That's why I'd rather play them this week. Also, if we don't beat them regardless, it will pretty much mean a non playoff season, and we don't really deserve playoffs if we can't take those teams out.

The Falcs have to win the Jaguars, Tenn, Indy, Minn type games definitely so they can afford to lose 2 of 4 to NO, NO, HOU, TB.

Weird team to watch this year.

I have an uneasy feeling about this Colts game, esp. on their home field. My fear is the team is going to walk in there thinking "easy win", and if we do that we will be embarassed and be the team that gave the Colts their 1st win of the season. Ive seen it happen too many times.

And I think our record coming off bye-weeks kind of sucks.

I all seriousness, the bye has been a bust this year under the new CBA. Players are mandated to get four consecutive days off and can only practice three days in pads. I heard the numbers for the year but I can't remember exactly, but bye teams are losing more than winning.

How often have we lost to bad teams under Mike Smith? I see no reason to go into this game nervous.
