LIVE from New Orleans, as Falcons go for the upset

If John Abraham is doing this to Drew Brees, the Falcons have a chance against New Orleans. (Curtis Compton/AJC)

NEW ORLEANS –Good morning. I’m looking forward to actually watching some football today since I really didn’t see any last night in Starkville.

The good news for the Falcons is that no matter what happens in today’s game against the New Orleans Saints — and I do believe they have a legitimate chance to win — they will be fine this season. That’s not the case at Georgia, which not only lost last night at Mississippi State but had yet another player — freshman linebacker Demetre Bakerarrested this morning for underage possession of alcohol and DUI. That makes 10 arrests for the Bulldogs since the spring to pair with a 0-3 record in the SEC.

By comparison, the Falcons are Camelot.

There obviously were some good signs in last week’s 41-7 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The Falcons ran the ball effectively, with Jason Snelling having a breakout game (three touchdowns) after Michael Turner left with a groin strain. Quarterback Matt Ryan also was sharp.

But the Saints are at another level. Ryan will face a stronger pass rush and play in a tougher environment in the Superdome than last week.

The biggest step up today must come from the defense. In the first two games, the Falcons faced a third-string quarterback in Pittsburgh (Dennis Dixon) and a last-resort starter against Arizona (Derek Anderson).  Today, the opposing quarterback is the MVP of the Super Bowl, Drew Brees.

The New Orleans offense has not been as explosive as a year ago. The Saints have won their first two games by scores of 14-9 and 25-22. But Brees has completed 74.3 percent of his passes (55 of 74) for 491 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. It’s imperative the Falcons get pressure on him, and that starts with John Abraham.

The lone starters out for the Falcons are wide receiver Michael Jenkins and safety Erik Coleman.

That’s it for now. I’ll check back shortly. How do you feel about the Falcons’ chances today?

Jeff,

Do you think Robinson will have an impact today vs. Brees? These NO/Atl games are historically tight and the Falcons played Brees and company pretty close last year. Just wondering if the adjustments to the defense in the offseason will produce results?

I like college where they watch all the plays in the booth. Pro is a joke making a team risk being right or wrong when the refs should get the call right for the good of the game.

Ok these receivers are going to have to start making some of these catches. That’s four drops already today, Matt is looking good today, but we need to run the ball inside the tackles on this team.

I live in northeast Tennessee, and up until this season Fox has been doing most of the regional NFC games, including the Falcons. But today (and so far this season) there have been NO FALCONS GAMES) in my area, even this, the biggest game of the young season. As a matter of fact, Fox doesn’t even HAVE an NFL game this week; what gives??? Did NFL Sunday Ticket buy up the rights to all the games (’cause if they did there’s no way in BLAZES I’m paying $65 per month just to watch one game per week; I love my Falcons, but I’m not made of money)? Or has the NFL somehow been trying to circumvent the onset of declining attendance (and more and more HDTVs in living rooms) by limiting local coverage?

Anybody with some insight to offer here? Because I am royally TICKED OFF that I’m missing this game.

we need to draft a new speedy back next year when you have 2 power backs there is almost no change of pace between them. turner was good when norwood was healthy and that was only like half a year. turner and snelling could only get by adding a new speedy back to make an even better 3 headed monster than what dallas has

Spoon missed a pick by half an inch, and then came back and made a great hustle play to take the receiver down in bounds so the clock could run out. The Falcons will not be denied today. Other than two big plays, and two breakdowns on defense, N.O has not moved the ball at all. And their defense hasn’t stopped us yet, we shot ourselves in the foot on a couple of drives. who dat? WE DAT!

Dan Mullen

GTMustang Vick also has Wins over the Saints on his sheet also, don’t forget a trip to the NFC Championship game, Vick will beat the falcons in a couple of weeks.

I like coach Smith’s strategy. Kicking field goals and punting to give the ball back to the Saints offense is not going to win this game. Gotta hold on to the ball as much as possible and grind out first downs. Keep this game as low scoring as possible. If you don’t make it on fourth down, at least they tried and gave their offense a chance to stay on the field to score.

I’m dying here . . ..all week long Direct TV and Comcast both had Falcons-Saints scheduled down here in Boca Raton, FL . . . .very excited as no Package this year! Problem is . . ..they pulled the old Bait and Switch (for a Falcon and Saint fan at least) and now Fox has Cowboys-Texans:( Tried to get a live stream site . . .but it’s not going through due to some PC systems issues:(:( But listening to the radio and reading posts from you all!! Well . . . .7 should have happened there . . …but gotta take the 3 points this time for a lead. Still . . . .against the Saints . . . hate to leave 4 extra points off the board. Again . …we are winning for now . . .that’s what matters . . for now!

A three and out here would be excellent. Get the Falcons offense back on the field and chew more clock, score a TD and make it a 2 possession game with time running out for the Saints.

This is a big defensive series coming up here.

the good news is that the Saints are only scoring when they have excellent field position. Falcons almost denied the Saints a touchdown for two quarters – none in the 2nd quarter, made their last one in the last 4 seconds of the third. Atlanta is out-playing them and will continue to do so. Saints defense has to be exhausted by now.

It’s inconceivable to give up two td’s on a punt return and muffed punt (when jack a!! wasn’t even paying attention). Just sorry attention to detail. Have to score a TD or this one is done. By the way, where the he!! is Jason Snelling. It’s obvious that Turner is a step slow hitting the holes and is looking more like a short yardage back.

This is one of the best overall efforts I’ve seen from the Falcons in YEARS. The offense is not only dominating time of possession, but they’re putting points on the board too. Likewise, the defense has forced both turnovers and punts, something I’m not accustomed to seeing from my favorite college team. (Go Jackets!)

How can you call yourself elite when you have zero imagination with your offense. It’ fine to keep hitting those runs for a few series, but you have to keep the defense honest and stretch the field. That last offensive series was WAY TOO CONSERVATIVE. To be a Champion, you have to go for the kill.

20/20 maybe the Falcons should have tried the FG at the other end on the last drive.

Go figure that the no go on 4th down in the first game contributed to the lose, and the choice to go for it on 4th (or rather the bad play calling on 3rd and 4th down) will contribute to the loss (if there is one).
