Week 1 - @ New Orleans

[Demonjoe93]

Unfortunately for me, the Jaguars sold out, so I will not be getting a game on FOX this weekend. I'd be more pissed about this, but the Falcons are playing the Saints on NFL Network later this season, so I know I'll be able to get to watch them play.

But anyways, who do you guys think will win this game? I want to pick the Falcons to win it, but this is in the Super Dome. :/

I think we split with them.

I'm as giddy as a school girl.

Our defense looks great so far. Alford Trufant McClain all stepping up

 

[Brees#1]

If it wasnt for Payton using Ingram in crucial plays, this would have been more like 31-24.

I'm so fucking tired of losing because of not running the ball. I'm not pissed that we lost; I'm pissed because of how we lost. We have Steven Jackson. We need to fucking utilize him.

He dropped two passes, one was in the endzone on the final drive

I mean hand him the ball for running it. We have enough receivers. I don't see why we should give him end-zone passes.

 

[ugafan6612]

Him and Tony dropped passes they would catch 9 times out of 10. I'm just tired of losing games like that. Same way we lost to them last year and SF in the playoffs

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Man that was a tough lose. I was pulling for you guys all the way. Playing the first game of the year, on the road, against the Saints, is a tough way to start the season. You guys came so close.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Eh, we'll bounce back against St. Louis next week. We usually lose in the Super Dome anyway.

 

[Kid Vicarious]

Just kidding guys. You all should of won that one yesterday. If it wasn't for a few key drop passes, especially the one in the endzone with 40 seconds left, you all would be sporting the 1-0 and early lead in the division. It's going to come down to us two for the division title for sure.

 

[geneh_33]

Well, we blew that one. Onward and upward.

RISE UP!

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Tough Loss

Game one kind of ending the same way the season ended LY...with Roddy not at full speed, I tend to agree with the thought that SJax should've had more touches as a runner in this game...he'll make up the TD drop...interesting that Ryan would go to him in that spot.

You don't make a splash signing like Jackson to preserve him in the 1st game...Koetter needs to ride him more.

 

[geneh_33]

Surely Smith will see the tapes and realize that he's got to change tact and run Jax more, throw less. If we keep throwing as much as we did last year Ryan won't make it through the season. These guys block better for the run so let's run!

 

[Brees#1]

Oh my goodness wow so many falcons here. Whatever, the falcons just don't play with the drive the saints do. The saints know they own the falcons and believe they can win everytime they play them. They always force mismatches and cause confusion of plays. It will always be that way at least once a year until Payton and Brees are gone. We aren't driven by the hype of the media and swayed by it or discouraged like other teams.Its how it is with the top rivalries, the saints are to the falcons what the pats and steelers are to the jets and browns.

Except unlike the Jets and Browns, we still own the overall series.
