Saints player takes shot at the Atlanta Falcons on Twitter

The most underrated rivalry in the entire NFL is between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints. Sure, these are two teams that haven’t quite had the combined history of success as the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers rivalry, but that doesn’t mean the fans don’t dislike each other any less.

The Falcons and Saints have a dated rivalry and when they play each other they seemingly always play a close game no matter the state of either team.

Saints’ Cam Jordon takes Twitter shot at the Falcons over Eddie Goldman’s retirement

One of the biggest players in the Falcons, Saints rivalry has always been Cam Jordan. He loves to mess around and poke fun at Atlanta.

This time Jordan took to Twitter to make fun of the fact that Eddie Goldman retired after being a Falcon for 13 days.

Obviously, he is joking, he knows better, at least you hope, that Eddie’s retirement is not because of the fact that he wanted off of the Falcons so quickly.

Goldman is not going to sign a contract with a team and retire just under two weeks later, no way he could make his mind up that quickly. Not to mention the fact that the team hadn’t been together between the time he signed and retired, so how would he be able to know?

Again, to reiterate the point, he is just messing around and adding to the rivalry.

If we are being totally unbiased, he has room to talk. Since joining the NFL in 2011, especially recently, he has dominated the Falcons with 23 sacks in 22 games.

How different those stats would be if the Falcons weren’t starting Kaleb McGary at right tackle over the past few years. Certainly, he would not have nine sacks over the past six games.

So, goal number one for the Atlanta Falcons this year: shut Cameron Jordan up in week one by defeating the Aints and then shoot for the sweep in December. This is a new team and we do not know what to expect, so perhaps we are starting a run of dominating the Saints. Other than a Super Bowl victory, Falcons fans want to dominate New Orleans more than anything.
