Saints and Falcons both without 1st round picks for 2012 draft

obviously with both teams making the playoffs and us sitting at 6-10 they were better than us this year.

i was pointing this out to show we are in a good position to overtake them and make a run at the division title next season.

i didn't think this logic would be so tough for some people to follow, my bad

You should know better by now.

I was thinking about this earlier too. While I don't think the Saints will significantly drop off because of this trade because they have Brees, but the Falcons... I think this could mark the beginning of the end of the Mike Smith/Matt Ryan era in Atlanta.

Not the point. They're taking risks that can lead to a fall from grace easily. Tons of FA and lack of picks hurt. We were in the same spot in 08 and look where we were in 09 and 10. Poo happens in a year.

I agree with Uptown Bully. I think you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. These moves might hurt them like ours hurt us but it is still too early to really tell, especially seeing as they both have playoff caliber teams and the pick wasn't that high to begin with, so losing it so as big of a deal.

In 09 Jake had a Meltdown and in 10 JR took a big poo on us. Why is everyone so blind to that? 10 is the season JR straight up fuged us and then apologized for it.

The 08 season where we gave up picks and had a bunch of FA we had a 12-4 record and our whole team was playing great before the tommy jone meltdown in the playoffs, it was our QB. Both teams have their 'franchise qb'.

There is no real argument here except it makes me happy they don't have their first round picks, but to say they will just start sucking immediately becasue of it while we take over the south is kind of going overboard.

As of now the only thing significant is we swapped places for third with the Bucs who seem to be going downhill quick.

Well, I don't think it will make that big a deal to NO, but I get the sense that Atlanta feels the same desperation we did when we were making those bad decisions. Giving up so much to get Julio was a desperate move to make the jump to playoff winner and Super Bowl contender, but their failure in the playoffs again has led to even the owner showing his anxiety.

That's a team that is ready to make some stupid moves in order to take the next step. Sometimes the worst thing for a team is to believe you are very close and only player or two away from the Super Bowl.

I'm not saying it's gonna happen immediately. I said it can lead to a drop off, not that it will. I just don't think the win now mindset is the best idea for teams.

But again who knows what can happen in the offseason to shake the division up.
