Sponge Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 ESPN said that teams who start 0-2 have a 12% chance of making the playoffs. Technically, the season is over by the end of week 2 according to them. This makes the Raiders game a must win or could become a season ending backbreaker. Thoughts and odds of the Falcons making the playoffs potentially starting 0-2? I personally believe they'll win tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that is terrifying. You can literally see them twisting and turning trying to stop the fall after being kicked over the ledge. Yeah, you heard right. That video was never what they said it was.

droopy1592 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I remember when the 9-7 giants won the Super Bowl against the unbeatable Pats.

That said, with the stretch of games coming up, it would be an important win. This early in the season, that causality is backwards. It's not that going 0-2 is such a huge hole that you likely won't make the playoffs, it's that teams that are not playoff contenders are much more likely to start 0-2. Seahawks were 0-2 and then 2-4 last year and made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCurt57 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The one word never used by teams themselves, is "rebuild." But we are rebuilding. We have serious youth on the defensive side, but where we aren't young, we are generally very old. We've drafted poorly far back and very few draft picks entering their 5, 6th year. If we have a bad season and draft high, I'd like the LSU running back. He will change our offense completely and keep our defense off the field. He's an amazing back and with players like Julio, Sanu, Hardy on the field he would be mind boggling. We'll get more defensive depth and another FA to shore up the DL and OL, DB. I'm bothered by how little enjoyment this fan base gets out of watching them try to build this. The board is filled with Shanahan and hurry up. The posters know nothing about Shanahan's offense. Matt Ryan had the reputation as a cerebral QB-there's no reason he can't master an offense that's been executed by 30,40 qbs. But we lack talent and we definitely lack playmakers who on occaission can take over part of a game. There's no reason for all the hysteria and whining. I don't know if DQ can be a HC. I don't know why Beasley isn't developing fast. But everyone is putting forth a ton of effort and trying to get things right. Why can't that be enjoyable?

esmithidoc Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I decided long ago that just getting to go to games, win or lose, is a blessing. I try to "enjoy the ride" and not get fixated on losses. If you are going to be unhappy unless you win a Super Bowl, you are almost always going to be unhappy...

I'm curious, are you referring to the board as rats, or is the focus on going off the cliff, or that there's nothing they can do to stop themselves, or is it D: all of the above I wish someone could photoshop some board members names on some of them just before they go off the egde......LOL also must ask, someone else referenced this 'video' what video is that, and where can I find it to watch it.

falcndave Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I was uncomfortable coming into the season understanding this would not be a playoff run for this team. I've said 100 times now, I think we are much improved talent wise, but I don't expect it to show up on the record this season. We have a cupcake of a schedule last year, and we don't this year. So, more talent...same result. This season, I'm talking each week on its own merit. If we win a game, we are champions of the week. If we don't we are building talent...hopefully.

dzor22 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 HA! Playoffs! Mr Positive here; but I have to call a tird a tird...or is turd? We will be very fortunate to go 4-12. No pass rush for how long now? Really? Youre talking playoffs? Success? No; we are 0-3 against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay man! The same coaches beat us that we ran off and were tipping hats again.. Coach is happy about speed when we cant tackle and make stupid penalties. I believe this can change; but I believed that 3 years ago. Watching abd football is not good and seeing TB beat our azz last week; its just to hard to watch. Then we get to rebuild?? FreaK this! Why go through it after being a fan for 45 fricking years? My fence needs painting. There are girls that want to play hide the sausage. Lets get real. Playoffs. Fricking high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
