Atlanta 21-20.

If we lose the division to them, but make the playoffs, NO and ATL will play each other in the first round while we head West to LA. I’ll take our chances there

If Atlanta lose this game and we win against Tampa, we'll be at 5 and travel to NO if they stay at 4. 4 vs 5 and 3 vs 6. If Saints keep winning and Rams lose out, then yeah at 5 we'll play Rams at 4

Atlanta might not want to lose, they have quite a few teams on their heels

I would much rather play the Rams than the Saints.  I do not know how good we actually are.  I do not know how good the Rams actually are.  I do not know how good the Saints actually are.  I am completely convinced however that the Saints are a terrible match-up for us.

I don't want to play them in the dome again cause I expect flat out cheating from the refs, but man I honestly can't imagine losing to them 3 times in one season.

Honestly dont know enough about either team.  If the falcons that showed up Monday night show up Sunday, they will lose and lose bad.  I hope Atlanta wins, but probably wont

Saints didn’t look very good at home against the Jets either...

Yeah the Saints are a nightmare matchup because:

A.) Our d-line, especially KK, can't do poo against their upgraded o-line pass rushing wise. That means Brees has all the time he needs.

B.) We're just too slow in the secondary and they'll spread us out and get the matchups they want which leads to tons of YAC.

C.) We don't have an explosive offense and we're not good trying to play catch up.

D.) We can't bully the Saints defense and sit out there all day eating up the clock. We'll lose the time of possession battle.

The Saints are the last team in the NFL I'd want this Panthers team to face. We can't rough them up, and we can't out finesse them. They're a SB level team.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
