It would be pretty sweet if the Saints got a freaking marching band to play their music, like in college. That would be cool.

You know what, my saints have stopped the running game every game thus far and our undefeated! Only one TD in three games against us all season so please stop. Our team has its holes but you know what they play with heart and discipline and like Sean payton said to the team, just like the 2004 or 02 or whatever it was nba olympic basketball team, all the talent in the world doesn't guarantee you a win. The team with the heart drive and discipline with a decent amount of talent can go very far. and beat a team lacking in one of those areas.
also people talking about the game being rigged sh%t need to stop, and quit looking for excuses.

I rooted for them only because I can't stand watching Vick at QB I realized tonight. I don't care what anyone says, the man is not "exciting" as advertised. He can't throw. The Falcons are almost in a bind given his popularity. You can't give another QB a shot, and yet it's questionable if Vick can take the team where they need to go. He's a heck of an athlete but he's got none of the mentality of a QB.
If a team can stop the run, the Falcons are basically QB-less. Completely handicapped. By the end the receivers were giving up on routes and everything due to his lack of accuracy. The team seriously needs to start thinking about grabbing a QB in next year's draft or an offseason 2nd option. Obviously this year they're committed to him but how many more years do you give a guy if he has another poor year in completion percentage? Like Tony said, you can't go 8/25 and expect to win unless your going to run for 300.
Mute said:They'll never match the Raider Nation. The fact that the Raiders have any fans left after their choke in the Superbowl and consecutive sucking these past 3 years is proof
I am not saying dedication wise cause lord knows we have a lot, probably too many fair weather fans. Just the ones that are consistent are the best and coolest people i have meet that are football fans, genuinely most are pretty good guys and girls, much more then the Bronco fans(my other team) that just want another Elway all the time and rip the team apart if they don't win the superbowl.

I think they are stuck with him though, I think they signed like a 100 million dollar contract or something ridiculous. I know he is the highest paid QB now though. Hey its great for my saints though we took away their only weopons and now gave every team a blueprint to stop them. Can't wait to stomp them next time
Nameless said:
trust me after tonight they will be back to bashing the saints and making excuses for their wins, As a saints fan we have no friends on any of their shows except (steve young) they all collabrate to bash our success when we actually have some. They already tried damage controlling for the falcons during the half saying, well the turf is new and vick can't run, and the emotions and blah blahblah. They will focus on the saints for a day then its on to next weeks game because like the nfl they are all about the money and ratings.

Steve Young's a moron calling them one of the leagues top talented teams. He said the same of Washington. He's very much stuck in early 90's football thinking 4 good to great players makes a team. They were underrated talent wise, and I called the win against Atlanta as well as their previous 2. That said, they've still have a ways to go before I call them top 5 talented teams in the league. No disrespect to Saints fans because you guys are good and have been this whole season. They have balance, and Brees was a huge pick up for this team in securing that balance.
I have no problem with calling them good. I have a problem with overzealous guys like Young and the transparent opinions of ESPN in general like Nameless - who completely skip to their next claim when they're wrong on a previous one. And that also said, i don't wish they lost 45-3, because we'd have to hear about more Atlanta and more Vick who've already gotten a mass of attention to start. Let the Saints enjoy it instead.
Deuce was on his way to the field on that 3rd and goal as the 3rd down back, but they called him back to give Bush a second chance at his first TD. PWNT!DMczaf said:
I got away with one leaving out Houshmandzadeh and Jennings...thought I was done for!
Thanks, Brett Favre and the Lions D! <3
Speaking of which, the radio coverage of local games we get here actually discusses football concepts like routes and coverages rather than splooging how RBs are great because of their legs, or just a few hours ago... how some WR or DB was great because he caught with his handsJ2 Cool said:

*sigh* We lose one ****ing game and every one thinks the sky is falling on our heads. NO came out like a team possessed and we came out flat as hell. The blocked punt followed by Crumpler dropping not one but TWO TD passes absolutely killed any momentum we could have regained. Vick isn't to completely blame for our offensive failures either. Dropped passes, blown blocking assignments, horrible blitz pickups, bad throws, and absolutely no running lanes for Dunn, Norwood, or Vick. Just a shitty performance all the way around for the offense.
Our defense performed decently under the circumstances. Allowed only one TD and 3 FGs even though they were on the field for most of the game. NO only scored 3 in the second half. The only real negative I saw from a defensive standpoint was that there wasn't enough pressure on Brees. It'll be good to get Abraham back.
Hopefully he'll back this week, in which case, I feel sorry for the Cards. Specifically for the rookie, Matt Leinart.

Exactly. Of course on GAF if you don't put the blame soley on Vick then you are considered an apologist. The offense as a whole including Vick was terrible last night. You also can't take away from how disciplined the Saints D played. They played a damn near perfect game.
Also, so first it was Tampa that had the blueprint to stopping Vick, and now it's the Saints? Yeah right.
Rorschach said:
These jokes will seriously never get old. :lol Oh, and I like how even though Kurt Warner has thrown for nearly 800 yards and has 5 TD's, he's being benched for being ineffective. Sure, he's had 6 turnovers overall... but uhh, it could be a lot worse. I think Leinart is gonna get killed when he starts.

Vick also had a $35 million signing bonus.
Aren't bonuses counted against the cap if the player doesn't play for that team? Or is that only if that team cuts the player?
And LOL at your comment about the Falcons fan base dying if Vick is let go. This city has always followed the winner. We don't care who's leading the charge just as long as someone actually is leading.
