MNF: Falcons @ Saints

[EKmane]

This should be a good one. Brees has a chance to set the passing mark tonight. If he does break it in these next two games I'm not sure how he can't win mvp, or at least a share of it? That would be crazy to me if a man breaks a long time record like most passing yards in a season, leads his team to the playoffs, all while maintaining an almost 4 to 1 td to int ratio.
At the same time I think (and hope) the Falcons get by the Saints this time. The Falcons will be all the way healthy this go around, plus the offense has been playing excellent ball.

brees just carries that team. i wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with over 5500 yards. he was looking kinda blah earlier in the year as well.

Atlanta is the better team. That doesnt mean theyll win the game but I think the Falcons are way more complete than New Orleans. Ill say 27-24 Atlanta.

 

[Flyingiguana]

ya well atlanta doesn't have brees...

 

[EKmane]

Pierre Thomas puts a bow on the ball and gets flagged for using prop. LOL. I like that celebration, I haven't seen that yet. I wonder if he cleared those 15 yards with his coach and special teams first?

I doubt it....seems a little dumb in a game this important.

Brees Watch:

1st drive: 2/4 for 49 Yards - 256 yards to break the record!

Go Brees! - Go Atlanta!

The Saints are scarier than the Pack, in my opinion.

 

[Mozart'sGhost]

Gonzalez needs to show Davis how to find that open spot in the middle and just sit down............and then to catch the ball of course.

 

[Mozart'sGhost]

Nice throw by Ryan there.

 

[EKmane]

Julio! Jones is a monster at the wideout. I think he's going to have very good career. The Falcons are a scary team too, with all of these weapons. It seem that you have to play all these teams like the Saints, Falcons and Pack the same way. Run, run and run some more. You have to try to keep those offenses off the field as much as possible. Keep attacking their soft defenses, although the Saints d you'll have to get more creative.

 

[MW49ers5]

Wow - Quick response from Ryan & Co. - Damn, I wish we could respond like that. We just might have the shootout some expected to have...

 

[EKmane]

terrible call. These new rules to "keep the wr safe" are for girls. This is a man's game. How can a lb not be allowed to light up a crossing wr?

Brees Watch:

1st drive: 2/4 for 49 Yards - 256 yards to break the record!

Go Brees! - Go Atlanta!

What's the watch like now? Brees engineered a pretty good td drive there too. Although I hated the call on the Lofton hit on Colston.

 

[MW49ers5]

Brees Watch:

Two Drives: 6/10 for 97 Yards - 208 yards to break the record!

Go Brees! - Go Atlanta!

Unless the 49ers completely screw it up in St. Louis, I'm so glad that Brees will have to come out to the Stick. That dude is scary good in perfect weather of a dome... while much more human in the possible gusts by the Bay... here's to hoping that an unusually calm day doesn't happen.

Kind of strange that we're looking at a pre-season rematch. I'd be completely disappointed if the offensive line didn't play out of their minds after getting embarrassed in New Orleans back in August.

 

[EKmane]

Whew! Gotta love the tip drill. I thought N.O. was going in for another td.

 

[MW49ers5]

Brees Watch:

3 Drives: 11/18 for 168 Yards - 137 yards to break the record!

Go Brees! - Go Atlanta!

[MW49ers5]

Brees Watch:

4 Drives: 15/25 for 230 Yards - 75 yards to break the record!

Go Brees! - Go Atlanta!
