Saints @ Falcons...

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. Need I say anything else?

Score? Saints 45-10
Brees? Probably 350+ yards
Falcons offense? About 225 yards

This is going to be ugly in their own house. Later, QD.

saints... :goodjob:

[quickdodge®]

Hey man, I have to be honest. I love the Falcons but they just haven't shown a reason to be too confident in them. I'm still rooting for them. Saints are just way too strong right now. Later, QD.

[ilovemyhonda.]

The Saints are doing an amazing job right now. Even if they would have lost yesterday I would have still stuck by them. Does make me happy they were able to win in overtime though. I will have the pleasure of being at this game. My first NFL game and my favorite team. I am soooo excited.

[VIP Style]

if ryan and turner return, it wont be too ugly. if redman gets the start, good lord help those falcons.

You are right. R&T will help out, but the defense will let the Saints have this one. Later, QD.

[redblackfan]

without ryan and turner its hard to believe we can win, and the o line is hurt

It's hard to believe anyways. lolol


The Saints have this wrapped up already. Their first string would have to die in a crash for the Falcons to win.

[VIP Style]

I really dont know what has happened with the falcons this season. Seems to me that after the cowboys game, it just gradually went down hill from there. the offense has been getting to these slow slow starts, injuries to key players, and that defense just seems to be losing steam.

I don't think the defense really ever had steam. It's been a bane of the team all year. Sucks to have a pretty decent offense be overshadowed by a lousy defense. Later, QD.

[ueyedgr8tness]

i say they need to spend more $ and pick up some more good player's..

[VIP Style]

The offense is decent at most, but has been lacking those explosive, fast starts like we have seen earlier in the season(49ers game for example).

another deep threat down the field, and some stellar DB's should do the trick, and if norwood can stay healthy.

yep:yes: because tony needs some 1 else they can throw to so he want be double covered 24/7..

[jle254]

Basically the falcons are sort of like the saints last year. The falcons have some really good playmakers on offense just like the saints last year. The only problem was the lack of defense. If the falcons can pick up a few veteran defensive players, they could definitely do damage. The offense already does enough damage with the gonzales, turner, white. good game though. Both teams have always put up a good fight against each other regardless of how good each team was that year. Well except for 06

[americanctm]

I haven't heard about Matt Ryan's or Turner's status for this game yet. But the o-line needs to do a better job in run situations, Jenkins needs to start being worth that 1st round draft pick and the defense will not see improvement until next year when they have a chance to get some guys in the draft and pick up some free agents. I'm just hoping they can go 9-7, 8-8.

Saints should dominate this game, it shouldn't be anywhere near as close as the last meeting was.

[quickdodge®]

Coach Smith says Ryan MAY return, but is not sure yet. He hasn't practiced this week, either. Later, QD.

[bdydrpdmazda]

Turner will prolly be back for this game because he almost gave it a shot in the Eagles game. After watching the saints performance this past weekend, I have to wonder if they may be coming to the end of their rope also, they are as notorious as the cowboys when it comes to blowing a good season. They have already clenched the division also so I wouldnt be suprised to see a couple starters take a seat for this one.

[jle254]

Yeah they do give up a lot of good seasons these past few years, but I high doubt they are going to sit any starters. Main reason is because they need to win one more game to lock a bye week in the play offs. Then after that they have a chance to get home field advantage.

Mehh not quitee. They did play very bad, but this isn't the first game they had that came down to the wire. Well example was the miami game and the games before they played NE. I do have to admit that they got really lucky with that missed field goal, but after that they did what they had to do. Scored to tie it up and their defense stopped them from scoring to bring it in over time. This is going to be an interesting one. Im pretty sure ryan and turner will be back just to get a shot at knocking the saints off from winning all games.

[97_c1vic]

If Ryan and Turner plays, then I'll have to go with the Falcons.

