If Saints win out, aren't we tied with Falcons?!?

ClintSaints · 11-30-2010, 02:12 AM

If the Saints get into the playoffs as a wild card team, they will likely play the Rams or the 49ers or the Seahawks. That isn't so bad. If the Saints then win that game, they will have to travel for the divisional, in which they would probably face Chicago or Green Bay, which would be tough, but not impossible. I'm thinking the NFC championship could possibly be between the Falcons and Saints, which would be bizarre. I wish it would be between the Saints and the Packers which would guarantee that a team I liked was in the Super Bowl no matter what.

Another thing I want to mention: the upcoming Seattle game is a trap game. That Seattle stadium is one of the loudest in all of sports and I think the Seahawks are going to surprise the Falcons bigtime. Also, Carolina is just now finding its groove on offense, which is awesome because they could possibly upset the Falcons as well. Mike Goodson and Jonathan Stewart totally rocked against the Browns' stout run defense this past weekend.

I think the winner of the Saints vs Atlanta game would be the one to go to the NFC championship if not mistaken. Wouldnt we play them in the divisional round the second week if it came to that?

If the #6 seed lost, and the 5 seed won (assuming thats us), Atlanat would face the #5 seed. We'd knock them out in the divisional round.

If the #6 seed also won, Atlanta would play them, not us.

You can bet Atlanta's hoping they don't face us in the playoffs.

If we win the rest of our games. Just beating Atlanta will not get us the NFC South Crown.
