Not waiting for game night....Several Saints players tweeted that their bus was egged as they left the Atlanta airport tonight!
I think the season comes down to this game. If Saints win, the hope of a winning season and wild card berth are still alive. If we lose, the absolute best we can hope for is a winning season at 9-7. It would be pretty cool to send Atl to 10-2, wth the 2 both coming to the Saints!
My dream scenario is that we beat them tonight, rally and make the playoffs. The stars and moons align, we get matched up to play Atlanta in first or second round, and we beat them a third time. It would be sweet to see all three defeats by the saints. A man can dream can't he.
http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/43749/the-sports-guys-thursday-nfl-pick-8 Bill Simmons thinks the Falcons are severely overrated and picks the Saints to win tonight. I like that dream scenario and would add that somehow we also get revenge on those 49er punks.
and there's Roman Harper out of position again contributing absolutely nothing to the pass defense. The guy made a few sacks the past few years due to the prior scheme of blitzing every other down. When he actually has to play his position, he's worthless. Cut bait!
Lousy first half, even for Brees. First the two picks, then the brain fart pass in the final seconds to kill the last drive on the 3-yard line. I have a feeling the TD pass streak comes to an end tonight.
