It's hard. I know.

But sadly, our shot at the playoffs is better if Atlanta wins and the Cowboys lose. Makes our WC chances better.

I don't think so. Falcons have a better shot at competing for a WC than the Cowboys. Cowboys have a tough schedule without Zeke. Nobody should be rooting for Atlanta today.

The thing is.. Falcons play a lot of other teams competing for the wild card, so if they somehow go on a big run, chances are they're knocking another team out.

Now we see why Jerry is pushing hard in favor of Zeke...they NEED him...

Atlanta dont need to get hot

[Randolph Panther]

Looking at those standings we damn sure better win tomorrow night.  And the Jets.  We fuged up in Chicago so we cant afford another one.

What is the floor for a wildcard? 10-6 or 11-5

I don't agree at all.  Every year we see these halfway thru the season playoff chance comments, and they almost always turn out to be wrong.  With Elliot out, the Cowboys could easily go on a five game losing streak, and not even be in consideration when the playoffs roll around.  And we are a half game out of first if we win tomorrow.   I don't care how dominant the Saints looked today, that can change in one week.  Our best chance at the playoffs is to win the division.  Atlanta losing helps that.  Dallas losing does not.  Wildcard only comes into play if we are actually eliminated.  

 

Although at this point, looks like a moot point since Dallas looks like they couldn't beat the Giants today.

Suddenly Falcons are back in the playoffs race if they win this one

It's amazing what a coaching change has done to help Goff.

As has already been mentioned, if Atlanta loses this, then there's a good chance when they play NO twice, that they will have nothing to play for.  Wouldn't you rather see them fight each other than Atlanta to give NO 2 easy wins?

I would rather see one potential competitor knocked out of contention and it be down to just us and New Orleans.  And Atlanta is defending NFC champ.  I would prefer they not find their mojo.
