They simply mimicked Saints 2009 Season..

With the exception of DOMINATING most of the opponents, they've used our 2009 formula which is, take the lead early, and slow it down and eat the clock down.
The Coaching simply compared and copied.
Looking at some of their older games i watched how they took a lead and just stepped on their opponents neck by allowing their offense on the field as less as possible, tiring their D and then letting their D wear out their opponents offense taking them off the field fast to wear the D out some more..

Ryan does A LOT of dink and dunk drop offs for short chunk drives and they convert as much as the D allows them, once they find a weakness they gun for it down the field and score..
Saints had this exact same style last year with a few differences, our ground game wasn't as good, but we had the ability to ware Defenses out or at least give them all they could take until they figure us out.. we seemed to always have the other team figured out early in the games, this year not so much..
Last year i also saw Drew on the sidelines studying the other team D looking at screen cap's, breaking down the D, this year no so much, however i now see Matt Ryan doing this for every game....

I think we've been over looking a lot of our opponents this season and thats the reason we've slipped up most of the times, but i think it's going to come down Monday Night to who knows each other's team the best and who can cause the least penalties..
This was the case in our first game as well ironically, but we also weren't at full strength and our kicker well.. nevermind..

Anyway i hope Sean is going to orchestrate his best game and not try and play relaxed and Gregg Williams got his boys fired up, the past couple of games the have been tackling with one hand, i don't know maybe im the only one that see's that but i swear it's like this team is either busy trying to strip the ball or not trying to get penalized, the tackling have been weak as hell the past couple of games.. I mean we are Marshmallow soft this year.
 
If the Saints had turner type back that could stay healthy.
We would be on top of the division right now.
I dont think the preparation hurt us.

Saints 2009 offense played lights out. Very explosive and could score from anywhere on the field. Falcons are a slow methodical ball control offense. The Eagles took that away from them and the Steelers simply shut them down for the most part.

Defensively, the Falcons are probably a little more consistant overall but do not possess the take-away advantage the Saints enjoyed last year.
