falcons 2 games out of 1st place

[dirtybirdman]

hey guys, we're 2 games out of first place with 4 division games still left and a favorable schedule (other than indy at home). assuming we can squeeze out a win at carolina (which is possible b/c david carr and they can't win at home), and then tampa bay at home (which is winnable), we could be sitting at 4-6 with a 3 game winning streak heading into the thanksgiving game against indy. the standings now are

tampa bay 5-4 wk 10 bye, wk 11 @atl (possible loss)

new orleans 4-4 wk 10 stl (win), wk 11 @hou (potential loss)

carolina 4-4 atl (possible loss), @green bay (loss)

atlanta 2-6 @carolina (possible w), tb (possible win)

the new standings after week 11 could go as

tampa bay 5-5 (1st b/c of earlier win against new orleans)

new orleans 5-5

carolina 4-6

atlanta 4-6

we could be one game out b/c nobody is dominant in this division except new orlens and we have them at home one more time. just being optimistic, not as much of a stretch as it may seems.

we just barely beat maybe the worst team in the nfl. we're not going to win back-to-back games in carolina and against tampa. i like our chances against carolina a lot more than i do against tampa.

now is that last post suppose to be the microdot you just licked to have that hallucination? we will be very lucky to finish at 5-11. hate to say this, but the saints are on a roll and they might be going after the bucs for 1st place.

well we havent faced the worst team in the nfl yet (the rams), plus the schedule is pretty favorable schedule other than the thankgiving game
