WHO DAT? Nation goes into the BIRDCAGE in ATLANTA and hand the DIRTY BIRDS their 1st Home Loss of the SEASON

There is always a mention of a Super Bowl hangover every time the DEFENDING Super Bowl Champs struggle the following season after the SUPER BOWL. The Pittsburgh STEELERS always have that hangover and it's a natural progression for most teams not to have the same season after a SUPER BOWL because TEAMS play at such a high level they don't seem to have enough gas for the next season.

When the SAINTS started off sluggish and TEAMS seemed to have figured out the SEAN PAYTON Scheme on Offense doubters quickly went to the Super Bowl Hangover but guess what?..............the SAINTS went into their rivals house, the BIRDCAGE home of the ATLANTA FALCONS, and held them to 14 points and beat them on a last minute drive. Now getting close to the NFL Playoffs teams want to be playing their best ball and the SAINTS look the part especially their Defense.

Led by Middle Linebacker and CAPTAIN of the SHIP Jonathan VILMA of the U, the SAINTS Defense might have found something and that doesn't bode well for their upcoming opponents. Last Year the SAINTS forced a lot of turnovers why the offense rarely had turnovers......that was the key to their Super Bowl Run in 2010. Now they have got back in sync at the right time the NFC Playoff Teams will take note and they will be a tough out.

Offensively QB Drew BREES did what he had to do and bouncing back from some devastating turnovers to come up big at the end. You would think on this day it would be Falcons QB Matt "MATTY ICE" RYAN that would fill this script but it was MR. BREES.

Now with everyone healthy and ready to make another run.......Coach Sean PAYTON ha to be excited about his chances as no one in the NFC wants these guys........WHO DAT? there gone beat them SAINTS

NOTE****The FALCONS are still in the DRIVER SEAT AS THEY BEAT THE PANTHERS IN WEEK 17 they will be NFC SOUTH Champs and Home Field Advantage throughout the NFC Playoffs. The SAINTS on the other hand have a tough one in Division rival TAMPA BAY and both need to win.

SAINTS are NFC SOUTH CHAPMS with a win and a FALCON LOSS and the BUCCANEERS simply have to win to get in the PLAYOFFS if they don't the door opens for the NY FOOTBALL GIANTS.
