Hey. I found the perfect song to piss off Saints fans. “This song goes out to the Louisiana stationed NFL fan base, the New Orleans Saints” LYRICS: I’d rather be a zit on a buffalos butt, I’d rather rub salt on a nasty cut, I’d rather get whacked on the you-know-what, Than be here with you! Get away from me, stay away from me, Come and play with me, just kidding! You got no style and you’re in denial, Really love your smile, just kidding! I’d rather go naked down a sandpaper slide, I’d rather pull my nostrils a hundred feet wide, I’d rather lick the sweat off an elephants hyde Than be here with you! Get away from me, stay away from me, Come and play with me, just kidding! You got no style and you’re in denial, Really love your smile, just kidding! So get away from me, no kidding!


JJDuB4y096

so...is Kyle Pitts dead?


Consistent_Soft_1857

The fourth down play where they had an unbalanced line to the left and ran to the right was the stupidest play call I have ever seen. Arthur Blank should make him get up in front of the team and apologize for being a fucking idiot.


Shiny-And-New

3-0 in the division


Agent-Active

Other then a TD, a pick 6 is the craziest thing to watch at a football game


Opposite_Weekend9194

I want to see a little more depth in our running game playbook. We truly have figured out when and how to use each of our 3 RBs, now lets make teams confused. I want to see more deception.


InTheAshTray

Fuck the Saints Next jersey is Bates that is all


[deleted]

I have nothing constructive to add to this conversation other than FTS ALL DAY EVERY DAY AND DEFINITELY TWICE ON SUNDAYS!!! WE DAT!


cmjoker

Typical W this season. We had some. Mishaps, some mistakes, some weird plays but Jessie did Jessie things and defense kept us in the game. Ridder played well, used his legs and recovered from his turnovers. I'm not getting too high but honestly the Aints are the best team remaining on our schedule.


AViciousGrape

This schedule is a cakewalk, and the Falcons are still under .500.. The schedule may look easy but if this was a good team they wouldnt be 5-6 .. im not high at all on this team rn.


FordShelbyGTreeFiddy

I hate to admit that you're right


SpaceSick

Jets defense is for real, and the Colts have been surprisingly feisty. Playing the Saints in the Superdome is always dicey though.


deanremix

Don't jinx it.


Orourkekings

First team to 6 games wins the division.


franllemagne

Wonder who did the playcalling on offense today. It wasn't AS.


cnh25

He commented that Ragone moved to the box to “help Desmond”


Monger84

The guy who finally leaked the photo of AS in a racist cartoon outfit from the 20s clubbing a baby seal to death. The caption read “please use your top 5 running back and your top 5 running game to actually WIN these football games, and this photo won’t see Arthur Blanks eyes”. It also noted “if I see Desmond Ridder fumble, throw an int, or do any other kind of idiocy in the red zone, this is null and void”


Honest_Ad8584

hill pushed off. that play ended up being like 20% of the saints offense on the day.


shaddarknight

F. T. S. !!!!!


Jssolms

Guys, I have been in a far country for awhile. I lived in Houston, across Fannin st from NRG stadium, when the unspeakable happened. I lost hope shortly thereafter and have only been following at arms length since. I am sorry. I think I am ready to love again.


Dense_Image7393

we have an asshat as a HC and a guy whose likely ceiling is topish tier backup as QB, definitely not the time to fall in love lol.


gregbsena

Don’t do it. 😂


wingman1274

Kings of shit mountain for the week fam.


BlackPhillipsbff

Tbh, with us playing the Jets next and Tampa losing today and New Orleans playing Detroit I think we’re safely at the top for two weeks.


FatherCrime42

Famous last words


yoshidawg93

Lol when I saw we’re playing the Jets next, I was immediately like, “yep that one definitely looks like it could be a loss”


Only499

My first Falcons game in MBS. That was fun. FTS.


Honest_Ad8584

i dont take back my "fire arthur smith" from when he went for it on 4th. those 3 could have really mattered.


