Was really impressed with the great job the secondary did Hill, Grimes, Jackson and Houston. At no time we’re Saints WR’s open. Colston and Shockey made big plays but I thought the coverage was solid!

Great job Falcons! The refs called a very poor game that cost Atlanta Big Time!

I’m disappointed by the uneducated idiot fans ripping on Matt Ryan. After he wins a Super Bowl for the Falcons, I want those idiots to chime in then! (Knuckleheads like that seem to get lost!)

GO FALCONS!!!

I agree with Alloy505 regarding Michael Jenkins! He signed that contract extension and has GONE SOFT!! Why! He will fast become a liability if he continues to play like this, if he isn’t a liability already. And why can’t we use him and his ‘6 ‘4” size like the Saints use Colston?? That Jenkins dropped ball was HUGE and I also believe it cost us that game.

For many years I traveled from Chattanooga to ATL and have been & remain a long suffering (not fair weather) Falcons fan, as also Saints fans have been for many years. I owned season tickets, there were numerous games where defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory, the long miserable drive back home…. finally my wife asked me why I wasted my time AND my money… So, having watched many of those years when neither team had anything to cheer about, its great to see the rivalry step it up to primetime.

Matt Ryan is 24. nuff said. hes not a beast yet but hes playing better than most of the beasts in the Nfl during their sophomore years and most didnt even play. matt shouldnt even be blamed for all these picks, he gives us a chance and by the way arm strength increases with time.. i want to blame the rb’s but it wouldnt be fare coz their hurt. they needed to step up and mike turner did however the saint are undefeated 4 a reason. our perfomance monday was not disappointing. drew brees didnt put up 400+yards like another game i remember. im sure we couldve beat all the other teams weve played if we used the same principles we did against the saints.

Stop Whining about the non call on the interception by Jabari Greer. The push off by Roddy White was far more obvious. Let’s not mention all of the holding calls and chop blocks that the Falcons have become so well known for. The bottom line is that the better team won. Michael Turner is a BEAST and Matt Ryan hung in no matter how tough things got. They put themselves in position to win the game but came up short. THE END

Can you give an update on Curtis Lofton’s knee, please? Curtis is a warrior, but I hope he is smart about that injury and and wish him a speedy but also full recovery.

falcons will finish 7-2 and go 11-5 for the year. They will be the favorite in the 7 games they win.

Bottom line is wev’e become a victim of our success. The falcons went 11 – 5 with a rookie quaterback. Being that said , Mike Mularky should have reign Matty Ice in. Some of those passes we threw in the red zone, should have been running plays to Turner. He was the hot player with a 150 yards. I know the Saints got pressure on Ryan. But did you see any screen plays to off set the Saints pass rush. I know Tony Gonzales made plays in that game, But you know the Saints were going to double team him at some point. We have alot of weapons on our team, But you have to use other guys like Finneran and Aaron Stecker to make plays down the stretch. The falcons offensive coordinater does a good job calling the plays. But sometimes I think- he out thinks himself in the second half of these games. I don’t know about you guys, But I don’t want Matty Ice throwing the ball fifty times in any game…….

Ryan is a good QB…but R. White & A. Jenkins are SO inconsistent…White must have paid that ref for the “TD” call that was reversed…juggling is NOT a TD…and then to shove Greer away on that bomb…must have been the same ref….the refs were about consistent as the Falcon WR’s…looks like Turner got a paycheck on Sunday…and what a great kicker y’all got…NOT….Elam’s washed up….and so are y’alls hopes for an upset…be back next week after y’all are scalped by the ‘Skins…chow…

Was it my imagination or did the refs give all the calls to the Saints? In the 4th quarter when Roddy White almost made the catch to put us ahead he was clearly interfered on and no call. And he was interfered with again earlier in the game. And the Mike Peterson call on Reggie Bush was a joke. I don’t know who’s worse the NFL or SEC refs.
