But if they make it to the Super Bowl, they’ll be taking over their division rival’s. Via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Atlanta host committee said the NFC representative in Super Bowl LIII will work out at the Falcons facility in Flowery Branch, and use the home locker room at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. That would obviously thrill the Saints, for reasons beyond the obvious one that they’d be in the Super Bowl. The AFC team will practice at Georgia Tech and use the visiting locker room. “Um, whomever is playing for the championship, I guess I’m most disappointed that we won’t be the ones playing and practicing in our facility,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. He’d be even more disappointed if he walked back into it afterward and found someone gave it the Eli Manning treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD dirtybird21 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Eh, practicing in Atlanta at Branch could cause some fans to be distracting. I’m all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtiksage Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yeah me too. I'm for it. Once they see that nice facility, maybe we can snag their best FAs on the cheap. They'll all be wanting to come to the Falcons. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motivation2k3 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Lol People will really be pissed if they won in our stadium. They need to get a life outside of football, but the bragging rights may be theirs forever. Even if brees retires, they can say they won 2 and 1 in our own stadium and popped bottles in our dressing rooms smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motivation2k3 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 What if Coach Payton writes 28-3 on the wall to motivate them at halftime if they are up to not fall down...**** the trolling would be crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datchrisb1 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 All these Super Bowls I'm pretty sure if they made it, this wouldn't be the first time a division rival made it to play in their home stadium. Wait a minute I think I will look that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will get an L this year in the playoffs at home Even if so, Rams defense has been inconsistent all year and Jared Goff has gone downhill. The Bears are a defensive team and they can't get into shootouts, and let's say they're trailing late in the game, do you trust Tribusky? Doubt it. The Bears blew a lead to a one legged Aaron Rodgers earlier in the year. They barely beat the Cardinals in Arizona. They lost at home to the worst Patriots team in 9 years, and they lost on the road to the Giants. There's currently nobody in the NFC I see winning in New Orleans in the playoffs in what's possibly the last go round for Brees and Payton together and they want to end on a high note.