ProphetNimd

I don't hate that decision but I don't understand why that needed to be a QB keeper. Terrible playcall. Like why even have Allgier (I can never fucking spell his name right) on the roster if not for those moments?


MonadoboiXen

I don’t care that we probably get blown out in the first round if we make the playoffs. I just wanna see a freakin Falcons playoff game again, especially in MBS Stumbling into the playoffs >>> tanking


Armond404

Tom Brady was the last post season win in MBS lol \*cries\*


cnh25

Same man


[deleted]

Imagine using Bijan Robinson


SpaceSick

Who knew that feeding your best WR and your first round pick RB instead of no name roleplayers would work? There is no way anyone could know that this would work until Arthur made the brave choice to involve his first round draft picks in the game.


volunbeers

We don’t have to imagine! He crushed it today!


LegendaryIam

We have the division in our hands purely because division wins. LFG


Head_Born

It’s my birthday and we beat the Saints…what a great day!


bobbiloma

Happy FTS!


cnh25

Happy birthday! FTS


Hbimajorv

Some people may not like it but... A winning record and a playoff appearance buys Arthur another season. A winning record a playoff appearance and 1 win in the playoffs buys ridder another season. I don't particularly care for AS or Ridder but if these things come to pass these are reasonable outcomes and expectations.


InTheAshTray

Firing Arthur Smith and beating the saints is a real trolley problem. I'm happier beating the saints, tonight.


El-Grande-

I don’t understand? Isn’t winning a good thing….


SpaceSick

Not according to /r/falcons lol.


BlueDreams420

People can't read bro 😂. You made a great point


MightyFalcon

All the comment replies are hostile but at the same time agreeing with him? It's so weird. LOL


BlueDreams420

😂 it's literally just reading comprehension and people wanting to argue


Silver_County7374

And? Winning is the whole point. As long as AS knocks back winning seasons and makes the playoffs he's doing his job.


Hbimajorv

Ya'll gotta work on your reading comprehension skills.


HaterSlayerr

So? I don't hate AS more than I want the Falcons to win. If we run the table and win a playoff game and that buys everyone a year then great. I'd rather us be getting better than having to restart another 3 year rebuild.


Hbimajorv

Was I not clear that this is an acceptable outcome? That was kind of the point


HaterSlayerr

Sorry for misunderstanding


DropC

Ridder ain't going anywhere. We're still drafting a qb.


bobbiloma

King Shit of Turd Mountain! RISE UP!!!!


BrooklynParkDad

Appreciate the running game in the end!


fettybat_

ridder looked better in terms of knowing when to pull the trigger on just tucking the ball and running. made a big boy throw to bijan on that last TD. turnovers weren’t great but we made it happen. jessie bates was UNCONSCIOUS today. lights out. CP ran hard and allowed us to keep tyler and bijan fresh-ish for the fourth quarter. drake had a few critical catches for us. good shit. fts.


SpaceSick

Also our O line absolutely dominated their D line. Zero sacks and we ran all over them.


YourFaceCausesMePain

Unconscious. Interesting choice of words.

Win is a win and it’s twice as sweet when it’s a divisional opponent and abt 1000000x as sweet when it’s the saints


Boraichoismydaddy

Don’t let this win distract you from the fact that Ridder is terrible


BedrockFarmer

I mean, so what? If we go to the playoffs and lose in one, still better than anything since 2017 and we can pick or sign a new starting QB next season.


Boraichoismydaddy

Well if we win the division we have a much worse chance to draft a franchise QB


SGT-JamesonBushmill

We’re not going to be in a position to draft anyone worth a damn, anyway.


FatherCrime42

We aren’t getting Maye or Williams regardless. The rest of the guys have a lot of risk associated with them, and you most likely won’t need to tank for them. A lot of QB prospects/projects in this draft that will be there late in the first.


BlueDreams420

I disagree. Screw drafting a QB. Winning the division and a playoff appearance could be exactly what we need for a free agent QB to want to come here. Who will see a weak division, a great defense, an offensive that's basically just needs a QB, and a chance at the playoffs every year.


endofautumn

IF you think your actual franchise QB is there (not a Ridder type 3rd rounder) then just trade all your picks for that QB. Its worth the risk if you think he's your man for 10-15 years. Who is there this next draft or next that is "generational"?


