The one good thing about today

spkb25 · 12-19-2010, 05:42 PM

In my opinion is that Atlanta won- had they loss I would have been saying what if the rest of the week. It hurts less this way, in my opinion

Yeah, thats a good way to look at it I guess. Looks like the dirty birds will take the NFC South. I'm not scared to go in as a wildcard.

One more good thing today...... how bout that Lance Moore TD, wow.

Agreed..Jimmy Graham's was a good one too!

Lance Moore has made some amazing completions at clutch times. Yeah I have been numb from the loss but Baltimore came to play and we struggled.
I still like our chances against Atlanta only if we can stop the running game.

The good thing is Tampa and Giants losing.

We will beat the Falcons we owe them!

Hard to believe is the Saints can still win the division. It would required the Saints winning out and the Falcons losing out. I can see the Saints winning against the Falcons and Buccs, but cannot see the Falcons losing to the Panthers in week 17. At least it keeps things interesting for next Monday. What the Saints need to do is keep focused, and at least secure the #5 slot in the playoffs. Also, I am going to be seriously pulling for the Rams to win their division. If the Saints can at least secure the 5 spot, I like the Saints chances of advancing with an away game at St Louis much better than playing at San Francisco or Seattle.

Actually, as soon as we lost I wanted the FalCLOWNS to win ... Reasoning:

We are going to be a WILD CARD, so that means we will travel to either Seattle or St. Louis most likely to play that game ... Where would you rather go? I'd rather play IN A DOME in St. Louis against a rookie (albeit great) QB. Seattle would be cold/wet/and VERY tough in January ... Thus, rooting for ATL to win makes sense because then St. Louis can still win the NFC worst division.

The way I see it ... We go to St. Louis/then an outside game (most likely cold one too), but then back IN A DOME in ATL ... We make the SB much easier this way.

I'm not so sure about that last part. Frankly, The Falcons are pretenders. Whomever gets them first is probably going to wipe the floor with them.