[VIP Style]

the defense was actually looking pretty good around the beginning of the season, but really, the offense has not been as hot as it should. redman just sucks ass, ryan has been looking like shit compared to last season, and turner really has not been on compared to last season as well. I dont know what games some of you been watching, but our offense needs to pickup the pace and get out of these slow starts.

[VIP Style]

you lost your mind son, ryan and turner will make it look less ugly than if redman got the start. when teams force ryan out of the pocket, or the pocket begins to collapse around him, he really is not all that great than when he has time to set his feet, but he has time to work on that. turner has not been much of a factor. norwood is more of a key to me, but he is always hurt.

The offense has been good. But not as good as could/should be. They have an offensive front that has the potential to be on the top with the Saints. The defense, although better earlier this year has really been their worst enemy all year. Even the games that the offense won, the defense didn't show up that good.

You speak of Ryan. I remember last year when everyone was whooping and hollering over Ryan and his first accomplishments. Saying he was the next great QB. And I remember specifically saying that's BS. As much as I liked his QB prowess over Vick's (this isn't a Vick argument, lolol), I wasn't going to give him the benefit of the doubt that Brett Favre Jr. was looming on the horizon. I think he was a great QB last year because no one expected him to be. They've caught on this year and have really put him to the test. I still think he is a good QB and just a level below great, but he needs help and to mature more. He's now being pressured into making mistakes that rookie QBs make.

With that, I hope Atlanta keeps most of the their offensive core and spends time looking at the defensive side of the ball. Later, QD.

[VIP Style]

absolutely, teams have caught on to how ryan operates, his tendencies, etc. so do you think atlanta is done this year?

I'm 100% positive they don't make the playoffs. They have four games left...NO, NYJ, Buffalo and TB. They have a good chance with NYJ and Buffalo. There is NO reason that they should lose to TB. Of the two (Buffalo and NYJ), the Jets will give Atlanta a harder time.

They are 6-6 right now. I predict and end of season record at 8-8.

That's with or without Ryan and Turner. Later, QD.

[VIP Style]

man honestly, the way tampa bay almost stole it from us here at the dome, it would not surprise me if tampa gets the win over ATL.

I think we win 3 out of the next four but will that be enough to get us a wildcard slot?

Couldn't put it any better.


and about ryan. The guy is still a good QB. Yeah he was doing a lot of great things last year that he isn't doing this year, but like QD said Ryan didn't have much attention because no one expected. In other words, he had nothing to lose. He wasn't like the first pick of the draft or anything so he didn't have much pressure placed on him (like one of the biggest bust jamarcus russell). Then all the things with the new coach and all crazy things going on, ryan just was able to play more relaxed last year. This season now, expectations couldn't get any higher. He has much more pressure to have a season like last year. He is a good QB, and he did a lot the rookie season last year. He isn't doing that great now, but I think its just gonna take time. Its only his second year and he still has many years ahead of him to learn.


I hate to compare it but ryans situation is kind of like mark sanchez situation. It is just a shorter span for mark. In the beginning of this season sanchez played pretty well. Then the media like espn kept saying that he was the next joe namath, and sanchez was playing like a veteran and all kind of crazy things. More attention was placed on him when they were 3-0 and ever since he hasnt been playing that great. Now he's just a rookie qb



With that being said. I say they miss wild card slot this season, but if they make some moves during the off season then they will have a good season next year.

[VIP Style]

all the falcons need is some stellar top notch DB's, and another significant deep threat on offense, and we should be great. if ATL does that, no reason why we should miss the playoffs, better yet, take it all the way to the NFC championship.

Yes.

I doubt it will put them in the playoffs. You've got Dallas, Philadelphia, NY Giants and Green Bay all in front of them. That doesn't include the division leaders. Then you have Chicago, Carolina, San Fran and Seattle one game behind Atl. Later, QD.

[VIP Style]

anybody know if ryan and turner are returning this sunday?

[bdydrpdmazda]

just speculation but i think turner is and ryan is not, i know turner almost played against the eagles but decided at the last minute that he wasnt gonna but I heard that ryans turf toe could keep him out for several weeks.

