jsevier Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I am rooting for the Saints all the way. A win would go a little way in releasing my tention from the Giants getting a 9th home game last year. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxSpearheadxX Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I can't wait, one of the most exciting defensive players in Deangelo Hall against one of the most exciting players period in Reggie Bush, as well as the Michael Vick Experience? Next to the skins blowing out the pokes, this is the next best thing for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrimmage Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The MAIN thing I'm looking forward to in this game is knowing that the Skins coaches also will be watching this game closely. We play both teams within the span of a month starting in November. Kind of a coach mojo thing. Financially, I'm hoping for the Saints to win for office pool purposes. I picked the Saints to win over the rushing attack of Dunn-Norwood-Vick primarily based on what I have learned is the "Wellington Mara Factor". With enough emotional intensity, a home team can shut out an otherwise evenly matched visiting opponent from the same division. Plus, I'm so pleased that the Skins have changed the direction of the inertia that I can relax when I'm watching football again. I have tickets to the Skins-Falcons game (Dec. 2? 3?) at the 50 yard line in the upper deck, so I need to send out negative karma now. John Abraham LIT UP the Falcons defense against the Panthers and started their death slide. New blood with energy will do that (see, for example, the outstanding play of Golston and Montgomery). Fortunately, our new blood is not as injury prone as Abraham. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespaniard Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'll be rooting for the saints too A lot of talk surrounding this game deals with the emotion of the night (as it should) and the Vick vs Bush angle. But what gets lost sometimes is what huge rivals these teams are(Although Pasquarelli I believe called it the most underrated rivalry in an earlier article this year). They came into the league together (Falcons in '66, Saints in '67) have been in the same division since 1970. They both have been pretty bad teams throughout the years, and the games were usually to salvage any threads of respectability for the season. I know it sounds dumb, but ask any fan of either team and they will tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still alright, exciting anyway. I'm glad they killed off that lawyer girl. I was getting sick of that plotline. Will be interesting to see how many more seasons they can milk out of this concept though. I recall hearing the series was scheduled for 3 years... /endhijack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPM285181 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Id like to see the Saints win they seem to be one of those cursed franchises and their loyal fans deserve some success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysonx Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I hope Reggie Bush rushes for over 100 yards tonight. Definitly going to be a game to watch. I work with a huge Saints fan and I think he got taken back a little today when I told him that I am pullin for them. I feel no shame rootin for them tonight - especially when they are playing Atlanta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1SkinsFan Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I agree with you. I will be pulling for the Saints from class. At least until the end of the first half. I'll be pulling for them the whole game! After everything they've been through, they deserve every last bit of this game which they should hold on and win.

I was looking forward to watching Hall as well. I turned the game on late only to find he was injured, bummer. The dome is a rockin' and the Saints aren't playin' like the Aints!
