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.

    • It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.
    • Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.
    • Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
