The Atlanta Falcons have never had back-to-back winning seasons...ever. So, I just want nine wins. I don't care about the division or the wild card. Just. Nine. Wins. The problem? That path runs right through New Orleans tonight, and the Saints are playing, lights-out, top-notch, almost perfect football. A win tonight would be huge, but it's not expected. And that's OK, as long as we get to nine somewhere down the line.

UPDATE: Well, we lost. But, damn, did we make it exciting at the end. Not only that, but it seemed as though if we were able to clean up the mistakes, we could have actually WON. There's always next time, though, and it'll be here in the ATL...
It was a thoroughly sad night. I watched the entirety of that game wondering if we'd ever be able to stop the Saints on offense. We managed to do it by the end of the 3rd quarter, but it was (with the addition of the pick on the 2 yard line) a case of too little, too late. There's still hope, though!
