Falcons vs Seahawks Monday Night Thread

who are we pulling for?

I haven't looked into the particulars, but I don't think we want the Falcons to win. They aren't out of division race and are right in the mix for the wild card . 

There's a feasable situation where both the Falcons and Panthers make it in as wild cards and the Saints also make it in as the division winner. 

Take for example , if both teams win out until we face eachother in the last game of the season, we would be 12-3 and they would be 11- 4. If they win the final game, that makes both of us 12 - 4 . We split the series, but we would have more NFC losses , so I think tiebreakers would have them being ahead of us in any sort of playoff seeding or divisional placement which is a problem. And this is all assuming we win out for the rest of the season until that game.

I honestly think the Saints are going to be in for a rude ass awakening by the time they start playing these late season divisional games. Atlanta still has Super Bowl level talent and they're starting to gell in the 2nd half of the season. Our running game is coming alive and Cam's starting to feel it. And the Bucs just are probably due for a late season upset.

Seahawks, as Atlanta is a far bigger threat to us.  But I doubt they win. 

not really.

seahawks are in the way for a wildcard, so the more they lose the better. 

atlanta isn't a threat unless we let them be. we're comfortably fine with them winning.

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
