Falcons: Welcome to Playoffs Friends

[Xanthri]

14 if SF CHI and GB drop a game or two.....

right now 14-2 gets us #1 seed for sure.....since SF can only finish 13-2-1

If SF drops a game I believe we have the tiebreaker over Bears for 13-3 (though I am hoping GB puts another loss under their belt)

Most likely scenario is SF will lose to NE, but will win out otherwise as they have a bunch of creampuffs left with the possible exception of the Seahawks. (that said they could also lose to the Rams or miami if those teams get a bit of luck) Realistically they will lose 1 and win 4....so 12-3-1

Bears have GB and SEA but their other games while not easy should be wins lets say they will end up 12-4

13-3 will likely win #1 spot....but 14-2 definitely gets it Week 16 or 17.....

15 is possible but lots must happen and I don't think we would know it until the last week....we can get the #1 seed with 12-4 provided we beat the Giants and the Bears and 49ers stumble a bit....

I don't see 11-5 winning a #1 seed (but I also don't see us dropping 4 games...)

I think we have 2 easier games (CAR/DET) and two tougher games (NYG/TB) honestly I think all are important...I don't want to lose to TB even if we have #1 seed locked up if it means that they make the playoffs....

CAR playing a bit tougher now....
DET should have beat Texans and we will have to watch out for Suh and injuries
NYG we need to beat after they embarrassed us in playoffs (we also should see this as another hurdle game)
TB (we may be the difference rather they make the last playoff spot or not.....and it may be a factor in deciding who gets the number 6 seed.....this game depends on which opponent we think has a better chance of spoiling either #3 or #4 in the first round of playoffs.....)

I think we just have to go one game at a time and play well enough to win
