Falcons Fall to Saints

Found November 14, 2011 on The Bird Cage:
TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons

Another Big Loss (C.Compton/AJC) Will be back with a much more in-depth analysis and post about the game, but wanted to let all The Bird Cage faithful get their venting out. The Falcons lost to the Saints at home AGAIN and this brings back all the worries that this team just isn’t elite, no matter how you slice it. The Falcons haven’t had a big win over an elite opponent feeling like ages now. How good really is this team when you lose 4 games to legit teams and only can manage to beat the decent and below average teams? Back with much more breakdown of the game that was, but now it’s your turn to talk about the huge loss to the Saints………..
