You're on super troll this week and getting immensely annoying. Here's the most troll-er-rific thing you have said.

"A loss can affect the mindset of a team in what they envision as a huge game."

For someone who says they watch all of our games to get an understanding of the Falcons, you sure did miss on this one. If it isn't clear that we are a resilient team, then youu should reevaluate how you evaluate the Falcons.

I think the bias is strong in this one.

Jedi, I like you, but if injuries make you "lose your patience" with this team, you have a problem my friend.
Every team has injuries. Teams have 52 players on the roster. Every injury has a 1/26 chance of being the "best" player on one side of the ball or the other.

This game is not worth further injuring a key player needed in January. I guarantee the team feels confident we can win with the roster we are sending to the Katrina-Dome. I feel confident too. You should as well.

Nolan knows what he is doing, and I trust him and Smitty to put the pieces we have on the chess board in positions to give us an advantage.

Chill man.

Smith has been bull shitting the last 2 weeks and he came out and admitted it on AJC.

He said playing Sean these last 2 weeks would have been a real push, and whilst he is up and moving as you saw last week on the sidelines. He felt giving him. 1more week to be ready and back at his best is what was needed. You should feel happy our team is that confident to leave him out and not put him in there. This isn't BVG running things it's Mike Nolan, and that's a big difference.

Dent at the start of this year looked lost but these last two weeks give him his props he has definitely turned and started moving up.

As others have said we'd rather have Sean back and playing healthy than playing on an injury that never really gets right.

It might be worth nothing to you but Smith hasn't been that clear on an injury for a while. And whilst it may still be gamesmanship for next week Sean will play again this season no doubt otherwise he'd be put on IR.

This team is all in to win, but be realistic every team has injuries to key personnel some deal with them differently. Our FO is one of the most scientifically advanced staff in the NFL, I wouldn't be surprised if the same software they use on place in individual work outs is used in rehab, with some sort of baseline that is tailored to that individuals optimum performance giving a requirement for a minimum level achieved before they can go back to the on field practice regimen.

And as for you Guido, the same Bronco offense we beat the breaks off of is the same offense that snapped your last recovery streak, and yeah your offense may be out there passing a lot, but in order to do that they need the ball back. You should be prepared to see your team get a slow beating to death on Sunday. Atlanta are one of the NFLs best teams at controlling the pace of the game because we have an offense that can score slow or score fast and the defense will let you eat up clock and then clamp down or send you off the field straight away.

New Orleans Defense is porous. That is not going to help you win. If Atlanta win the toss they will quick strike a few downs on your defense, settle in for some longer sets of downs move up the field eat up the clock then score. New Orleans will try and respond the run will get stuffed and you get 2 sets of first down but ultimately you come off empty handed. The next Atlanta drive will come off the same. You'll come away with a field goal, the third drives an Atlanta field goal a saints touch down. 4th drive Atlanta touch down comes quick saints field goal. After that it will never really matter. We'll keep it close by not being assholes and running up the score but top of 3 rd quarter I see this being a wrap. Why? Because your team cannot stop our offense and your offense whilst scoring cannot play defense for you, and they are going up against a defense who has allowed 18 points a game against teams who are far more balanced.

You lot are about to get the same treatment the Broncos gave you.

And if you think the game plan that was used on Vick would work on Ryan and Atlanta's offense you are in for a rude awakening.

Yes. Meanwhile, the Saints have been knocking off offensive and defensive powerhouses like San Diego, Tampa Bay and Philly.



Two of your wins are against teams we've played, and beaten (in the case of San Diego, much more handily than you did). More to the point, ALL of your losses except Green Bay were against teams we beat.

P.S., we're ranked ahead of you offensively where it counts -- total points scored. And we have a defense.

Hang on, has this one been used yet?

Let's see how resilient they actually are when faced with the adversity of a loss in a big game. Who knows, they may come through with flying colors, or they might become distracted and overlook the team they are facing the next week. That is a wait and see. You may be right.

None of this is trollish and not far off how y'all surmised the Saints would handle their adversity.

Bucs fan say what?

When these two teams meet you can throw a lot of those numbers right out the window. Besides, the Saints looked awful in week one facing RGIII. They looked almost as bad in week two, but there was improvement. Each week the improvement has been marked. While the defense has given up yardage they have actually looked quite solid in the redzone. This week will be the first week that all three top LB's will be healthy and starting. Having Vilma, Lofton and Hawthorne on the field at the same time should toughen up the run defense a good deal.

Us listening to you about how good your defense actually is is like listening to you say that Vikma is innocent.

Considering that Vilma IS innocent should give credence to the fact that while the defense is by no means good, it has shown improvement each and every week and should be at full strength for the first time all season.
