Falcons off-season thread - Page 258

Finally destroy a bad team on the road. This is locked up.

So we only have to win 1 of the next 2 to guarantee homefield in the playoffs or have a loss by the Eagles/Saints.

And did I forget to emntion we play Carolina at home last game of the year. HAHA, thank you Baltimore

Yay stat padding! Now let's get Curtis a million tackles, and Abe a sack.

Neither. Just interesting, we're just waiting for that contract to run up.

Holy **** we're getting killed by Whitehurt.

Bosanac01 · 12-20-2010, 04:18 AM

We just played the last road game until the superbowl. What a great feeling this is.

As I change the thread title for the 16th time in as many weeks, I notice a matchup I mentally highlighted before the season. I figured then that this game would bear huge significance in our final standing upon the NFC South. Standings don't mean anything for us anymore. This game is only to punch the Saints in the face and tell them we own this ****!!!

Roddy should break the falcons receptions record!!

Winning this one will keep our momentum going into the playoffs. It will be nice resting our starters against the Panthers as well.

ATLDirtyBirds · 12-20-2010, 05:24 AM

Yeah. While this game isn't nearly as important as we expected, it'd still be nice to get that W, and get the starters out after a quarter or so against Carolina.

Draft King · 12-20-2010, 11:01 AM

We are pretty much awesome.

ATLDirtyBirds · 12-20-2010, 11:43 AM

We'll probably lose this week though.

ATLDirtyBirds · 12-20-2010, 12:05 PM

Also, wow. I was just thinking about our CB play this year as opposed to last. Dunta and Grimes have been fantastic. We just need another pass rusher and Spoon being able to take over full time next year, and we are ******* set.

BamaFalcon59 · 12-20-2010, 01:13 PM

I want to lose this week in a shootout, that way Roddy still has reason to come out and put up numbers in week 17.

120 receptions, 1500 yards, 10 touchdowns would be sick.

ATLDirtyBirds · 12-20-2010, 02:03 PM

I also wouldn't mind a loss for the sheer fact that it'd be a kick in the ass and a reminder that we just can't walk into the Superbowl because we have home field. Plus going in with a 10 game winning streak would make me think we are bound to slip up just due to the laws of averages.

dunagan15 · 12-20-2010, 02:29 PM

I want to ******* steamroll the Saints. Really hope we can play a complete game in all aspects and put no doubt that the NFC is ours to lose.

Oh, and then get to rest the starters for 2 weeks. Every1 fresh.

I would want to win for the sheer fact that it's the saints and it's monday night.

ATLDirtyBirds · 12-20-2010, 05:23 PM

Obviously I'm rooting for a victory above all else, but I'm pretty sure I won't rage if we lose, haha.

I am with ATL on this one. A win would be awesome, but I wouldn't want to ride a 10 game winning streak to the playoffs. Look at what happens to the Chargers every year.

you do realise that the baltimore win over us didnt do anything with regards to what you guys had to do to get homefield right?

if you guys wouldve lost to us and won against caroline you would still have home field. The guy you should be thanking is garrett hartley

Doesn't it make it much easier? Baltimore win did help.

Difference is that we can now lose vs NO and tie vs CAR and still win the division rather than lose vs NO and win vs CAR and still get the division.

Pretty minimal, but not nil.

Bosanac01 · 12-20-2010, 08:18 PM

If we lost to NO, it would make Carolina a must win. It no longer is.

Draft King · 12-20-2010, 08:47 PM

We really need to pad Roddy's stats next game. Some Packers fans talking trash in the other thread.

Bosanac01 · 12-20-2010, 09:40 PM

We beat the **** out of the packers. So I'll keep at that.

yes it is, sorry but the only difference is that you can tie a game compared to us

Bosanac01 · 12-21-2010, 12:31 PM

Let's hope Brent Grimes isn't just playing well because it's his contract year. He's getting money this offseason. Our CBs will really get paid.

Pretty sure Blalock, Clabo, and Dahl are all FAs this year too.
