@FrontRow
I think some folks are just getting sick of the blaming Obama for the current mess.
While the Obama administration has resembled a lost elderly person in a crowded mall parking lot, Dubyah really is the one to blame for most of this s***.
Of course, blaming folks won’t bring jobs to the country.

Bush helped the current democrat congress make the mess and Obama has done very little to help clean it up. Matter of fact, he is making it worse. Its sad when Dem start running ads saying they sided with Bush on certain issues.

It is funny that everyone wants to blame Bush for everything. The state of the economy isn’t his fault. Just like it wasn’t Clinton’s genius that made it great. During Clinton’s tenure there were huge technological advances that created jobs, taxes, investment opportunities, etc. During Bush’s administration we were going through the maturing phase of this technological boom that made the economy so great. Instead of technology creating jobs it started destroying certain industries. This created a domino effect sending the economy into a downward spiral. Americans in no way were prepared for this because of the idiotic practices of savings to debt. It’s not going to be Obama’s fault for fixing or further hurting the economy.

That’s good new, tks for the heads-up. So the media is finally going to show more than the final fg kicks? They really got caught unprepared when the Falcons won, they totally didn’t expect it, had all their stuff ready to glorify the Saints, along with the Brees special. And in 75 mins: great!

I would normally agree with you. But the Niners aren’t even going to give us a good game. The only thing to hope for out of this game is not having any serious injuries. Matt Ryan doesn’t lose in the dome. So he definitely won’t lose to a bad team in the dome. Our defense is top 5!!!!!

The fact of the matter: The Falcons SHOULD have lost this game. Only a big time blown field goal allowed them the chance for score their final points. Maybe it is because Falcons fans are so starved for a winner that a fluke victory is enough to cause them to lose their minds. Ok, I’m glad the Falcons won, but I’m not deceived. The Falcons really haven’t proved all that much, yet. They didn’t lose, yes. But are they destined to be, say, 12-4? I don’t think so, not by what I’ve seen so far.

Wow GwinnettDad. What a buzz-killer! The game I saw had the Falcons physically kicking the Saints butts all over the field, while conversely, the Saints made some good skill plays that made the game close. There were about equal number of blunders on both sides (missed field goal, the punt hitting the foot,etc) to make the game close. IT WAS A VERY CLOSE GAME, LEGITIMATELY. So I don’t think one can say the Falcons didn’t deserve to win. They won a very, very good close game. (Look at it this way, IF the ball had not hit the foot on the punt, it probably would not have gone to O.T…………………..if IF’s and BUT’s were candy and nuts, we could all have a great party.)

Falcon Jim, pretend that we’ve been there before, OK? Oh, and I’m real sorry if I some how debuzzed your buzz. Depending upon the other team missing a field goal does not make a Super Bowl champion. Total yards were 417-398 for the Falcons, Drew Brees was 30-38 with a QB rating of 111, better than Ryan’s 108 (still good). If this is your example of “kicking butt,” then nothing I can say will change the dreamworld from where you come.

No you just CONFIRMED what I said. READ WHAT I SAID. It was a close game. Real close. I think the Falcons were more physical, offset by some good skill plays by the Saints. “buzzkill” is just metaphorical…………I’m not smoking anything……………

GwinnettDad, only sees the bad…
After the missed FG, the Saints defense had 9 opportunities to stuff the Falcons and get the ball back. If the Falcons were as incompetent as you seem to think they are, then, they never would have gotten in field goal range to win the game anyway. The Saints missed FG didn’t end the game.
All summer long, all I heard about the Saints was, “best offense in the NFL and now their defense is much improved.” Yet, Atlanta won in the Saints house, because their D couldn’t get it done when they needed it the most.

Be sure to tape the replay tonight. Falcon Fans love to celebrate REGULAR season wins. I guess it’s because when it comes to winning in the post season there’s not much to celebrate. NO Super Bowl wins. Too bad.

The Falcons have no past, present, or future. Except losing. Wait, they did have back to back winning seasons last year. That was the first time in NFL that has been done. I’m sorry the Falcons are the greatest them ever. They will win the next 10 Super Bowls. Only in dreamland.
