We’re back for another edition of Falcons vs. Saints this Sunday, which fills me with considerable apprehension. The drubbing Atlanta suffered last time out simply can’t be repeated, for the sake of our sanity and because it will make Sean Payton 1% more smug, which is intolerable.
A win here would lift the Falcons to 5-7 with a murderer’s row of opponents still to come, which means it’s unlikely to be a transformative win. It would, however, make us happy and slightly dent the chances of New Orleans getting the top seed in the NFC, which would make it incredibly worthwhile.