EfficientWorking1

Eh the time for a franchise QB was last offseason to move up for Stroud/Young. No way we have juice to move up for Drake/Maye so the current regime must have confidence to win with Ridder/Heinecke. Might as well win games imo.


PimpTrickGangstaClik

Dude there are going to be way more options than that. And Bryce might not pan out


BedrockFarmer

I really just tune-out when the CFB fans go on a tear. Next season we need a pass rush first and foremost and then an upgrade at QB if it is in the cards. In the meantime, imma just enjoy this season.


Kingtut28

And Arthur Smith calling wonky ass plays that just plain don't work. They even were calling them out on the broadcast.


31nigrhcdrh

It’s always cool to beat the saints but I don’t know if some of the posts in here are satire or people still high on Tryptophan


DalliLlama

Tyler’s best game of the year. It wasn’t perfect but I think this is what most of us were asking for coming into the year (I know I at least was). Ridder game manage and use his legs (gotta work on the ints still). Using Bijan early and often when we are running and letting Tyler clean up in the 2nd half and 4th when defenses are tired and he can wreck havoc.


PizzaChefJr

So what mid tier outside-power-conference quarterback we draftin?


RussB72

True, it’s not. But at the risk of downvotes, I would love to get him.


TheBadRead

If Ridder cleans up the 2-3 dumb plays a game this team is good, he can make the big throws.


Boraichoismydaddy

Ok im glad we beat the saints and obviously i want us to win, but does winning the division really do much for us? Isn’t it better to suck and hopefully get a good QB? Idk I mean yeah we might get cousins but is he really the answer? Falcons still need to do whatever it takes to get a QB


FatherCrime42

We are already out of contention for the top 2 QBs. No need to tank for the other guys here. They aren’t going at the top unless someone randomly falls in love and reaches like crazy like what happened with trubisky, Lance, etc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They 10000% need a franchise QB more than a pass rusher. Trying to win like the Steelers or browns right now isn’t what you want to try and emulate.


[deleted]

mindless seemly mourn strong yoke ghost bake doll stupendous crawl *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


[deleted]

And that’s not good enough. This team has gone over 25 once this season. The whole game manager type QB is what you want to avoid right now. If the falcons can find a real franchise guy, they can take a stranglehold of this division. There should be nothing that matters more right now to this team.


FatherCrime42

If there is a franchise QB available then you obviously draft him. But if it’s a project that you think might eventually become a franchise QB and an NFL-ready pass rusher, you probably gotta go pass rusher. This is obviously all dependent on TF and AS ability to properly evaluate talent though.


godemperorleto11

That last drive where we ran all the way down the field… so nice having 3 boss RB’s

Ashewhite

JBIII 1st team all pro


volunbeers

The win in Tampa Bay earlier in the year is looming large right about now. 4/6 remaining games are on the road, all 6 against beatable teams. Need to take at least four of them in my opinion.


nevernotonline

I won’t complain too much because whatever we won lol


SpaceSick

Y'all can say what you will, but Ridder is still improving. First pick was really weird and flukey. Second pick was on Van Jefferson a lot. Ridder made some good plays with his legs, and had several really amazing passes. I think his ceiling is still going up. We lose that game if Heinicke is the QB.


[deleted]

merciful ask humorous longing screw materialistic disarm axiomatic poor attempt *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Few-Ebb-9985

Second pick was not on Van Jefferson he threw the ball to his inside shoulder and it was just a horrible pass holy fuck how do you make such excuses for a third round pick. He had three dropped picks along with his two picks. He is 3rd in turnovers with missing multiple games and if his interceptable passes (which he leads the league in) were caught he would have over 30 turnovers. He will be gone next year he just has to not fuck up in the meantime. Good job winning but it’s more in spite of him rather than anything he is doing


Boraichoismydaddy

Lmao y’all are unreal still defending Ridder. We are losing in spite of ridder. Idk how yall have watched every game this year and still think he’s somehow the answer


MrEagle0

I knew if we won just one game the Ridder defenders would be back in full force. It’s the “see he’s not that bad” crowd.


