New Orleans Saints Vs Atlanta Falcons, one of the NFL's great rivalries on Thanksgiving Night Football (1 Viewer)

[SaintsInDome2006]

In the Louisiana Superdome, for the first time ever the Saints will be playing a home game on Thanksgiving. I will be departing the in-laws and somehow managing to stay upright will be in that number.

The all time record is 51-47 falcs, but the Saints have gone 46-42 since the first 10 and 16-8 under Payton.

****

MVP BREES

Ingram

Kamara

Thomas

TQ Smith

Watson

Kirkwood (yes)

Maybe Marshall 15

Ryan 

Jones

Bama Ridley

GEAUX, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE SHARK POOL!

60 point over under. These teams have better defenses then the Rams & Chiefs, but I'd still bet on the over. The earlier game was 43-37.

Only Baltimore and Cleveland early in the season held NO under 30.

 

[East Coast Bias]

This won't be close.

 

[Osaurus]

Matt Ryan going to be roasted in this one.

 

[ffldrew]

Zeke went for 200+  What will Kamara do?

 

[heckmanm]

Matt Ryan going to be roasted in this one.

As long as he throws for 3 bills and a few scores, I can live with some roasting 

 

[The General]

Ridley or Sanu? Sanu in the slot is supposedly where Saints are a bit vunerable, Ridley went off in last game with Saints.

Both haven’t done anything lately.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Stat on NFLN - this is the 21st game between Brees & Ryan, the most games between opposing QBs since the 1970 merger.

 

[Parmcat]

Any info on Trequon Smith's status will be awesome

This one passes Marino and kelly?

i think I’ve seen that list flashed a few times the past few weeks.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I see, they already passed them.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

One of the NFL's great rivalries? Not sure about that. I'd put the following ahead:

Packers Bears
Packers Vikes
Raiders Broncos
Raiders Chiefs
Giants Cowboys
Redskins Cowboys
Steelers Ravens
Steelers Bengals
Eagles Redskins
Jets Patriots
Packers 49ers

Probably a few more...

It would be great if this game was a barn burner.  Unfortunately, this game will likely be New Orleans stomping a mudhole on Atlanta.

Do huh?

Packers/Bears, Skins/Cowboys, we’ll talk after that.

Good for you.

 

[sho nuff]

Really tempted to put Ridley in hoping for a shootout. 

Still going with Boyd though.

 

[Henry Ford]

 

Packers/49ers? They’ve played each other 20 times in the last quarter century.  That’s less games than Brees has had against Ryan after today. 

 

[The Claymaker]

T Smith and B Marshall both inactive.

Yeah I was iffy on that one. Fair enough.

No question Bears Packers, Redskins Cowboys, Ravens Steelers, Raiders Chiefs.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Damn was hoping for a monster game from T Smith....still going to be a fun game to watch.

 

[Henry Ford]

Yeah I was iffy on that one. Fair enough.

No question Bears Packers, Redskins Cowboys, Ravens Steelers, Raiders Chiefs.

Even if all of those are true...

if it belongs in the conversation for top five, and there are nearly 500 possible team combinations, then it’s one of the great rivalries. 

 

[Henry Ford]

Damn was hoping for a monster game from T Smith....still going to be a fun game to watch.

Can’t decide whether to put Kirkwood in on my team while Cooks is out in his bye.  Think I’ll do it and see what happens.  Someone has to catch the ball other than Thomas, right?

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Kirkwood. Sneaky. A true boom/bust play.

 

[Henry Ford]

Kirkwood. Sneaky. A true boom/bust play.

It’s him or Marques Valdez-Scantling.  Figure what the heck. 

 

[VikingFrog]

Really tempted to put Ridley in hoping for a shootout. 

Still going with Boyd though.

I have Ridley in over Boyd. After getting Zeked... I need the upside of a shootout. 

 

[BigSteelThrill]

It’s him or Marques Valdez-Scantling.  Figure what the heck. 

I have both in.  Rams/Chiefs bye hits me hard, but I'm happy to have multiple players from those teams.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Yowza - miss America runner up got some pipes. Smokin too. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I have Ridley in over Boyd. After getting Zeked... I need the upside of a shootout. 

I’d love Ridley to have a huge night. 

Ingram too.

oh, and Matty Ice. Record breakingly good would be nice. 

 

[The Frankman]

Double Thomas, dare Kirkwood and Kevin Arnold's dad from The Wonder Years to beat you.

I mean they can do that, but at least Thomas doesn't reap your soul.

 

[oswizzle]

U might want to tackle that dude

 

[SoBeDad]

It’s him or Marques Valdez-Scantling.  Figure what the heck. 

MVS had 4 or 5 productive weeks in a row, until last week. More upside than Kirkwood.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Bah, Tommylee Lewis. Just activated off IR.

 

[The Frankman]

Who had Tommylee Lewis on their team?

 

[lod001]

Wide open. That's a phrase you never hear when the Detroit Lions are on offense.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Saint shutting down the run. 

 

[Steeler]

I already like these announcers better than the ESPN guys, man those guys are terrible     

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Ugh. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

With Bryant in the lineup I was thinking “great, 6 or 3!”

 

that was brutal. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Classic jinx job by the booth on that pick lol

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Oh my. Brees had Ingram wide open in the flat but decided to do THAT? 

 

 

[Gachi]

Lulz at them saying how few INTs brees has thrown right before he throws one.

 

[steelwind]

Well ####.  Starting. Matt Ryan was a bad idea this week

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Classic jinx job by the booth on that pick lol

They had the graphic & everything!  

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Well ####.  Starting. Matt Ryan was a bad idea this week

It’s early. 

 

[Tha Guru]

The WR was getting raped on that INT.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

That was PI.

Bold aren't close to the same tier.

Bears Lions would be bigger than those. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Well ####.  Starting. Matt Ryan was a bad idea this week

It's the first quarter

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Ryan has been in the league too long to make this mistakes

Throw the damn ball away
