oh, we just faced a team who is supposed to have a trio of 'fearsome' running backs.....what was the total rushing yards for those three? we gave that game away, we lost it, we didn't get beat

papa, I've been around here long enough to understand that the Falcons have never been beaten by the Saints. They have given away 9 of the last 11 to the Saints. As a Saints fan I'll live with that. Knowing that almost 90% of the time it doesn't matter if the Saints are better or not, they will get the victory because the Falcons will lose it to them.

You know I am being sarcastic. It was hard for me to acknowledge that the Falcons win any game against the Saints on their own merit, but the fact is that if a team plays bad enough or makes too many mistakes to win, they HAVE been beat.

Once again, you know y'all have my respect, but I have never, ever heard from y'all that you got beat by the Saints. It's always that you lost it.
