We beat the Falcons once and win the division right?

Just because you win all your division games doesn't mean you win the division. You still have to have a better overall record than any other team in your division. Division wins are used as the tie breaker. Now if we did go 6-0 in the division we would be division champs because no one could have a better record this year.

Vikings secondary is tough. Panthers will be saying next year next week.

Linebackers as well. This is a complete team on defense.

Agree. But the Saints offense had changed dramatically since game 1. We now have a two headed monster and the Vikes could expect to get a heavy dose of Kamara. Consider that the Panther's also "had" a top rated run D and Kamara made them look pretty average last night. The Saints rushed for ~150 yards last night, nearly 2x what Carolina had been allowing.

Watching some of Kamara's runs almost makes me feed sorry for the people trying to tackle him. Almost, but not quite.

The kid is pretty special and he should extend Bree's career by a few years. Anytime you can dump a pass behind the line of scrimmage and have the back turn it into a 10-20 yard gain or TD, it helps the QB stats.

Thanks to Seattle the door is open for a potential 1st round bye. We'll need some help, but our chances aren't horribly bad anymore.

Killed two birds with one stone; helps us and hurt the Falcons playoff chances even more...

we came out with a win and healthy, so that is a win win

Now lets get back our other starting CB and add another win going into Thursday night game against Atlanta.

Thursday is all that matters.

Putting a nail in the falcons season on the road in front of their fans would be a huge point of joy in my life.

This week, if Rams, Panthers, and Saints win, the Saints become the #1 seed with 3 games to go.
Last 3 games:
vs Jets
vs Clowns
@ Bucs

Better revenge. NFC Championship in Minnesota. Saints win then win the Super Bowl in YEP Minnesota!!!

Vikings have it pretty easy the rest of the way, and the Eagles only face one team with a winning record. We pretty much need to win out or go 3-1 and hope for upsets.
I would not be surprised to see Seattle win that division
