falcons will lose a few that no one sees coming.

Funny to me that Falcon Fans are suddenly such experts at football. Just remember, what goes up must come down. Nobody's gone perfect exept the 1972 Dolphins. So, I expect that the high flying Falcons will come crashing back down to earth soon.
It's nice to know that Falcon fans like you have to come around to gloat b/c you've finally tasted some success. It's also nice to know that the Saints are the measuring stick whereby you base ATL's success on.
Come on back when your team can finally host the Lombardi.
I'm sorry, was that too much animosity for you?

Dan Quinn was the answer. I was hoping blank gave Smith another year. Their defense is aggressive and Ryan has the best WR in the NFL in Jones.

It hurts to admit it.

That's not saying much though.

 

[abnrgr]

Eagles and Texans are bad. Cowboys we're overrated and Giants are average but took Atlanta to the wire. Atlanta is playing well and has a weak schedule so they will make the playoffs. Injuries will tell the tale of how far they go but let's face it they will collapse in the post season.

This has to be the single worst post in the history of Saints Report. I mean, even if this was true, why on earth would you admit it? It's our worst enemy. To hell with them. New Orleans Saints want-a-bes.
Realistically, it's way to early to tell who is the best. It's still a long season and anything can happen.
The only team to have a perfect season was the 1972 Miami Dolphins. I don't expect that the Falcons will duplicate that accomplishment.
Get real. Give no quarter. It's the Falcons by God.
Let them come brag when they finally hold a Super Bowl trophy!

 

[Winter]

They went 13-3 in 2012 and what did they come away with? Nothing. Nada.

I just don't see Matt Ryan as a superbowl winner. Until they prove me otherwise and win one, I don't expect them to run through the NFC and win it all.

Best team in the south? Right now, yeah.

5 weeks from now? Its yet to be seen. Injuries, bad luck, they weren't who we thought they were etc. can change a team's fate in a weeks time.

The same way getting healthier, making adjustments, gaining experience and some change of luck can change a team's fortunes for the better in a couple weeks time.

We could be looking at 2 totally different teams by week 10.

 

[GeauxSainz]

I still hate the Panthers more. Dunno why.

Nobody sees a non QB superbowl winner until they win one. Matt Ryan has all the tools and the Falcons are likely in the same window the Saints were in 2009 and will be a force next 5 years.

If anything, I'd pick against them because first year head coaches rarely win Lombardis in their first year (George Seifert).

Replacing Brees is the biggest concern if we are to compete with Atlanta for the next 10 years.

gonna suck for them when they lose their first game to us!
