Rick Gosselin on the Falcons bandwagon

Game I've got circled on my calendar

Atlanta at Seattle, Dec. 19: In a mediocre NFC, the Falcons and Seahawks are early favorites to win division titles. Atlanta sits atop the NFC South with a 5-2 mark, and Seattle atop the NFC West at 4-2. There's so little competition out West that Seattle has a soft enough schedule to be a candidate for a first-round bye. Atlanta has been the most consistent team in the NFC thus far. This game could conceivably be for the NFC's top seed.

We all know this is NOT true. This has always been Smitty's mantra with this young team...they're not consistent enough. They've gotten better, but for some reason they have lapses and revert to playing undisciplined football at time.

I agree that we can always be more consistent.

To be fair though, what team in the NFC has been more consistent than we have?

The other two trips are not long trips, the team will be fine. Trips to Tampa and Panty-Land are easy trips to make.

A roadie is a roadie - it's not just the flight (or bus trip) it's the whole package. And a late December game at Qwest Field has 'miserable weather day' written all over it.

I think this could definately be a trap game for us, as i think we will have won most of our games in the run in and the seahawks at home just beat you and you dont know how plus im going to be watching this game with a seattle fan whose only just started watching nfl, and to think i told him seattle were no hopers going into this year.

I don't think that Seattle is all that good but they're tough at home and they've gutted out wins. I know they beat Chicago on the road but...the Bears look horrible right now.

I'll have to wait and see what happens to them over the next few weeks before I'm convinced they're playing for a bye. I still think teams like Philly & NY will be in it...not to mention GB and N.O. (as much as it pains me to say it) when they get healthy.

I don't see it as a trap game. I see it as a game that could be a tough win at least as it is right now.
