This is the BIG week - insanefalconfan - 09-20-2010 02:13 PM
This week we are going to New Orleans to play the Aints. I believe and I bet most people here will agree that we will be facing the Zebras as well so I am seeing Career game by Ryan/White/Decoud/Bierman in a big win for us to ride and go on a big winning streak.........But that is my Opinion anyone agree?

I don't think that winning this game is critical for the Falcons, but I do think that it is critical for their psyche that they compete.
It's a real advantage for the Falcons to get this game with New Orleans coming of a Monday Night Game on the west coast.
It doesn't really get much more favorable than that. Let's hope the birds can capitalize.

That is probably the biggest of a ton of schedling breaks we have this year. I will hunt down a thread I posted on that topic from the OMB. ... because I know everyone is dissapointed to have missed it.

I pretty much agree with all of this. Not critical to win but critical to compete at a high level.

When has beating a division rival stopped being critical to win?

Well when I use the word "critical", I mean it's extremely damaging to playoff chances to lose a game. I don't think that is true of this game.
But for the sake of winning the division, yeah, it probably qualifies as critical.
I feel like....with the way the schedule sets up, the Falcons or the Saints are going to be a Wild Card, unless one of them completely drops the ball.

Totally agree... It's very important that we win this game and every division rival match up!

Along the lines of what Peyton said, winning this game would be huge for us. Going up 2-1 and having the Saints 2-1 or 1-2(depending on what happens tonight) would be a huge statement by this team to the Saints as well as the rest f the division.
HOWEVER, not losing this game would not be the end of the world IF we compete. If we get drummed 27-7 on Sunday, that's not good at all. If we lose 27-21; having made a game of it. That says a lot about our team going on the road and taking the Super Bowl Champions down to the wire.

Man Im amping for this game already
RE: This is the BIG week - Radical - 09-20-2010 06:24 PM
It would be huge if we win this game, but I have no reasons to believe that the season will be near going down the drain if we lose this one.
