I don’t see the falcons winning, but they won’t lay down against Tampa. I’d expect Thursdays game to be close until the end. 
 

I am really worried about us against the Saints. These NFC South games can go either way, and I don’t trust Bryce; especially against New Orleans. 

I agree here. 

Falcons won't lay down. Tampa SHOULD win. However, it is a short week and both teams need this game to be played different ways. Tampa needs to have time to scheme and keep this game fast paced, Atlanta needs this to be a physical heavy run slobberknocker which is more likely to happen with just 3 days. Keep in mind, Raheem should probably be fired tomorrow but won't be because it's a short week, he can save some grace and coach for his job Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised to see him be super aggressive on calls all night. 

I worry about the Saints as well. I really hope our week of rest to get healthy and realign focus outweighs the risk of us getting lazy again. Hopefully, the last time we played them was a wake up call and they come in motivated and pissed off to prove a point. However, the Saints are having fun shitting on everyone and I would not be surprised if it was a repeat.

Somehow I feel us and the Bucs will both find a way to lose.

It’s that week off that concerns me. Bryce and this team need to keep it going. It’s also why if best case scenario happens, and Tampa falters with us clenching early, I’m not giving any breaks/rest. Bryce will keep playing. The offense will keep playing. I might would give the defense some rest, but the offense is way too inconsistent for that

No matter what, it should always be remembered, the mascot is a black cat.

Anyone else just happy to be playing meaningful football in December.  For the last few years, we have been in tank mode before Thanksgiving.

I still can't believe it. I'm in a state of shock that they have managed to get this far and still have a shot at the playoffs. I'll take it though and hopefully it's a sign of better things to come.
