ChiefGSU275 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Basically three weeks until the Falcons play a meaningful game. (20 days) Too much anticipation for me, but glad we got HFA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampyMux12 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'm pumped to have a couple of weeks of not having to be a nervous wreck for basically an entire week until the game ends and I can do it again. It's gonna be crazy that week leading up to our first playoff game - I'm not going to have a good nights sleep that entire week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeus Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I hope we rest our starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SativaSam Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Glad we got HFA, but it sucks that our starters are going to see so much rest...good to get healthy but just hope this team doesn't get out of sync and rusty. Still think back to GB at home against NY last year, that was just awful...can't count how many dropped passes or missed throws they had, and were still in the game despite multiple fumbles.

We have the bye coming so guys are going to get their rest. Sit guys who are a little banged up if need be, but IMO it is more important that we keep this roll going so we can stay sharp for the playoffs. I agree that two weeks is too long to shut down and expect to immediately flip that switch.Although I will mention that it has worked in the past to rest your guys, you just never know. Nobody was beating NY last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampyMux12 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 49ers had them beat, special team ****ups killed them.That's true...They had that feeling of destiny last year though, like the Pack the year before and Pittsburgh a few years earlier.

Coeus Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I honestly believe we'll be sharp come playofffs. We didn't get new coordinators for nothing. Plus, I'm sure 0-3 is more than enough to remind these guys they can't slack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same difference, it's a risk you take every time you step on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbyr Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 They might play half a game and then the backups will come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maorifalcon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I want the starters to play the first half, then get out of the game... Matt Ryan, Roddy, JJ, Asante and WillyMo in particular.I will hate to see Hope out there in the playoffs the guy is garbage!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Flight Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Get the win because I wanna be 8-0 at home. No need to rest them with a first round bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomak Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 And if a major player goes down you same guys who says play them now will be the first to say Smith should have taken them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks off is a long time. A half at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
