I decided to go ahead and create the thread for tonight's game, with about 4 hours til kickoff.
Best TNF game of the year, huge game, great rivalry, big playoff implications. Especially big for the Falcons.
Who wins it?

Any significant injuries on either team? I haven't paid attention.

Gonna say Saints. I like how their running game can control the flow of the game. It's not all on Brees' shoulders, though it's nice to have a future HOF'er there just in case. Falcons while good at times are overrated.

No, no huge injuries, both teams are very healthy, only major player that was questionable was Mark Ingram and it looks like he will play. I think the Falcons can pull this one out, the Saints defense is iffy, everytime they play a top tier QB they give up a ton of yards, Falcons need to let Matt Ryan air it out tonight and get a couple of big plays on defense and they will win. |

I remember when neither team existed.

Both teams have nice drives that stall in the red zone and end in FG's, 3-3 tie now. Falcons need to pass more, they got a big Ryan to Julio completion on the first drive but they need to really attack through the air.
Where is eveyrone else, huge game, no one here talking about it.

I have it on, but for some reason I'm barely paying attention. Maybe it's the ugly uniforms.
We have some snow here, which is a shock. Was 85 degrees a few days ago.

I'm feeling that Atlanta is playing with a lot of poise. The defense is doing well, Julio Jones got some good plays, other receivers are stepping up too...
I feel that we'll win this game.

Nice drive underway here, it's great to see them letting Matt Ryan spread it around and utilize their passing game, the Saints pass defense can be exposed, good play calling overall. I want to see a TD here, this is very nerve wracking.

That was awful defense. That's what's so fucking frustrating about the Falcons, they can never get a big lead or put teams away, when they do something on offense they always seem to let their opponent respond.

I hate 3-man rushes. I don't care how many men you drop into coverage, if you give Brees time, he'll kill you. |

What a wild second quarter end! Both teams made mistakes that prevented them from scoring in the last few seconds, so the game remained tied at 10-10, great game.
