Superdome, LA ESPN 8:30 PM ET

I know we're a big underdog in this game. IF we lose, I just hope we come out of that place respectable with our heads up.

[Bette]

Good luck Robert because the Saints play tough at home. Even tougher than they have.

[Robertdjr]

Not a real bad showing against the Saints last night. I think we gave those guys a run for their money. I'm also very optimistic about our future. We certainly need to work on our Hail Mary play though. I didn't see too many Falcons down there where Matty Ice threw the ball.

[Miz+Zou]

Saints come marching down and when it rains oh loard does it pours Saints 7-0 and if you say they arent promised in the playoffs there is something wrong with you because the rest of there schedules winning precentage is .385

[Bette]

Not a bad showing at all for sure Robert. That was a good game.
Falcons let too many opportunities slip or else this would have been theirs. But its a young team.
I forgot it was the Falcons that the Saints whupped so bad in the first game in the Dome after Katrina. Falcons were the favorites in that game if I remember right.
But both teams have come a long way since then.
Unless something happens to Brees, it looks like the Saints march right on into the Super Bowl.
But keep an eye on those Falcons in the future.

That's right, Bette. I was so disgusted with ESPN's coverage that night, I quit watching the game in the 3rd quarter. They turned a simple football game into a political statement about New Orleans, how bad things were, and how bad the government was handling it. While all of that may/may not have been true, I tuned in to watch a football game with my favorite team. I did not tune in to be preached to. I could get plenty of that, if I wanted, from CNN/MSNBC/FOX and the rest. If they'd just treated it as a football game, I never would have turned it off, even if the Falcons were getting soundly beaten. That's just the kind of fan I am.

I hate ESPN football coverage so much I had the game muted half of the time.