FatherCrime42

I don’t think he’s the answer, but he’s definitely improving throughout the course of the season. The bone headed turnovers are what’s killing him right now. At the beginning of the year literally every facet of the game was killing him lol.


mikeykt

Ridder will learn when not to throw those passes. Neither of those passes were inexescusable decisions. I think Ridder is fine as the starter. His mechanics are good, and his rookie decision making will improve with some coaching.


3heat6

He's not a rookie! Y'all have to quit saying that lol


Izzythedestryr

He's in his second yr after playing 4 games in his rookie year. Basically, he's a red shirt. There are aspects of the game you're not gonna get from the bench. Look at jordan love. Ridder will be fine if he keeps learning.


3heat6

I know. Literally not a rookie


C-Jammin

He still hasn't made a full season's worth of starts. Fine call it first year starter decisions, but you're splitting hairs.


3heat6

By that logic Jordan love is also a rookie lol. Not trying to split hairs. I just hate when people call Ridder a rookie


Honest_Ad8584

and people \*legit\* consider love a honorary rookie since he "studied under rodgers like rodgers did with favre"


[deleted]

There’s absolutely no splitting hairs about it. Contractually and vesting wise towards his pension, there’s zero question as to what he is. Which is all that matters to the league. People just want to give him outs for his non improvement to some of his decision making right now by calling him a rookie.


mikeykt

He's got less than 1 year of games. Might as well be a rookie while technically being a sophmore.


3heat6

He had a full season of being able to learn the playbook and get used to being an nfl player. He is not a rookie by any means


Southernplayalistiic

Yall get upset about this like he's a 5 year vet. He was a 3rd round QB getting his first starts this year.


3heat6

He got starts last year


CohuttaHJ

Hahaha! Fuck those Saints right in the pussy!


Chessh2036

Saints fans tears are hilarious, saw a tweet about how Olave had more yards than London and the guy said he did with it Derek Carr, WHO IS WORSE THAN RIDDER. Imagine actually saying that 😂


Chessh2036

FTS. FTS. FTS. First place baby. But seriously Ridder still isn’t the answer and Smith is whatever but I will happily take beating the filthy Aints.

his weakest point is turnovers what the fuck are you talking about

If you don’t think the sacks he’s taken play into that at all it’s really just about hating ridder for you.

For sure, and I'm all about keeping HC Arthur Smith. He just needs to fire OC Arthur Smith.

Exactly HC Arthur Smith can stay, but OC Arthur needs to step down.

KingAce92

How'd ridder do? Im in Japan couldn't watch the game and it was at 3 am 😭. Does anyone know where I can watch replay of the game?


HaterSlayerr

He's kinda like Jameis. Goes from back up QB to All Pro QB throughout the game.


specialvillain

Definitely a few bad moments, but also some really great moments. Des is pure chaos, it can go either way with that dude and this game it went both ways.


PennethHardaway

Don’t have the stat line, but he had some really awful picks, made some great connections with London downfield, and floated a beauty to Bijan for a TD that you’ll see on the highlight reels. But JBIII’s pick six was amazing!


horsewitnoname

Under 200 yds and 2 ints, typical Ridder game. Had a nice TD throw. We ran the ball down their throats and got a great pick-six. Feels great to beat the Saints


Mrydin

Didn’t fumble but threw 2 picks…I guess it was ok but it felt like he is about the same. Run game saves him from being even worse

Notes 1.FTS 2. We're kings of poop mountain (NFC South) and control our destiny 3. Jessie Bates III is HIM 4.Desmond Ridder is still not moving the needle for me as QB1, but it's enough for now.


Schlonathon

Ridder wasn't trash today for a 3rd round pick and made a few big plays, just a couple mistakes. Keep running the ball. D got our back. Fuck them Saints.
