Even though they're winning the New Orleans Saints can't catch Atlanta

12-14-2010, 03:13 PM

Lets not worry about where who finishes where here. Lets just go win out the rest of these games. Hope for the best from the football Gods. We seem to be peaking at the right time here. Kinda reminds me of some of the 49'er teams from years past here. So lets go out run the table and continue through the playoff's we showed that we can win the big games. It's those teams that we should beat that always bites us in the butt. Couple less turnovers and a made field goal against The dirty birds and we would be in the drivers seat here. GEAUX SAINTS can you say TWODAT for the WHODAT...

Its pretty simple. Three games left. Saints have to win them all and Falcons have to lose 2 of 3 for the Saints to win the division.

Not true.

If Atlanta loses to us and Carolina, then the tie-breaker is no longer common opponents but division record, where we'd be 5-1 and Atlanta would be 4-2.

We can still win the division even if we finish with the same record as Atlanta (if we lose to the Ravens and then win out)

Saints 12-4, (5-1 division)
Falcons 12-4 (4-2 division)

Only thing Carolina is going to win is Cam in the draft. I was hoping they would come around and give the Falcons an uppercut but that team is on cruise control. The QB and Coach are gone next season if there is one.

We take care of our business, and let the chips fall where they may. It's not unheard of, for a wild card to get to the superbowl, that's for sure.

Go Carolina.

No we don't. We aren't on the team.

I'm spending all week overlooking the Ravens and looking forward to the Falcons
