Mid-Nite-Toker Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Doesn't matter. The main thing is for Falcons to win. Nearly all the main threats to a #1 seed we play head to head (except for Bears). Let them worry about keeping up with us. This team can take either them. Our guys can worry about home field advantage; let them worry about wildcard....and that's some real spit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammafan58 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 As long as the Falcons win, it does not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The most ideal situation for us is if they split their games. So I definitely want the Bucs to win this week because winning on the road is much harder for a young qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Im hoping for a tieNot me. In a sudden death situation you would have to favor Brees in the outcome. He may not be playing his best games right now but his body of work still makes him elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I still think many are sleeping on the Sucs. They finished strong last year and have started strong in 2010. So yeah I want to see the Bucs lose. No team has won the South with less than a 4-2 division record so a Buc loss would give us an edge in that department. Plus I still think I hate them more than the Aints, who I loathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want a situation where we need TB to beat the saints on the road when the saints might be healthier than they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#2 FTW Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I apologize if this has already been discussed.I'm just wondering what the majority viewpoint is? Who would you rather see win this Sunday? Saints are visiting Bucs. I automatically thought "Go Bucs"! But on Second thought, that would bring the Bucs to 4-1 and they come to the GA Dome week 9. I think the Saints are still a better team than the Bucs, but this is a tough call for me. Oh and obviously a tie would be the best result possible.Gotta go with Bucs. Saints can turn it on any week and Bucs can self-destruct at any time. No brainer IMO. No offense at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigSmackDaddy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm going to pull for the Bucs in this one but I think the Saints will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuccah Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Definitely want the Bucs to pull out a victory on this one. We need the Saints in as deep a hole as possible before they get healthy.Tracy Porter - OutPierre Thomas - OutReggie Bush - OutDarren Sharper - OutDrew Brees - Ailing (it is obvious to everyone)All those guys are a big piece of that team, and without them they will struggle until healthy. Once healthy, we COULD see the Saints of old come back. It would be wise to have a 3 game lead on them at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdzul Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Um, can I cheer for an asteroid to hit Raymond James?In all seriousness, I want the Bucs to win. That would give the Saints another division loss and they are the better team between the two.I kind of have to agree with both points above... +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman88 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) IF THE BUCS WIN, THEN THE SAINTS ARE 0-2 IN OUR DIVISION IN 6 WEEKS, THATS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BACK FROM IF THREE TEAMS ARE PLAYING WELL, AND WHEN WE WIN THIS SUNDAY, THAT WOULD MAKE THEM TWO GAMES BEHIND US.... BUCS ALL DAY, THEN WHEN WE PLAY THEM WE STOMP THERE A** AND TAKE THIS DIVISION FOR OURSELVES... Edited October 14, 2010 by madman88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisfromLouisiana Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) So far, the Falcons and Bucs are undefeated within the division...if the Saints win this weekend, the Bucs no longer will be...leaving the Falcons as the only undefeated division team with all possible tiebreakers in that scenario...I don't think you will have to worry about the Panthers (Falcons should sweep them) and at least split with the Bucs and Saints, if not sweep one or the other...either way it seems as though from the Falcons standpoint, they would be better off being assured that all three of the other teams in the division have losses after this weekend...and my viewpoint on this is not related to being a Saints fan; it just seems like the logical outcome that you would want for the Falcons to be in the best position IMO...

The ideal situation for any team in any division is for their counterparts to split all their games. If the saints beat the bucs on the road they could easily do it again at the end of the season at home. If the panthers can't beat the saints at home then that is 4 possibly wins for the saints. Not an ideal situation if they come back healthy and ready to play.The bucs have a long season ahead of them since their bye was so early. I think they are over-achieving right now and could fade as the season progresses. The saints may or may not get it together but getting a bunch of injured players back and giving Brees a week to sit in the near future can't hurt them any.
