Atl@Car was flexed.

Of course it was....

Well have to beat the bucs I guess and risk playing the falcons.

Get a home game. WIN, no matter who we play, just WIN!

Turns out it's not gonna be flexed after all so there is still a chance to control who we play if the rams slip up.

Not sure you are clear on what you speak. All four NFC games dealing with seeds 3-6 are all on at 4:25 ET:

Only thing really left to decide is who's the home team (division winner).

Thoughts on facing Scam a 3rd time???

I don't mind playing the Panthers. Of all teams we played this year, they match up the worst against the Saints. That's why we swept them.

I am talking about Car@Atl playing SNF as he seemed to indicate last night.

Carolina was built to beat us and they built a good team who went to the super bowl while we went 7-9 repeatedly........but last years draft separates us from the rest of the division.

Thank you Jeff Ireland!!!

CAR@ATL was flexed to 4:25 ET as were several other games including Saints/Bucs. I guess it's easy to confuse the word "flexed" to SNF only. However, flexing can be to a different later timeslot (as the Saints were a couple of times this season) or crossflexed, where CBS carries an NFC-NFC matchup that normally would only be aired on FOX. I got to see the Saints here in Atlanta because the Carolina/Chicago game was crossflexed this season for example.

Bottom line is exactly for the reasons that you were outlining, the games with affect each other in terms of the playoffs are played at the same time. Since the Saints, Kitties, Chokers, Lambs, and Seachickens games all influence each other, all games involving them have been grouped at 4:25 ET.

Tough year in the NFC. Win 12 games and still have to win 3 to get to the Super Bowl. The good news is, the Vikes, Eagles and Rams don't scare me.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