[ilovemyhonda.]

I am so excited for this game!!

[VIP Style]

ryan need to suck that mess up, i played with a broken bone! turner need to get his big ass out there.

just saw on espn that ryan has already missed several practices this week

[bdydrpdmazda]

turner hasnt been practicing either...

[Glides]

This one is going to be so ugly, they will run out of strings to put in. 1st, 2nd, 3rd......they will get to like 25th string and start pulling Saints fans out of the stands to play the Falcons.

[Jblizzard]

is matt ryan playing?

prolly not, he hasnt been practicing this week

damn, we lose then.

Matt Ryan will be playing this weekend.

[Revmaynard]

I just realized I'm going to miss this game. FUCK At least it's for a car meet. Lol

[VIP Style]

IMO it really would not matter if ryan or turner plays, falcons are still probably going to lose this one, and call it quits for the season. turner and ryan have not been nearly as hot as they were last season, and that defense is getting worse by the week.

IDK, I think he is playing. espn has reported that ryan has been going through the walkthroughs, and is listed as questionable.
prolly not, he hasnt been practicing this week

[quickdodge®]

Ryan and Turner are still listed as questionable. They will be game time decisions. They say that Ryan hasn't practiced in any of the practices this week. Turner also missed all practices. Now Roddy White is on the questionable list for his knee.

Damn. Later, QD.

[KDM>JDM]

38 yards on a 3rd and 3

[KDM>JDM]

field goal on the first drive, better then i thought they would do on the first drive

[bdydrpdmazda]

field goals on the first two drives, were looking pretty good on offense so far today i must admit

[KDM>JDM]

so far better then i would have predicted untill as im typing this the saints score.

[bdydrpdmazda]

we are playing damn good "D" on 1st and 2nd down but we fuck it up every single 3rd down!

[VIP Style]

man falcons really need to tighten up, bush walked into the endzone from 21 yards out.

[bdydrpdmazda]

3rd downs are killing us but Redman/Jenkins are looking good and hooking up alot today.

[KDM>JDM]

yeah they are killing us on 3rd downs, redman is looking alot better then last week

Not trying to post alot but you gotta post when we finally hold the saints on 3rd down an it was a 3rd and 1

[bdydrpdmazda]

hold them to a field goal, thats what the fuck Im talking about

[KDM>JDM]

yeah who the hell was he trying to fool? i guess he saw a jersey in the stands to throw too but im glad the called it

[bdydrpdmazda]

weve got to eat the rest of this clock, even if its only for a field goal

[KDM>JDM]

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[bdydrpdmazda]

MOTHER FUCKER! INTERCEPTION

[KDM>JDM]

only hope is to hold them to a field goal an score a touchdown, but theyre just going to try to run the clock now

[KDM>JDM]

THANK YOU! now miss it

[KDM>JDM]

FUCK YO FAKE

[bdydrpdmazda]

HOLY SHIT, ITS NOT OVER YET, what a dumb call by the saints

oh well, we put up a good fight, better than anyone expected.

the falcons should be ashamed of themselves right now. yeah ryan and turner are out, but my goodness the offense still has some playmakers. (white, gonzales, norwood, snelling) I couldnt believe they didnt convert on that 4th down attempt. falcons are done, hell if I were turner or ryan, i wouldnt even bother coming back this season to a team thats not playing like they wanna win.

forgot a key playmaker....they QB, if we aint got a QB thats any dangerous then you really don't got to worry bout the passing game too much.

[VIP Style]

did some of you forget what redman did up in seattle the last game of the season before ryan came? he was the projected starter which means he is very capable. another thing that pissed me off yesterday was how the falcons receivers were too busy throwing their hands up looking around for a yellow flag when the saints put some hands on them. its football, make a gadang play and keep it moving!

[Greddypacked]

Falcons played good and their franchise will continue to get better even if they dont go to the Bowl or even the playoffs. We might still make the playoffs maybe :dunno:.

