Sean Payton on @Falcons: "I'm sure it will come down to the final drive"

"When we play Atlanta, it oftentimes comes down to the final drive. It did in last year's games, and I'm sure it will on Sunday," Saints coach Sean Payton said.

opening line had Falcons by 1, now it has Saints by 3

last year's two wins by New Orleans over Atlanta were decided by a grand total of 10 points. Seven of the past 11 games in the rivalrty have been decided by four points or less

Watching a little bit of this game trying not to puke.  Either the Saints' offense looks godly or the Falcons' defense looks like pure trash.  Probably a little bit of both to be honest.

 

Drive undone by a penalty and an uncharacteristic Drew Brees miss.  Brees has all day and receivers running all over the place wide open.

couple posts on a Bucs forum:

For those that saw the Falcons/Saints game today...which I'm sure many here did..... it was a great game...and a great fight.

Wow.

Those two teams are an a whole different level . That game looked like a freakin 12 round Heavy Weight Fight between Ali and Frazier. They were primed-up like it was a playoff game

The Saints, Falcon game was an example of how this game is designed to be played, sad only a few of the current teams can get close.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
