Home team....in the Superbowl! - Xanthri - 12-08-2010 12:37 PM
I know it isn't the Georgia Dome...but I thought it is an interesting piece of trivia that should we arrive at the Superbowl 45 in Dallas.....we would be considered the HOME team.....
So home field throughout the playoffs and the superbowl!
So technically it is a home game and by default we should win!
I thought a little wishful thinking was important today!

Don't forget, it's also in a dome. With Ryan as our QB, we are 22-5 in domes (including playoffs).

I like our chances....though I just want to concentrate on pounding CAR this week and SEA next week.....we win those two games we will have the number one seed very much in hand no matter what happens with NO....Though I would love to see them lose to both the RAMS and BAL....then with a win we could put them in danger on not making the playoffs! (though they will most likely be in)

I think its safe to say the Pats will represent the AFC in the SB. If we get there, there will be more Falcon fans than New Englanders. It will be Southern Football

i don't think ANY AFC team is truly safe. nor is any NFC team, but I think you are correct that it will likely be NE representing for the AFC (funny thing is all those teams beat each other in some way shape or form.) Right now on NFC side on Philly has beat us from the NFC though there have been some close calls.
I do think it is interesting to note that if Philly loses to Dallas once (which I think is possible) and NYG (not so sure but never know) they may on the outside looking in.....
i was playing with the playoff machine and just put in a few possible upsets....and there could be some interesting matchups out there....
though it is tough to find ways to eliminate NO/Philly/ and GB.....guess we will have to do it the old fashion way
