I'm not sure where that would put us as far as HFA, but Chicago is the closest team to us as far as HFA is concerned. They have a seriously tough schedule ahead of them, starting this Sunday against the Patriots.

First, we need to beat the Panties and Seahawks.

Also, we need the Eagles, Bears and Saints to lose any game before kick off against the Saints on Monday Night for the game to be meaningless.

Besides, I don't want the Saints to even think they can come into the dome and win in the playoffs.

Oh i don't disagree, I just worry about winning that game and then meeting them for a third time...I will have to do some research but there are not man times that a team has beat someone twice in the regular season and the playoffs too!....

We win those 3 games the Saints game means nothing. What the Saints do means nothing. New Orleans can win out and it wouldn't matter. Via tie breaking procedures, we would be awarded the 3rd tiebreaker in common games. Odds are 3-1 gets us the #1 seed and home field advantage as well.

The Saints game is arguably the least important game left on our schedule. We have an amazing opportunity.

I always enjoy your posts, mostly because they tend to put a common-sense spin on things. But this one is just dead wrong. A head-to-head win over your closest division competitor puts them a game farther back. The same can't be said about any of the other three games.

Talk about taking the long road to the top.

I'd rather just sweep the Saints, put them a game back, and win a game or two more to ensure us of HFA.

You can't really say that a loss to a division rival who is only a game back is no big deal, especially a loss at home.

Teams that have been in that situation are 11-7.

Heck, let's just win them all.
Their all equally important in my book.

However, we could set ourselves up to lose games on purpose to stop us from facing philly first. Jk

Give me a f'n break!

One week at a time!

We play Carolina IN Carolina this week. The weather forecast calls for 60% chance of rain and temps in the 40's.

nuff said.

Some Falcons fans are so analytical and very intelligent. However, what is needed is "lick finger, write kick Panthers azz, proceed"!

And continue.

I'm spending like a grand between travel from DC, hotel, and tickets for the MNF game. We better fucking win that game. We need to sweep those motherfuckers.
