NFL: Go Dallas!

[RockHoward]

I am a Falcons fan from the day the franchise was announced and so, of course, I absolutely loathe the Cowboys. However I currently live in Austin and a Falcons playoff game in Dallas would be fine by me since I don't enjoy flying these days. A 2 hour drive up I-35 and I am so there! Would anyone else make that game?

I guess I could live with the Saints stumbling their last 2 games and opening the door for a Birdz home game or two, but that is really unlikely and so a date in Dallas would be a fine consolation prize. I think the Falcons can take them out too!

I think we can/should too, but I must admit I fear the thought of Brooking gloating after having done little. That and I still remember 1980 when the clearly better team lost.

Clearly revenge for 1980 would be front and center in my mind too!

I haven't recovered from my last Dallas playoff game when Danny White was born.

The Falcons can clinch a playoff spot before we even play the saints on Monday nightif....
The Bengals beat the Cardinals
&
the Eagles beat the Cowboys
&
the Packers beat the Bears

All of these are easily possible, so no, don't "go Dallas"

We can clinch with that same scenario if you swap out Dallas losing for Giants losing to the Jets.

Why not hope for them all and leave no doubt. Personally, Im hopeful that all teams in the playoff discussion lose except the Seahawks, I lived for a little while in Seattle, and it is an amazing city, so I've always had a soft spot for the Falcons of the pacific northwest. I also think it would be hilarious if the only team to go to the playoffs with a losing record, was able to make it back in the following year, and hey, maybe they will play the Saints again.

I'm just hoping we take care of our own business on Monday night and we don't have to worry about what anybody else does.

True, but I really wanna go into that game clinched. You never know how the third team(zebras) in the game is gonna play, This is a series that has seen alot of questionable calls going both ways.

And don't forget, we have the refs in our pockets.
