Will you root for the Falcons?

I never thought I'd do it but I want a prime time game next week or at the very least, a competitive, meaningful Week 17 game for us. If the Falcons lose to the Saints, the latter locks up the division and will likely rest their starters like they did against us in '09. By starters, I mean Drew Brees. If you want a prime time game, these are stuff you should be rooting for this week:

- I could be wrong but the Cowboys/Giants aren't eligible to compete again on SNF since they already have done so. But if they are, root for a Cowboys win and a Giants loss.

- Root for the Detroit Lions to win, which would lock them up a playoff spot and make their Week 17 game against Greenbay meaningless for both sides. This would also eliminate Seattle and Arizona and takes San Diego out of postseason contentions. I guess you can also root for a Denver win, which I think locks the division up for them.

- A Bengals loss. This combined with a Giants loss gives the Jets the wildcard considering the Bengals certainly won't beat them in SOS.

- A San Fransisco loss as obviously if we are rooting for a Saints loss, a 49ers loss would at least give them more reason to continue fighting as the #2 seed would still be on the line.

I'm pretty sure that is it, leaving us as the only viable prime time option with the Saints fighting for the division and number two seed and of course, Cameron Newton.

Actually, just checked, we play at 1 PM but could be moved to 4:15. Ah well. No prime time glory for us. But I still want the Falcons to win. I don't want a useless last Panthers game.

Yes, I'm sadly rooting for the Falcons. Wifey has Matty Ice and Roddy White and she's playing in the Championship in our Fantasy League... $250 on the line. I went 11-2 and then SHE bounced me out of the playoffs. Sad but true.

Go Falcons!

I don't really want the taints to win another SB, so the harder the rd they have to travel the better. I think that the Saints should beat that a$$, but I'm hoping for an upset.

Hell no

this.

The Saints are already in the playoffs. There's still a shot the Falcons could miss out, and that would make me too happy. So, if I have to choose between the two, I'm going with the Saints. I just cant stand the falcons. I hope Matt Ryan goes out there and has his worst performance of the season.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
