Perfect type of game for this team to lay an egg. Hopefully they come out with the same fire I saw yesterday. 

I call BS.

Why

If Atlanta loses tonight and assuming we beat TB we’re essentially locked into the 5th spot and the Saints 4th.

We don’t want to go to NO. Y’all can sit here and pretend like we have a shot in NO but we don’t. 

The Saints will most likely handle the Falcons at home next week but regardless with Seattle losing yesterday we’re basically in the playoffs. We want Atlanta to win the next two so we’re either playing for the division week 17 or can drop down to 6th seed.

6th seed you’re most likely going into LA then Philly, that’s much easier than into NO and Minny.

Even Atlanta wins tonight and loses next Sunday, id prefer we lose to TB. Rams are most likely winning out and they own the head to head with the Saints and so do the Vikes.

To add on, if the Falcons beat NO and TB again and Panthers win against the Bucs, the division crown comes down to 12/31.

When the Panthers and Falcons play. Benefit being Cam playing during primetime where he always excels bc the game would almost undoubtedly be flexed.

I would prefer the Falcons lose to Tampa, then beat NO.  That would be the ideal situation.  With us beating TB of course.

Forget I even jumped in here! 

I think you’re right.

Best chance it’ll get flexed is if it’s a win or go home for each team. 

Probably only three candidates for flex:

Chiefs-Chargers

Panthers-Falcons

Jaguars-Titans

 

Chiefs and chargers have played twice already

Yes, I’m a moron. I don’t think the NFL will have a win or go home game in Week 17, as they usually prefer. 

Best scenario for NBC is ATL wins tonight and next week, and we win next week, and the Week 17 game is for the division.

Yea, I’d really like to avoid NO at all costs as well. I’d be down for this

I don't care an out seeding to be honest. We've played well on the road this year. Just get in and whip all comers.

The only team I don't like on the road is the saints , which were probably going to be matched up against in the wild card . 

We lost pretty handily both times we faced the saints , the only real advantage we have is we already played them twice and should have a decent grasp at their tendencies. But the main problem is we simply haven't been able to stop their run game at all .

It looks likely we get a third matchup with new Orleans or Atlanta in the playoffs.  Would be crazy to play Atlanta two consecutive weeks but may happen.

Could even be back to back weeks in the dome

Part of me just wants Atlanta to lose out. Even if that means NO wins the division. Because fug them, that’s why.

I would rather see the Saints lose out and miss the play offs while Carolina wins the Division and get a 1st round bye

The last senario I did had us at the Rams in LA and then the Cowboys at the Saints at the Superdome for the NFC wild card matchups, Eagles and Vikings have the 1 and 2 seeds 

Its really hard to see the Vikings losing any more games , its looking like their game against us was a fluke and mostly result of them being on a long ass road trip of games. They round out the season probably facing a rodger-less packers team with not much to play for, then playing the Bears who probably dont stand a chance.

I think the Falcons will drop one either to Saints or Bucs, then we'll beat them in the last game , that'll put them at 7 losses and below Dallas if the Cowboys win out at 10-6.  I think Detroit and Seattle will lose at least 1 more game, leaving Dallas as the most likely candidate to get that #6 seed .
