OT: Monday Night Football- Saints vs. Falcons

[Patspsycho]

If anyone's watching...

I see NO is choosing to double Gonzlaez right off the LOS. I am not sure I agree with that because Ryan is picking them apart with the dink and dunk.

Great drive.. balanced combination of run and pass.

 

[Deus Irae]

Great opening series for the Falcons quiets the crowd with an 8 play touchdown drive.

Aha! An official thread!

From the one I thought was being re-purposed as the MNF thread:

Woot! Falcons 7-0 on their opening drive. So much for the Saints "dominant" D, at least on that drive. Let's hope it stays that way! :singing:

 

[Kontradiction]

Falcons are going to win this game, IMO. Saints are way too overhyped.

Saints driving up with ease. So far I've seen man coverage, 4-2-5, and zone plus cover 3/4 and yet NO is on the 30 now.

Hey David Thomas makes a catch! Looks like an all O game so far.

 

[Patspsycho]

Eckel in action.

 

[Patspsycho]

Great audible by Brees to adjust to deep cover and go for a pull with the RB cutback up the middle.

 

[patchick]

To be a "dominant" defense shouldn't you rank in the top 10 in EITHER scoring defense or yards allowed?

Incredible offense, pretty average defense.

 

[batbl18]

Why don't our RB's look explosive like these guys playing tonight? :confused2:

 

[patriots pam]

Shootout here we come...probably just have to hope the Falcons get the last shot from the looks of things.

Falcons took less plays to get their TD than NO did, for theirs.

 

[patriots pam]

Falcons sack Brees, force a fumble and return it for a TD! SWEET!!!!!!! 14-7 Falcons!

[SVN]

atlanta cant stop the run...i hate gruden going overboard fawning with any and every saints or atl player who is on the field

 

[Patjew]

Why am I rooting for the Falcons? I have no idea.

 

[SVN]

i wish our pass rush is like what atl is bringing it tonite.

 

[SVN]

Why am I rooting for the Falcons? I have no idea.

because of 16-0 threat...

Competitive balance, and so NO isn't undefeated when we face 'em... that also lets all the undefeated focus and pressure land on Indy...
