roguebeaver Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 1. Is gonna be sweet! Secures 1st round bye 2. Won't be close. Ryan, JJ go ape sheeeit again in search of records 3. May be the last time Sean and Drew as a tag team visits the Atl as a Stain against humanity 4. Will be delayed in starting by about 3 + hours. Sean asked Goodell for a stay of execution for this upcoming game with the birds and he granted it by moving the game to 4ish... 5. Dammmmed Packers moved to 8:30, prime time slot. Go Pack...I mean Birds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Slow down. Most people are saying 'Falcons win and they're the #2 seed'. That is not totally correct. The Falcons could win and still wind up #3, if they beat the Saints, the Lions win tonight....and the following teams win next week: Redskins over Giants Bucs over Panthers Lions over Packers Seahawks over 49ers Vikings over Bears However, the Falcons could also lose and still wind up #2, if the Saints beat them...and the following happens: Panthers over Bucs Giants over Skins 49ers over Seahawks Packers over Lions Not likely but possible. So 'win and you're #2' isn't quite the inevitability it looked to be a couple days ago. There also is a way for the Falcons to fall to #4, but it's complicated and this is already hurting everyone's heads. (Of course, the Lions have to win tonight for most of this to even come up).

mc Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 If we win, rams would have to beat the cardinals. Don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Lions need Rams to beat the Cards. That's what makes it most likely we get the 2 seed if we win and even if the Lions win out.

octoslash Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I know. I'm just pointing out that it's not an absolute, as many are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
