AF89 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Better weather in Arizona ...lolJust my opinion but I think they're ultimately the 2nd best NFC team behind the Packers, or at least better than the Panthers. They wont win as many games with their schedule of course and who knows if Palmer will stay healthy but that's a dangerous team if they stay healthy.

g-dawg Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm not sure.I know for a fact regardless the players will back themselves to win whatever the state of play is.Personally I think we'd have as good a chance as any Eli is mistake prone when forced to be 1 dimensional.If we controlled the clock with the Freeman & co I could still see us winning this game.They still have NO one that can guard #11 so I'd be still confident in us to get it done.it is pointless for me to sit here and argue much on this game as I want the falcons to win and we don't know what the Falcons or Giants will look like come January - and Giants are barely winning this division anyway.However I do know this - the statistical odds go waaaaaay up for our postseason success if we win the division and hopefully get a bye week. Surely on that, we can agree, kiwi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachore Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 NFC:#1 seed: Carolina (6-0) and (3-0) in conference (not sure what #3 tiebreaker is) - NFCS#2 seed: Green Bay (6-0) and (4-0) in conference - NFCN#3 seed: Arizona (4-2) - NFCW#4 seed: NY Giants (4-3) - NFCE#5 seed: Atlanta Falcons (6-1) - Wildcard#6 seed: Minnesota Vikings (4-2) - WildcardThe #1 and #2 seed could be flipped but Carolina has the easier remaining schedule. The Atlanta Falcons would travel to New York to play the Giants - uggh!Didn't we already do that this year and win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 that is it exactly - unfortunately all the division winners get at least one home playoff game - whether they deserve it or not. Imagine if Falcons go 13-3 and have the NFC's 2nd best record and yet we are the #5 seed?We either win the division and we are seeded #1-4 or we don't win our division and we are #5 or #6. It is just that simple.Yep its probably going to be HFA or Wildcard as far as seeding is concerned. No middle ground with the race we're in.

falcndave Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Fun fact. As of now, the Falcons have played the second toughest SOS, and have the best SOV, of those six teams. That really doesn't mean much, but it does squash the 'picking on easy opponents' theory. All the current top seeds have played puff ball schedules. Of course, the top 6 teams are 30-8, so their opponents naturally look bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwarzenegger321 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If you are really worried about who we face in the playoffs then you need to go back to watching cheerleading on ESPN2. It's football and the playoffs. Everyone is good. Either have faith your team can win or start watching another team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatboi Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Giants don't look that good so I actually wouldn't mind traveling to New Jersey for a road playoff game.The Giants didn't look that good when they were the 6th seed and beat the perfect Patriots either. I keep telling yall throw them records and struggles out the window. Teams aren't always as bad as their record shows. They're in first place in their division and we beat them. It wasn't an easy win. They've been in every game they've played. Teams like that are hard to beat in the playoffs. That's why I'm ok with the ugly wins we've gotten. We'd be a hard team to beat in the playoffs as well. Blowouts don't prepare you for the dog fights. Of all the blowouts the patriots had that year they lost a dog fight in the super bowl. I'm happy our guys are winning ugly. Pretty is the bonus.Everybody thought GB was gonna blow the Giants out in the playoffs because of how they blew everybody out in the season and they lost a dog fight against the boys in blue.

falconidae Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Think the most important thing to take out of that is the Falcons would be in the playoffs. after the last couple of years, that'd be nice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 how about we worry about making it through tampa bay and the rest of the regular season before we worry about playoffs? i know, what a concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanForLife Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well normally I am screaming not to look that far ahead, especially with our offense looking as putrid as I can remember under Ryan's tenure lately, However, that is an interesting scenario to ponder, so Thank You for posting it for us to drool over a little bit. The good news for us IMHO is we have time to keep working out the kinks in this still-evolving team and systems. Hopefully, we just keep getting better; although, the last 3 games have also shown we can just as easily get worse as our anemic offense has so kindly reminded us all.

g-dawg Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 It would'nt really matter too much for me home away where in the dance we got as good achance as anybody.What I will guarantee though is the disbelief that this team can win on the road during the play-offs.The stone throwing that would take place.Nevermind the fundementalpositives that this team has at stopping the rock and running it which is KEY during the play-offs.I can guarantee there will be up teen negative threads saying this and that and pretty much half our fanbase believing the above and will only point out what we can't do.It's almost like if that sceanrio happend the players may aswell just forfeit and be done with it and concentrate on the off season.pretty big advantage for a cold weather northern team to host a playoff game. The only time I remember Falcons performing in those scenarios was the Green Bay/Mike Vick game.again, premature discussion but beats talking about how sucky Matt Ryan played yesterday.

HEIST Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Who cares if the Giants beat us in 2011? By that logic, it doesn't matter if we get homefield since the Packers will just come blow us out anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember those days? The days when the Falcons once won 11 straight games against the Saints? What about just last year when the Falcons won both games against the Saints? The Falcons will beat the Saints and if they don't then I'll know you'll be here to rub it in my face. But I don't have to worry about that. Go Falcons! **** the Saints! Falcons win in the PooperDome tomorrow night! Book it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"The" Donnie Ray Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thank you sir for stating that. This is a long season and that's great for us. Were not playing our best football yet. I'm hoping we hit a very hot streak right around the first time we play the panthers. Carry some momentum into the post season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
