Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Makes sense, I guess. Still it will be hard to do.

Do Saints fans despise Atlanta Falcons enough to pull for them to win? Yep (and vice versa) | Saints | theadvocate.com

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

No we don't. The Eagles aren't anything at all offensively without their QB. They have a brilliant defense, but with small chance of putting many points up the dirty birds aren't going to need any help from us.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

I can't. No way. Much as I'd like to whip them at home (again) in the NFC Championship game of all games, I simply cannot root for them. I'd never get that taste out of my mouth...

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Yes. 100%
Home field adv is usually considered to be a 3 point swing, but when figuring in the Philly weather and our fans it would be more like a 6 point differential.
Def rather have Atlanta in NO than Philly in Philly

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Run games do better in cold weather, snow even better. I'll take Philly. If we did not have a strong run game then no.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

No chance. I would much rather go to Philly.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Hell to the no!

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

We neeed to beat the Vikings.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

True that. Just win!

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Thats against my DNA.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

NEVA!!!!

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Next Question......

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

win and let the cards fall were they may.

clowns in the dome would be huge

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

No!

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

The only time ever was when they played Panthers so we could win the division and I'm still sick to my stomach.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

I would rather play Philly right now. Falcons got better last week and our games will always be close too close sometimes.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

I just can't do it. But in spite of all the injuries, I really do feel good about this team lining up against practically anybody. It's not like we have a truly glaring Jason David-esque Achilles Heel type weakness, that everybody and their grandmother can tee off of and exploit. We seem pretty complete to me. We literally will have a good shot to win, against anybody we might line up and face in the tournament.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

I want to play and beat the Falcons at home. PERIOD.

Would be the best NFC Championship game you could wish for.
Another reason for the Vikings and the Falcons to hate us.
If for some reason the Falcons beat us (which won't happen),
I will pull for them in the Superbowl...





























































TO LOSE!!!!

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

ff, I was one second away from asking Halo to schedule an intervention to address your catnip addiction.

Then I scrolled down.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

I can't. I just can't. I hate Atlanta!!!:argue:

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Well with some of you predicting and wanting us to face Philly then Atl should easily beat Philly?

I will take us playin against ATL in the Dome any day of the week.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

We need to take care of our own business on Sunday.
That being said, I throw up a little bit just thinking of cheering for the Failclowns.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Just playing in the next game makes the opponent irrelevant. I think that whoever it is should fear us. They're probably pining for a VisQueen win.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

No and No

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

So, in other words, we would prefer to travel to the northeast in January and play the number 4 defense in the league rather than play at home against a team we outplayed in one game and dominated in another?

That seems like emotion over logic.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Agree completely.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Surrendering to emotion or applying logic is irrelevant on a message board.

Neither has any bearing, whatsoever, on the outcome of the game.

So, allow me to let my hatred of the Clowns guide my worthless opinion.

Jeez.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Which benefits the team the most?

A home game against Atlanta, or a road game against Philly?

Personally I think beating Philly might be easier.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

If there were a way the falcons could lose twice on Saturday, I'd root for that.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Not me, I'd take my chances with Foles. Atl is 11-6 and poised to make another SB run.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Can't pull for the failclowns but it would be nice to have NFC Championship in the Dome considering I already have tickets. Either way whoever wins between the birds game will be banged up and spent. We just need to take care of our own business.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

True. But no matter what outcome occurs, I'm not going to root for the FailClowns to win. I'll watch the game tomorrow as a neutral observer.

SFIAH

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

in Philly???

Keep our team in our dome... no one is going to beat us there.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

Yes, in Philly. We've done it before (see 2013 NFC playoffs) & we can do it again. Ingram was a beast in that game.

Fast forward to 2018 ... under any circumstances/scenarios do I wish to see Atlanta advance. They are gaining momentum, dangerous at the skill positions and are built to beat us at home.

But right now, let's focus on beating the Vikings :p.

Re: Can we/should we root for the Clowns.
 

No never
