….You’ll get yours.

Got mine at good ol Dicks today! Well I aint reallly crazy bout em, bet Saintsational could of done better but….
Dear Dave,
You are a scholar and a gentleman and I respect ya and feel for ya…like you know we know….yeah you know…
But without a doubt, in so many ways this is our finest hour, Mr Churchill good stuff!

We’ll take the Marques Colston combo with a side of Tracey Porter, please.

Well now…for all the Reggie haters wouldn’t that just be dandy…we lose Reggie to the DB’s and it comes to haunt us! Let’s see I can remember as far back as Al Dodd, I believe he holds the distinction as the first starter Saint to get traded to our hated/beloved/hated Falcon brothers. He was a West Jeff boy if I remember right and went to North Western. Of course Bobby Hebert, Morten Andersen…ok, I’m done without looking….I do not want to see a mature (and healthy) Reggie Bush twice a year for the next 5 years do I?

I urge you all to enjoy this while it’s happening, because success in today’s NFL is rarely a sustained thing. But of course we’d like to be where you are.

Turner’s a maybe. Neither will be 100%.

I don’t think that’s realistic.

That we’re not as terrible as we looked against the Eagles, but a 9-7 season or playoff berth is really what would make the season.

I think we’ve got to draft defense again, address our secondary issues and pick up an impact free agent along the defensive line, if there are going to be any out there. Our offense will, I believe, work itself out, but the D sucks this season.

Though that anger has been conveniently re-directed toward the way the Michael Vick story is being covered. Blergh.

He might come back this week, and we could really use him if he’s able. The thing that really hurt before was that they rushed him back against the Bucs, literally the one team left on our schedule where Turner was not really a vital piece. The coaching staff is really starting to get on my nerves.

I don’t think they’ll cut him, because he’s really a great blocker. If he doesn’t move down the depth chart next season, someone hasn’t been doing their homework.

I’d draft a cornerback first. Our depth chart there is actually pretty deep, but we lack a true #1 corner. Moving everyone down the depth chart one spot would actually improve the unit immensely.

I tried to explain why I felt that way in a post today, and I agree with you. I root for laundry first and foremost, and cheering for a guy who screwed over your franchise just two years earlier and dropped two touchdowns on your team is indefensibly bad.

My dream target would be Joe Harden, the Florida cornerback. I think he could step in and make a huge impact immediately.

But I think Ryan’s just going through some second year growing pains. Both he and Joe Flacco should be fine for the long-term, and I expect Ryan to at least be an above average NFL QB for a decade.

  glad you were able to design my ideas (streetcar & paddlewheeler) , I love them, also #2 with the drum. Hoping Dave can use them!

The biggest knock on Ryan coming out of college was that he threw too many picks and tended to overthrow receivers, and that’s exactly what he’s done in 2009. I’d say it’s a regression or an inability to cope with an expanded playbook, but he’s clearly having a down year. I don’t expect it to be a trend past this year.

I didn’t eat. The smell was revolting, and the constant hectoring shout of “What’ll ya have?” made me want to punch someone.

Seriously, Dave, Atlanta has to come up with a better culinary icon than that place. If I had to choose between lunch at the Varsity and jock itch, I wouldn’t hesitate to go hungry.

1) I think coaching is partly to blame. I think our coordinators have been working with mixed talent, but have also not put their players in the best position to succeed. A good example might be the four straight runs up the middle out of the Wildcat near the goal line yesterday. We didn’t manage to score.

2) I think we’re just playing a harder schedule and dealing with an absurd number of injuries. That’s about it, really.

3) He was made out of cardboard. He has a cardboard girlfriend, a nice cardboard apartment and a cardboard car in Cardboardonia, just outside of Atlanta. The only thing he couldn’t make out of cardboard….was love.

4) I think it’s a regression by Matt Ryan that has really driven this whole thing. He hasn’t been as sharp, the play-calling hasn’t been taking advantage of our weapons and we’ve had injuries, as well. Gonzo’s been great.

5) Injured. The difference between early and the year and now is staggering, and we could be missing 2-3 starters against you guys.

6) He’ll be back. I could see the team trading him for a boatload of picks if they think something’s wrong, but I kind of doubt it.

7) Yes, but I think you’ll torch us too. And we’re going to need Matt Ryan back and healthy.

8) The kind of thing you get when you see a host of designs proclaiming how great the Saints are. See also, attack of the vomits.

9) You know, I’ve thought about that very question. Haven’t come up with my answer yet. Ask me again come playoff time.

10) There’s going to be a bomb planted in your locker room. Ha…ha…ha ha ha!

Seriously, I have no idea what they’ve got up their sleeves, but I’m not extremely optimistic that we’ll stop you dead.

11) Hopefully by blitzing with greater frequency and backing up defensive backs so they’ll be ready to stop the Saints short, instead of catching up to them. It would help to have a floating defensive back who could pick a couple passes.

12) I live waaaaaay up here, so I haven’t and won’t be eating at The Varsity. Someday, though.

But I’m a believer in Mike Smith, if not the coordinators he’s chosen. I think we’ll bounce back next season.

Aren’t necessarily angry at him, but they don’t support him. The past is the past, after all, and a short memory is an advantage for any fan. I think a lot of people were angry on Sunday, not at Vick, but at the fans who placed a jersey number above an entire team.

If you want to know the reason Atlanta’s not regarded as a good football city, that’s probably it.

Always.

The prudent thing might be to bench starters, but I’m a firm believer that you should go out and try to win every game. Losing on purpose sends the wrong message to players and to fans alike in my mind, so even if they could move up a couple spots in the draft with a loss, I’d never root for it. Just ain’t in my nature.

I just watched “The Holy Grail” last night!

And I hope he’s right, because I’d rather not fly off a bridge in the middle of nowhere.

It was pretty heartless. To me, RESPECT is to POO as Payton is to Reid.

 Selling is what the nit wit will be doing to make a living pretty soon. What a doofus! GEAUX SAINTS

But I’m not sure why you’d ever come to Atlanta.

I mean, if you just stay in NO, Young can show you all the good handicap spots to park in and you can audit Professor Vilma’s “How to Fight a Cop 101” class.

when the falcons lose to other teams. Not so much when they lose to the Saints. He has to take his lumps just like we have taken ours. ;)

Good game fellas. Brees is not human.
