The Falcons used to have a commanding lead didn't they? Like 10 or 20 years ago?

Putting my Falcon’s hatred aside for a very, very, very brief moment ( ), that offense should basically be unstoppable. They have an insane amount of talent at all of their skill positions. Holding them to 17 points today is impressive, in my opinion.

Well…… 56/2=28.

And it’s been 3 years since we swept the clowns in a season. That’s close enough to 28-3 for me.

Yep…SP/Drew’s ownership of the birds finally balanced things out. Never thought I’d see the day. This seemed impossible to fathom not too long ago.

Ah yeah the Golden Age of the Saints as I have referred many times on here. Oh how I miss those days.

Yeah. There was a run from like 1995-1999 where the Falcons won 10 or 11 straight.

We also did the same thing last year week 18 and week 15 of 22.

Atl won most games in the Haslett era to. It started to shift in 06.

Yeah they had like 28 and we only had 3.....

Yep. Mora got it to within 4 in 1994 (24-28), but then he lost the last four on his way out and Ditka lost all six of his games vs. the Falcons because rumor has it he didn’t care about or regard the rivalry as credible. Haslett treaded water on the 14-game lead the Falcons held (6-6 from 2000-05) but Payton’s success closed the gap all the way down. Allen oversaw the rest of the comeback and had the lead after last season’s finale. Let’s hope Coach Nextcoach builds on the Saints’ lead.

How can anyone argue with math?

Yeah, I think Haslett swept them in 2000 but once Vick was on the Falcons, we had no answer for him until 06’.

If I were calling offensive plays for them yesterday, I would have run on almost every down. That Bijan Robinson is very hard to bring down. Sometimes, OCs stick with a game plan instead of taking what the D is giving. The Honey Badger is grateful they stuck with their plan, and so am I.
