So....go Falcons.....

[L-TownCat]

You kind of have to specifically pull for the Falcons on this one, since the divisional loss is what swings the tiebreaker in our favor. If it was a non-divisional game, Saints would still be on top at the end of the week no matter what.

 

I beg to differ.  The specific circumstances in this particular match-up just so happen to benefit the Panthers.  I will attribute this to the luck of the draw.

[Oldmanrivera]

I will just pull for the saints to score zero points tonight, their opponent be damned.

However the silver lining is that should they win, it will be at the expense of the colossal bed-shitter that he is, Matt Ryan.

 

 

It has got to be annoying changing your sheets every week.

Being this game is in Atlanta, the Falcons could definitely pull an upset, we all know how the teams in our division play each other.

 

I refuse to root for the Falcons though.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Ya know...would rooting for a tie hurt them as well and have the same effect? lol.....I'm reaching I know lol

Actually, I'm not sure. A tie would mean the Saints wouldn't technically be perfect in the division so...maybe?

[Pox 08]

I've no problem rooting and cheering for the Falcons to beat the Saints.          

 

This new era of Falcons doesn't fill me with the hatred that the Vick era Falcons did.     My god I hated the Vick era Falcons.

It won't be easy, but I will root for the Falcons.  I hate them with the intensity of a thousand white-hot suns, but really want an NFCS title this year, and this one would help.  That said...the Falcons have no shot in this game.  None.  Zero.  So, while I'll root for them, it'll be for naught as they're gonna get blasted.  I'd be shocked if the Saints didn't win by at least 24.

No one gave the Bucs a shot in hell at Seattle....and they damn near pulled off the upset.

 

Anything is possible.

The more I read about these hypotheticals, the more the Bills and Seahawks games stick in my craw. Nobody in the national media has any idea how close we are to being 9-1 right now.

In addition to the short week on the road in primetime against a team that should be playing their Super Bowl, the Saints have some major injury concerns as well. NINE listed on the final injury report. Greer is out and Sproles, Jahri Evans, and Vaccaro likely won't play.

[Sam Mills Fan]

The Panthers because of so many wins and that win over the Niners are virtually guaranteed the playoffs based off their remaining schedule. The Seahawks are virtually guaranteed homefield advantage. We're almost certainly looking at either the 2 seed or the 5 seed. That means there's only one other team we have to really scoreboard watch: the Saints. If we only split the Saints (hopefully we sweep), we're going to need them to lose to both the Seahawks and get upset by another team like the Falcons tonight.

[TheMaulClaw]

I'm rooting for a bomb.

[Jangler]

Don't get your hopes up...here's a convo I had with a diehard falcon fan this morning.

 

ha! it's the NFCS happens almost every year.

I refuse to root for the Falcons though.

 

yeah, it more of "I hope the Falcons win tonight."

[TheRed]

yeah, it more of "I hope the Falcons win tonight."

 

I'm thinking a tie.
