Do the Falcons have a chance again??????
Atlanta Falcons... 7-2 and leading the division.

Can Michael V take them all the way this time?

Can he stay healthy?

Go Birds!

3. I went to The Atlanta Arizona game in September
It was great to see Vick do his thing in person.

The man is not human.

5. As long as their defense keeps them in games, yes.
Plus, Vick is always an X factor in that one never knows what he's going to do on a given play - injuries are your worst nightmare there. You've got solid Running Backs in Dunn and Duckett, who seems to be turning it up at the right time, and Crumpler is the best TE in the game right now. Sure, they could go to another Super Bowl, easy. Incidentally, what Mora is playing with, is Dan Reeves legacy, and he took this franchise to the SB once, so sure, what he had built for them again, could go again.

6. Excellent points. And I still smart over the release of Dan
As long as the defense never goes back to whatever the hell it was when they played the Chiefs (They were rated number 1 defense at that time) there's a good chance IMHO.

7. As a severely in need of counseling Saints Fan
I can, with some deal of confidence, predict that the Falcons will get another W this Sunday. As you cheer on your team, please take a moment and say a little prayer for the sanity of those who pull for a team whose Stadium is on top of a voodoo cemetary.

8. I feel for you. In the games I have seen live (Since Bartkoski)
Every time I went to a game with the Saints, they won.

I bagan to think I was aa Jinx.

But hey, there for a while the Falcons and Saints were the only game in town for the South.

9. My routine is to
go to the game until half time and then walk to the French Quarter and watch it on a large screen in a favorite watering hole. Now thats something Falcons can't do - walk to the French Quarter after a home game. It'll be nice to SEE the Saints on TV this week. The last two weeks have been home games and they have been blacked out for failure to sell out.

11. LOL!!!! God, I hope not.....
But they have made choking into an art form. As an ex Altantan who has steadfastly watched the Falcons with hope against hope for so many years, this is the first year I dare hope they go to the superbowl and at least make a showing.

13. Heh. It may come to a contest between them yet.
I still love the Steelers of the late 70's and early 80's.

14. May the best team win
and I truly, honestly mean that.

If the Steelers are not the best team this season (and they might just prove not to be), then more power to the victor.

15. I'm with you!
Spot on, I'm a fan not a nut.

Me? I'm just hoping for a great SB.
