So what did we learn tonight?

[Tank]

We learned that NO will is good enough to play bad and still win. They just may be pissed next week because they played bad tonight and look to right the ship against the Panthers next week. There is a reason NO is 7-0. It aint because they suck. Panthers are 3-4 for a reason.

Apply pressure w/ blitzes and we'll eat your lunch with 10-15 yard passes all day.

We usually beat the teams who have never been to a superbowl!

[Saint J]

And that has to do with this thread how?

who said they suck? Saints were #1 offense all of last year, and we beat them twice. Its the same team. Did i call a blowout no, but say the Panthers can't beat the Saints cleanly is pure ignorance.

This is the same bullshit that you guys spewed in advance of the game in Charlotte last year and you put up a mighty 7 points.

[Saint J]

How is it the same team? This team runs the ball well, this team gets after the QB, this team forces TOs, and htis team up to this point has played disciplined football. Tonight was easily the worst defensive performance of the Saints all year yet they held Atlanta to 20 points and won the game. You guys are acting like tonight was the rule but it is really the exception.

There just might be a little difference in a mediocre team and a 7-0 team that is the best in the NFL. just might.

Colts > Saints

You've got a very short term memory. Were you calling the Saints a mediocre team before our first meeting last year? No, you were claiming that the Saints would be undefeated if you had a kicker but that when the team "turned it on" that they were going to win the division. Oh by the way, that Michael Turner guy just ran for 150 on your defense....got your excuse lined up for that one?

[Tank]

The Saints just beat (came from behind) a very good hard nosed Atlanta team who HAD to win this to close to 1 game or go down 3. Guess what? They went down 3. You guys beat a zombie Carolina club and think you are going to the Super Bowl. The Saints didn't even play well tonight and won the game. You are dreaming. DREAMING if you think Delhomme can hang.

[Saint J]

Right, but our record was sub .500 and our defense was still terrible.

Turner's 150 is due to sloppy football, Saints tackled like sh*t and didn't contain. Since we have a top flight coordinator I'd expect those things will be fixed on Sunday. After all, that hasn't happened much this year.

Somebody get this guy an edit button, stat.

matt ryan is really pretty average. he doesn't move well in the pocket at all, can't handle pressure, and locks on to his favorite tight end all the time. his only TD pass came on a blimp that a better corner would have come down with. he's not very physically gifted, and plays in a system designed to hide his deficiencies. he also can't play unless there's the threat of a running game.

im trying to think where ryan ranks, and all these QBs are ahead of him

Brees

Manning

Donovan

Romo

Favre

Rodgers

Cutler

Warner

Brady

Roethlisberger

Palmer

Flacco

Manning

Schaub

Rivers

Orton

you could make an argument for Cassel or Warner.

the falcons are a very untalented team and their offensive scheme hides a lot of holes that were exposed tonight, namely that Ryan is pretty average.
