Falcons ticked with Saints for posing on their logo
Former Falcons defensive line coach Bill Johnson posing with some of the Saints on the Falcons logo after Monday Night's game.
The Falcons are ticked off about the Saints posing for pictures on the team’s logo.
Also, Saints defensive end Remi Ayodele told CBSSportsline’s Pete Prisco that he urinated on the Falcons’ logo.
The Saints were celebrating after beating the Falcons 17-14 and securing a spot in the playoffs.
After the game, the Falcons were unaware of the Saints celebration. The team didn’t practice on Tuesday or Wednesday.
However, one team official, did speak with NewOrleans.com’s Brian Allee-Walsh about the Saints’ celebration.
“Believe me, that didn’t go unnoticed, not just by our players and coaches but by our owner (Arthur Blank) and front office people,” the Falcons’ official said. “It did not go unnoticed and it will be remembered.”
Ironically, if the playoffs break a certain way, the Saints could return to the Georgia Dome for a divisional round playoff game.
In order for the Saints and Falcons to have a rematch at the Georgia Dome, the Falcons need to beat Carolina to secure the top seed. The Saints would then have to beat the NFC West winner in the wildcard round to get a return visit to the Georgia Dome.

Kerry, you are a genius. We just increased your crime rate on Monday night. We abused Roddy. We robbed Turner, Brees pulled a scam on your defense that tried to tackle him, and we left a city depressed. Arrest us all. We’ll just plea out.

Funny, you win one SB and suddenly you feel entitled to put yourself up with the likes of NE. Enjoy your one SB because you won’t repeat! We may not make it all the way to the SB, but we’ll sure have fun booting your sorry butts out of the playoffs and watch you pea in your paints instead of our logo!

Instead of working on getting illegals out of the country, maybe we should work on shipping out the leeches that are US Citizens that think everyone is OWED to them. The owner of the Saints wanted to get them out of New Orleans and move them to San Antonio but the NFL wouldn’t have allowed it. I am sure he was hoping to get the Saints out of that city.

Being a Falcon’s or Saints fan aside, to mock the disaster of 2005 is sick. If Remi Ayodele was not being sarcastic and did in fact urinate on your logo, it pales in comparison to the comments I have read about Katrina. NoFanofGeaux, wishing for something like that will bring terrible things on your own head. Don’t f*ck with the gris-gris.

I think it is Mike Smith’s master plan. Saints won’t know what hit them when we play them again. They will be scratching their heads saying” What is this? This isn’t the same team we played on Monday night’” ” I can’t believe they are kicking our behinds like this, didn’t we barely beat them?”

Moral of the story is if the Falcons had a problem with the Saints they should have beat them. As a die hard Falcons fan I say to the Saints that they beat us in our house and we have to take what comes with it. All we do when the spotlight is one is S##T all over overselves anyway so if the Saints did it then they just mixed it with ours. Falcons stop talking and start winning when it matters if you want respect. A couple of years ago nobody talked about the Saints or gave them respect. They went out and took it. It is what it is and I know Falcon fans don’t want to hear it. I hope we wipe the floor with them when they come back to the dome if they come back to the dome. But to talk now is just childish, we are above that.

TO all those who are against anyone saying anything about Katerina and New Orleans, go to Mississippi where they had the DIRECT hit. See how that state rebuilt the gulf coast area. You would never know a storm hit there. Where was all the talk about them? What about the people of Charleston, Miami? You know why you didn’t hear about them? Because they didn’t build it as a race issue. Saying the government didn’t do anything for them because they were poor, welfare black people. That came from the Mayor himself. Yes, it was terrible that people who were too stupid to get out of New Orleans went through what they did, but maybe if their own city and state government had cared, they wouldn’t have had an issue. The best thing for that Mayor is now he can bulldoze the 9th ward and build better housing. They care nothing about their citizen, that’s why they sent the criminals, drug addicts and welfare folk to other cities to get rid of them.

I thought the New Orleans and Drew Brees resurrections were the “good guys finally win” stories of the ’09. But now. after they’ve shown their asses in Atlanta, I’m inclined to believe that Dubya had it right the first time; we should’ve left them to swim in their own feces. Next time, and there will be a next time, they’ll have to clean themselves up. Karma is a bitch that way.

How can Roger Goddell and the NFL get a copy of the CBS Sportsline Report where this SORRY player admitted to doing that? I would hope actions like this would not be condoned by the NFL. This is LEWD behavior and should be punishable!!!!

OK, Lets set the record straight. YOU ATL BULLSH!T FANS !!! You say we barely o=won by 3 but if memory serves me correctly, Ya’ll barely won at all in New Orleans. Not taking away from your lucky win but we should have won the game. We fluked, Ya’ll won. The past game . . . . . ummm even with all the turnovers by the Saints, you still lost. Now as far as the picture on the middle of the field, ok maybe a bit much but you need to stop acting like we crapped on your logo. And as far as not having class . . . . You don’t hear us talking about your city and any disaster that happened related to your city so who are the ones with no class. Secondly to bring up Hurricane Katrina like it is something to make fun of us with shows the level of thought your rudimentary brain operates on. All these comments you soar losers have left show why we are stronger as a city and as fans. You need to focus on your next game and remember this is football, not life, but football. Keep it on the field and don’t stoop down to making such horrific and degrading comments especially since you guys started all this nonsense on twitter and in your newspapers. . . . . . you are making yourselves look bad not us.

Video of the Saints taking their picture on the field. Doesn’t bother me. This is football, not feelingsball. I think the media is just trying to spin it to make it more than it is and to fuel a potential rematch. What makes a better story? Maybe the PA governor was right. Everyone who is whining needs to grow a pair, man up and take the game next time. Go Falcons.

Latest ESPN power rankings. Falcons #2, Saints #4. I just don’t understand their comment that the Saints made a statement in a game they struggle to win by 3 points.

A game that you turn the ball over two times on two straight drives and win by only 3 points is a statement game. I think the Falcons were sand bagging them for next time. The Falcons knew they will win the division and home field when they mop the floor with the Panthers.
