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.

Remi said that tongue in cheek you morons. It’s a picture in front of the logo, No one stomped on the logo, no one urinated on the logo. Quit making stuff up a-hole fans. Chill the frick out you moronic Failclowns’ fans. Act like you deserve the fine team that you have this year. If a fan base gets the team it deserves, Atlanta should be 0-15 right now.

Alex, have some egg nog and go take a nap. Minus the 2 turnovers by the Falcons and the Falcons win. You barely won by 3. What blueprint? The only blueprint I see is to blitz Brees to create “Favre-like” turnovers. He has 21 picks this year and the most tipped passes in the NFL. There’s your blueprint.

Im a Katrina surviver…negative comments like Katrina2 and all that are really uncall for…hope Atlanta never have to go through what we did. We’re Americans first and football fans second. Southern folks always have a brotherhood thing going for eac hother..i’ll always belive that.

WHERE IS THE NFL CONDUCT POLICY WHEN IT COUNTS. Pieces of filth like Ayodele should be banned for life and have their butts spanked with barbed wire. He disrespected the entire city. Does he not know that something like that could incite a backlash of violence against people from New Orleans living in Atlanta.

FALCLOWNS comments are a joke. Accept the loss and move on. We won…you did not. And, you will be one and done in the playoffs. You got exposed by the World Champs. Should not be a surprise. And, taking stabs at the city of New Orleans is hysterical. How desperate are you? Kiss the ring, losers…..

What do you expect from a team that comes from a city that 50% of it’s population is on welfare. What do you expect from a team from a city where their residents were bused out to other states, never to return.
It is fine, we will take it out on them in 3 weeks, IF they can beat either St. Louis or Seattle, which may be hard for them considering their losses to Arizona and Cleveland.

Falcons need to focus on carolina. The Falcons are earning the right to have home field advantage.Coach Smith said you get what you earned. I want to beat the saints any time but falcons have to focus on the next game and secure that first home game by beating the panthers. Falcons, fans, city, should not get caught up in other teams.Have the passion in the dome sunday for your falcons and everything will be in place. first round bye, one week off to rest players from a long year, home field game and a lot off red and black.

Does this mean Arthur is going to crack some heads? Will the Falcons actually get nasty and beat up the Aints should they meet again? I many of you may think I’m being facetious, but I’m serious. Falcons MUST protect their house!!!

To all Saints players, coaches, and fans, mark my words, we will play you in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, and i can promise you that this act will not be forgotten… In the words of the boxing great Joe Fraiser ” A true champion is not measured in how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up…” I cannot wait.

This would have been over and we could move on except for some ghetto garbage with a uniform bragging about pissing on our freakin’ logo. I wish I would see Mr. Ayodele in person to tell him what I truly think.

Alex, the Aints didn’t provide a blueprint for the rest of the league. Do you think the Aints are the only team to shut down our run? Make us have to pass underneath? Um, Pittsburgh sound familiar? No every team has the personnel to stop us and the coaching staff will make adjustments. Also, since when does the fans have anything to worry about…like we play the game? Try a little common sense next time ok?

Keep thinking you have a championship team, failcant fans….rise up? Sure, you did a great job of that on MNF. That pathetic slogan is more suited for a Viagara commercial. All you got is “wait until we play you again”….given you are one and done, we won’t see a rematch, unfortunately…..Stay classy, hicks….

Evidently you don’t understand, it’s the SAINTS that must win their first round game to come back to Atlanta and play in the second round, after the NFC#1 team gets the bye week.

OMG people how childish of u to get all burnt up over a pic or over what someone said who gives a rats a.. nothing we say or do as fans will change the outcome of the game, these players will get paid regardless of how much we go to games or watch them, im a Saints fan but not funatic if they win im happy if they dont o well u cant when them all there is no team in the NFL without a loss so all this back in forth about who city sucs is just plain stupid bc for one thing none of us are not on the field, honestly the only people that can talk trash are the players and rightfully so because they have to go play and back the trash talking up.. We both have great teams this year so of course its going to always come down to the wire that just shows you how much respect they have for each other…perfect example when the games are over what do the players do normally they meet in the middle of the field, shake hands and wish each other good luck on the next game.. why we as fans cant do the same thing…Grow up people this goes for both Saints and Falcon fans..The Real Sports fans will fill where im coming from if you dont o well….

@ mr phil – I bet Remi would love to meet up with you….get a life and isn’t your shift starting at the peanut farm? Pls sign off the computer at the local Hicksville library and get ready for work. I can’t believe a bunch of Ga hicks actually think they are superior to New Orleans. How delusional are you? You should see the real dr phil. Saints fans are so inside your head and you are so easily tweaked, it is comical….along with your hollow dream of winning a SB….

I’m hoping and praying that the Falcon make it to the SB in Dallas. The only thing better than giving Brookings front row seats at his home field would be to leave tickets at the ‘WILL CALL’ for the ain’ts.

Being an Atlanta Saints fan (I was raised in Louisiana before moving to Atlanta), I am deeply offended by the Saint’s celebration. Traditionally, although loud Saints fans and the team behave whether in New Orleans and welcoming visitors to the City and Superdome or visiting other teams in their venues. No team should disrespect another team’s emblem regardless of the rivalry. So, apoligies to the Falcons and their fans.
But if we return in about three weeks to the Georgia Dome,
GEAUX SAINTS GEAUX!

I thought the pleasure of beating the dirty pigeons on MNF was satisfying, but tweaking the Falcants fans via this blog on my vacation is pretty good too….what a bunch of puppets….keep bragging about being a good REGULAR season team….you have earned NOTHING yet, but feel like you DESERVE everything, which is delusional and comical….when you get the ring and hoist the Lombardi, you can smack talk….until then, ssshhhh, you are nothing more than embarrassing hicks….stay classy….
