Peyton Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 It's so funny that Miami's offense was so bad on Sunday that people are remembering their game as a loss, when in fact they won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatboi Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 2 hours ago, Peyton said: Dude the Dolphins are 32nd in points and 32nd in offensive yards, despite playing against the 24th, 25th, 29th, and 21st ranked defenses. And that was before the offensive line coach got fired for sniffing coke. The Falcons are coming off a loss and a bye. There is ZERO reason for this game to be close. The dolphins just might keep it close simply because of the drama going on. I’m not saying that they will keep it close but never automatically assume that it’s a blowout just because of so and so. What happened to their OL coach could he enough to bring them together. I think we beat them. Maybe even convincingly but if miami keeps it a tight game I won’t be surprised either. I underestimate no one. Any given Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL teams are more evenly matched then what a lot of fans think. How teams match-up with one another matters also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another part fans don’t realize is there’s a years worth of film with us running the offense RIGHT so they know how to play us better in 2017. The offense hasn’t changed. It has a few wrinkles but it’s still the same. ALSO I don’t think fans know how much we may be missing Robinson too. His SPEED forced safeties to make a decision much quicker than what we have now. It’s the same system but the players aren’t quite the same. The starters are minus Chester and Dimarco but the WR’s are different after Gabriel. The Robison role is played by a slower guy that doesn’t know the system quite as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina has already beat Buffalo. They’re 2-0 against the AFCE. We’re 0-1. We lose to miami we’re 0-2. And if we lose to NE 0-3 and our total Record would be 3-3. So you’re ok with Carolina having that big of a lead in the division? That could have serious implications down the stretch if we want to win the division. It’s a must win in the grand scheme of things as WELL as a should win. None of what you said is more important than our games against them, the rest of the division, and the NFC North foes we have left. None of us WANT our squad to lose Sunday but it's important in the sense that all games in a 16 game season are. If God came down and said the Falcons will have at least 2 more losses this year but you get to pick which ones I'd probably go with this one and the Jets.

IT DOES matter because it’s about OVERALL Record first. PERIOD. We could lose all of our divisional games and win all the rest but Carolina wins all their division games and lose the rest and we’d win the division. In other words if we ended up 10-6 After losing all division games but carolina was 6-10 only winning division games we’d win the division and go on to play in the playoffs. SO...once again so you guys understand me CLEARLY. ITS ABOUT OVERALL RECORD!!! THEN it comes down to division, then conference and so forth and so on. And THATS determining if we finished with the same record as carolina. If we were both 12-4 at the end of the season haveing tye sane Record in the division and conference the AFCE games would determine who wins the division. My case and point is YES this is a must win because at the end of the year if it’s a tight divisional race I don’t want to have to depend on another team winning or losing to help us get into the playoffs. So one last time so we all are clear... ITS ABOUT OVERALL RECORD FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!! Everything else is secondary depending on tiebreakers yada yada yada...

TheFatboi Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Do we not want to win the division? I mean I thought we understood that it’s about winning the division. Home field. It appears it’s gonna be a tight race with carolina this year so why wouldn’t every game be must win if we’re trying to win the division? We don’t want to fall behind at all in the division. We want to lead the pack. As of now we’re in 2nd place. And if they win tomoorw and we lose Sunday we’re a game and a half out of first. Now youre talking trying to get a wildcard but what if Detroit ends up with a better overall record than us woth GB winning their division and Carolina winning ours? Guess what?? We miss the playoffs even tho we beat Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we also lose to NO and split with Carolina and lose to miami putting us at 12-4 and Carolina’s only divisional loss is NO and us and we both sweep the NFCN the AFCE is our other common opponents. Losing to miami could come back to haunt us in common opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said they're all important in a 16 game season. I'm talking about the perspective that this is a "must-win" game. I only think it's a must win for the psyche of the fans. We lose and we'll all be questioning where this season is headed after losing to the Dolphins but with 6 out of the 11 games left being division games and our two losses being to AFC teams I can't pretend we're done if we lose it. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 On top of the fact that the Dolphins have all this dysfunction and are facing a Falcons teamed that is rested, healthy, and hopefully refocused, look at the Dolphins brutal travel schedule. This game will be the 5th consecutive game the Dolphins have played in a different city. In the last 26 days they have flown across the country 4 times and across the Atlantic Ocean twice. You'd think they have to be exhausted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this loss obviously wouldn't spell the end for us in reality but our perception as fans and the national perception would change because despite every NFL team being capable of winning any game this is a Miami team that's playing poorly and coming off of a "bad week". You're coming off the week and get them at home...you should kind of handle business. I think this game is as much about mental preparation and coaching as any game. With 11 more games after this one and what would be two losses against AFC opponents (if we lost) it's not truly a must-win to me but it would be a really bad loss. That said though, with a weak NFC I've seen enough to say this team is not headed back to the SB. They're not winning the division. Not even sure they're making the playoffs.

g-dawg Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 it's about to get real interesting........Falcons have dug themselves an unnecessary hole. Now the favorable opening schedule they had and they only come through 3-2. Falcons better hurry up and find their footing - or they won't return to playoffs.

With the schedule we have coming up and the garbage Football played over the first 6 weeks of the season, I don't think the Falcons are making it this year. Another second half collapse + loss at home + losing after a BYE week = Bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another second half collapse + loss at home + losing after a BYE week = Bad news I agree. the only thing that has really been impressive this season has been the play of Freeman and Sanu (who is now out hurt). No particular offensive nor defensive grouping has looked good either. We have seen this team play five games now - forget last season, like the Soprano's "It's over".

FalconMama Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Falcons are about to start a 3 game road trip before they come home on 11/12 to face the Cowboys. They need to come home at least 5-3. 6-2 would be ideal but they can't drop more than one of these road games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
