Saints 26 @ Falcons 23: Prediction Results and Voting

by Saintsational on Dec 15, 2009 4:00 PM CST Comment 16 comments

Here is round two of our prediction results and voting, this time for the Saints most recent game against the Falcons.

Like last week there was no one who nailed all three and nobody who accurately predicted the final score. I will give credit to Dave the Falconer who was probably closest with a guess of Saints 27 - Falcons 24. Brees missing the 300-yard mark by 4 yards really screwed up a lot of people.

Go forth and vote!

Generally vague

I’ve noticed many of recent winners have posted vague generalizations as predictions. Such as, Saints win turnover battle-ooh scary with a 50/50 chance of hitting.

Come on guys and gals, challenge yourself to be specific. Reach for that Golden Ring. Don’t cut down the post and guess that the ring will hit the ground.

I mean

Yeah I didn’t get any correct, but oh so close on two. Reggie’s punt return fell just two yards short (by the way-thanks for hopping out of bounds Reg). And Colston had more RECs but four yards less. The safety was a reach but at least it’s a reach, know what I mean?

Whoa...

…I hadn’t even reviewed this…I got two right, and that’s good enough for an “honorable mention”?

Can I vote for me, or is that bad form?

;-)

Irony: An atheist Saints fan.

Thank you....

I was looking for that information since I don’t have the weird watch it once a year channel. Its a crime for the NFL to have people cover a game nationally when only about 10 – 20 % of people even have that channel. It would be like WWL being the only channel to cover the world series. I’m glad there’s going to be local coverage of the game. They probably do a better job than Fox, as the signal always locks up half way though some really important review or replay.

Any idea who will be the announcers?

Here's to a fresh Brees blowing in NOLA!!!
