Can someone explain how the Falcons can win the division?

I don't understand the NFC South division race right now. If we lose to the Saints and the Falcons win against the Rams, how do the Falcons win the NFC South? What tie breaker do they have over us? We have more points for and if we do lose to the Saints, we will have the same division record and the same overall record. Our head to head is 1-1 so how will they win the NFC South? I'm confused on that one.

I believe they will have a better conference record than us by 1 game which would give them the division.

this is incorrect. If we lose and they win, we both have the same 3-3 division record. We are currently 3-2 in the nfc south, they are 3-3. So read this for the rules

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).

Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

Strength of victory.

Strength of schedule.

Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

Best net points in common games.

Best net points in all games.

Best net touchdowns in all games.

We'd be 7-5 and they'd be 8-4 given that we lose and they win.

So, if record versus common opponents supersedes conference record, where does ATL have us beat? I know they beat the Vikings who we lost to, bu we beat Denver who they lost to. We would have both split with Tampa and the Saints. I guess this tie-breaker would then be moot, causing the conference record to come into play.

it would be our loss to the vilings and their win against the vikes that would put the dagger through our heart. lets hope we just come out and play solid defense. I think our offense will be ok. Our D has been giving up a lot recently, especially our run D, Im not talking about just the giants game,

Denver is in the afc, vikes are nfc, tie breaker comes down to record against nfc teams, we would be at 7-5 with a loss and if atl wins they would be at 8-5, atl would win the division

here is a better question.....How can the Carolina Panthers somehow be invisible to the AP and the Falcons be the second coming of Jesus Christ?

The press is giving the same attention to Miami....two teams that sucked last year and are going to the playoffs this year :rolleyes:

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
