Falcons vs Seahawks Monday Night Thread

who are we pulling for?

I haven't looked into the particulars, but I don't think we want the Falcons to win. They aren't out of division race and are right in the mix for the wild card . 

There's a feasable situation where both the Falcons and Panthers make it in as wild cards and the Saints also make it in as the division winner. 

Take for example , if both teams win out until we face eachother in the last game of the season, we would be 12-3 and they would be 11- 4. If they win the final game, that makes both of us 12 - 4 . We split the series, but we would have more NFC losses , so I think tiebreakers would have them being ahead of us in any sort of playoff seeding or divisional placement which is a problem. And this is all assuming we win out for the rest of the season until that game.

I honestly think the Saints are going to be in for a rude ass awakening by the time they start playing these late season divisional games. Atlanta still has Super Bowl level talent and they're starting to gell in the 2nd half of the season. Our running game is coming alive and Cam's starting to feel it. And the Bucs just are probably due for a late season upset.

Seahawks, as Atlanta is a far bigger threat to us.  But I doubt they win. 

not really.

seahawks are in the way for a wildcard, so the more they lose the better. 

atlanta isn't a threat unless we let them be. we're comfortably fine with them winning.

    • We will draft Walker over Mykel if he’s there
    • Your thoughts? I don't think the trade up or even down value system stays exactly in place this year. Look at all the bad trades that hurt teams that give away too much (49ers for Lance, even us w/the Bears set us back). What trade up except Mahomes/KC was it really a great trade for the team giving up a lot? Same with trading down. Teams will know you don't want to pick and they won't be giving the store to move up because there is not a generational talent to do that for. Now, I believe these possibilities.  The Giants probably won't take QB-Sanders at 3, it's too much pressure if it doesn't work. They don't really need another edge rusher with Carter. I can see them possibly saving face, trade down to even the Panthers at 8 but not asking for a kings ransom. A 1st round swap, a 3rd and 4th and maybe next years 2nd and 4th could be enough without giving up too much. The Giants save in pay and in public opinion and then they can take Sanders or even another QB. For the Panthers to drop down, it has to mean their top 3 picks are not there. Do they take TE-Warren if he drops in their lap at 8 (I do like that)? I believe they would love to drop back but again I don't think teams will pay a lot to move up unless they want a QB before the Saints (our only hope for a good value).  I'm not picking a player, just thinking of the draft in general and value. Reaching doesn't work and more and more teams are realizing that. 
    • With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.   What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers?  I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).
