BlazerHarvard Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 @ Philly - LossCincy - WinTampa - WinBaltimore - Loss@ St. Louis - WinGreen Bay - Win@Tampa - Win@Carolina - Win@Seattle - LossNew Orleans - WinCarolina - WinThis will have us going 12-4 and winning the division.However, @Tampa is now looking like it'll be a tough game. Cincy is no gimme either. They have a good deal of talent. If Carson Palmer can catch lightning in a bottle, then they can be pretty scary. I see us going 12-4 at best and 10-6 at worst, though. If we keep playing these tight games, we will be closer to 10-6 than 12-4. I'd like to see us demolish a couple of more teams and then I'll feel better about our chances of going 12-4.

Dharma Initiative Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Do you really think we even have a snowball's chance to lose to the Seahawks? Behind the Bills and the Panthers they are probably the worst team in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind the Bills and the Panthers they are probably the worst team in the league.Uhm...yeah, we do have a chance at losing that game. With the exception of the win against the Cardinals, we aren't blowing anyone out. Traveling about 3,000 miles across country to a historically tough place to play is NOT easy.Even this year the Seahawks have shown they are a really tough team at home while being subpar on the road.Considering we'll be going all the way to Qwest Field, I'm going to chalk it up as a tough game that we could potentially lose. I hate posts like yours, though. Nobody knows it all, so don't act like you do.You act as if a team has never laid an egg or come out flat. It DOES happen. Look no further than this past weekend as a case in point. Edited October 11, 2010 by BlazerFalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said the Falcons would lose to the Seahawks, Dharma disagreed, what's the problem with that? I happen to think the Falcons win against the Seahawks but have a chance to lose one to the Bucs or Saints. Does that make me a problem too?

That's a moronic statement. And no. I can see us winning the Seahawks game as well while losing one to either the Bucs or Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosmith67 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Also, what does playing close games have anything to do with anything? The NFL model is based on parity, most games should be within 10 or fewer points and usually are on a weekly basis. This week 9 games came down to 10 points or fewer, there were only 4 that were higher than 10 points separating the teams. Complete routes are a rare thing in the NFL.

Trying to abstract info on weeks 15 or 17 in week 6 is pretty useless, anything can happen, including turf toes and ankle sprains that keep players out for extended periods of time. Keep in mind the Falcons were 4-1 to start last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete routes are a rare thing in the NFL.You're further proving my point in regards to the Seahawks game.In regards to the Falcons, though, I see what you're trying to say. However, if you constantly play really tight games week in and week out, the other teams will sometimes make the key play that determines the outcome of the game. I'm not saying the Falcons need to win by 35 a few more times. However, if they can show that they can win by 10-14+ and dominate (yes, we won by 10 yesterday, but we did NOT dominate) with a bit more consistency, then I'll feel more confident in our ability to go 12-4. That's all I'm saying. Edited October 11, 2010 by BlazerFalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look no further than this past weekend as a case in point.the Browns at least have good defensive players. The Seahawks do not have one single player I would take over a Falcon starter. They'll get destroyed.We have a much higher chance of losing to the Saints at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point_Blank Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Philly is definitely beatable and so is Seattle.We could probably beat Bmore at home too, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