Who else were they battling the wildcard spot with? I know it was the eagles, baltimore, and more but the loss yesterday gave them a huge setback. Highly doubt they would reach the playoffs with all of the other teams fighting for the same spot.

CUZ their f>CKING quarterback is in his second year that's why. When you get a new leader of the offense (qb) and his real good off the bat and stays w/ the team for awhile, all the players start connecting better on offense. Geesh I mean common sense, plus Gonzalez's first year on their squad not to mention alot of the d-fence is new. IF you followed the Falcons very well you know over the few years they have been in a slump (coaches quitting them, Vick arrested) and not really having a set base first string (throwing in third string here and there looking to fill spots even in regular season). Now the team pretty much has what it has been looking for and can grow on it. The Falcons had a tough schedule this year, but their losses were alot of close games and came down to minor errors not from lack of skill. They know what to fill in for next year already and dont have to fill in key spots like *rb, qb, o line, d line* they pretty much need to strengthen their secondary. This year they can still make it to the playoffs, the Bills arent that good this year. N.Y. Jets has on and off days and we almost beat an undefeated team. The Falcons losses were close games anyways. We just need the Giants to loose the next two and we win lol. SO if the Falcons want the playoffs they need to bust it and win the rest, if they dont no they wont make it.

[quickdodge®]

SO if the Falcons want the playoffs they need to bust it and win the rest, if they dont no they wont make it.

Mathematically they are not out. Realistically, they have no shot.

Here is how it looks:

If Green Bay wins next week, they clinch a wild card. They play at Pittsburgh. They should win it, but if not and the Falcons lose, they still clinch a spot. They are currently 3 games ahead of Atlanta with 3 games left.

Now on to the second (and final) WC spot. Philadelphia and Dallas are fighting for 1st place in their division. Philadelphia is at 3 games ahead of Atlanta now and Dallas is 2 games ahead. If Dallas wins against New Orleans next week (which they may not do), they will knock Atlanta out whether or not Atlanta wins.

Basically, if Dallas and Green Bay wins next week, they are both in WC spots. Even if Atlanta wins.

If Dallas loses and Atlanta wins, Dallas will hold a 1 game lead over the Falcons going into the next-to-last weekend where Dallas plays Washington and Atlanta plays Buffalo.

Again, Dallas has to lose out and Atlanta win out for Atlanta to have a chance to make WC. Also, if Dallas loses out and Atlanta loses 1 game, they need for the NY Giants to lose 2 for them to make it.

Too many unlikely scenarios for this to happen. Later, QD.

If Dallas wins against New Orleans next week (which they may not do), they will knock Atlanta out whether or not Atlanta wins.

Basically, if Dallas and Green Bay wins next week, they are both in WC spots. Even if Atlanta wins.

If Dallas loses and Atlanta wins, Dallas will hold a 1 game lead over the Falcons going into the next-to-last weekend where Dallas plays Washington and Atlanta plays Buffalo.

Again, Dallas has to lose out and Atlanta win out for Atlanta to have a chance to make WC. Also, if Dallas loses out and Atlanta loses 1 game, they need for the NY Giants to lose 2 for them to make it.

Too many unlikely scenarios for this to happen. Later, QD.

Anything can happen. :goodjob:

I never said they were out. I just said that in all likelihood they are. Of course I hope they make it. Later, QD.

Atlanta hasnt won a Superbowl yet, and it will be cool when they do. I was at the winning game back in the 90's when the Braves won Game 6 to win the World Series. Was pretty crazy.

Man was I wrong about this game. Coach Smith had those guys ready to play, and they hung in there to the very end against one of the top teams in the league without our starting QB, RB, best return man, and a depleted defense. Damn that man deserves some credit.

I am on the fence about this season. I'm torn on whether they should try to go 9-7 and try for the WC spot however, improbable it may be, or lose out and go 6 - 10 to get a better 1st round draft slot since they have no 2nd round pick.
