I agree with most of your points (I'd be stupid not to, lol) but I've got to add my two cents again. The Saints/Falcons were not contenders in yesteryear (do you have to be contenders to have a heated rilvary?) but there are none that are more heated than these two. I've been in the Dome for several of these games and I know well the friction that takes place. Add in the fact that the Falcons have made a living out of picking off Saints FA's over the years and you'll understand some of the emotions.
