PSA: Since '08, NFC Team that Knocks ATL out of Playoffs = SB Berth

[UNCrules2187]

Every NFC team that has knocked the Falcons out of the playoffs has at least advanced to the Super Bowl:

 

2008: Arizona (L)

2010: Green Bay (W)

2011: New York Giants (W)

2012: San Francisco (L)

 

The 2014 season finale was essentially a playoff game (win or go home)...

isn't that "blurring" the line ?

We beat the Saints in the season finale the year they won the Super Bowl...so, did we really win the Super Bowl? Mind...blown. 

 

 

 

But hey, sure, I'll take whatever weird coincidence we can get.

When you enter the playoffs at 7-8-1, every little bit of optimism counts

This is why I love sports stats.

 

 

You can make something out of nothing.

Dude, havent you ever heard of not talking to the pitcher who is pitching a perfect game?

[PhillyB]

why are you asshats asking questions? when lady destiny starts unzipping your pants you don't complain that she's moving too fast.

[j2sgam]

I was going to say we couldnt have knocked them out as they were never in, but PhillyB's post makes too much sense for me to contradict myself like that....

[hepcat]

Yea we said that last year too.  Except it was the team that beat Atlanta last made it to the Superbowl.  We didn't make it last year.

Another playoff stat: Every time the Panthers has won a playoff game, they end up in the NFC Conference Championship
