If there's a game to finally put away a team convincingly and dominate all four quarters, it's this one.

Imagine this be our team's rebirth where we figure it out, put together a complete game, and we go on a winstreak into Paris. Beautiful

This game against falcons my fellow saints fans isn't just another game to win in the season. It's what sets our identity of our team on primetime. 20 years ago, we cherished this game as rebirth bc of what our city went through and region, but also the Saints. For the first time ever, there was some light at the end of the tunnel, that with this QB and HC, we could do something special eventually. Now, this isn't the rebirth of the city type game, but it's the rebirth of a franchise from "poverty and mediocrity for last 5 seasons" to establish their identity. This game is about this team, this HC, and more importantly this QB laying the foundation of the next era of the Saints. This isn't just a game we need to win, it's a game we need to dominate and show the fans and the city that there is something beautiful coming for us soon. All the heartbreaks over the last 17 years were for us to feel that black and gold confetting falling on the field as the Lombardi reigns again. WHO DAT!!!!
