since68andcounting Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Seems like a heck of a long way to say:We win Sunday, and 3 losses by any of the following 4 teams: 49ers, Packers, Giants, Bears.Or we win 2 of the next 4 with no help.

Desert_Falcon Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not far fetched but we just gotta play our games and not leave it in the hands of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The important thing right now is not to screw around. We need a win against the Panthers. We got the help we needed to keep from requiring 3 out of 4 wins. We may get more, we may not. We own this conference, we know it, and they know it!!

Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I like our chances in the next game since it's outdoor.. Look at Matt Ryan's stat when he plays outdoor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the help we needed to keep from requiring 3 out of 4 wins. We may get more, we may not. We own this conference, we know it, and they know it!!I get it now, what Brees was trying to say... He might own the Division but the Falcons own the conference... Edited December 3, 2012 by falcon_owns_nfc_south Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Beat Panthers.Win one of three (Giants, Detroit, Bucs).HFA #1 seedI'd love to see us win next two, then rest a lot of folks a large part of last two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randawg91 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I like that we'll be playing some actual competition down the stretch. Panthers should've beat us, and Giants/Lions/Bucs for the last 3 is no joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
