The path to Super Bowl 52 might run through Charlotte

EDITED

Our only chance to host a playoff game is if Atlanta wins out. If they win next week and we win against the Saints (a tall order to be sure), we play the Vikings and they play Philly. If we both win, the NFC Championship runs through Charlotte.

Beating the Saints is our priority, of course, and if we can't beat them once in three games that's pretty bad. If we beat them, we play a decimated Philadelphia team.

What about the other bracket? It's Atlanta at LA, then the winner of that against a good Minnesota team.

If Atlanta wins both of those games, the NFC Championship game is back in Charlotte. A revenge match to end all revenge matches. I think we can do it.

We play the Vikings if the Falcons win.  And if the Falcons don't win, then it would be impossible for a playoff game to be played in Charlotte.

So yeah.

Eh, I see very little chance Atlanta makes it past either let alone both. They could barely outmuscle our putrid offense at home. The Rams are going to destroy the Falcons defense.

Falcons defense has been top 10 this year.   Rams offense destroying the Falcons defense is not a given. Nobody on the Rams has any playoff experience either.

Less worried about our defense (which has been good this season) than our misfiring offense (banged up interior OL in particular) against Aaron Donald and friends. Matt Ryan is gonna need some IcyHot.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
