Will you root for the Falcons?

I never thought I'd do it but I want a prime time game next week or at the very least, a competitive, meaningful Week 17 game for us. If the Falcons lose to the Saints, the latter locks up the division and will likely rest their starters like they did against us in '09. By starters, I mean Drew Brees. If you want a prime time game, these are stuff you should be rooting for this week:

- I could be wrong but the Cowboys/Giants aren't eligible to compete again on SNF since they already have done so. But if they are, root for a Cowboys win and a Giants loss.

- Root for the Detroit Lions to win, which would lock them up a playoff spot and make their Week 17 game against Greenbay meaningless for both sides. This would also eliminate Seattle and Arizona and takes San Diego out of postseason contentions. I guess you can also root for a Denver win, which I think locks the division up for them.

- A Bengals loss. This combined with a Giants loss gives the Jets the wildcard considering the Bengals certainly won't beat them in SOS.

- A San Fransisco loss as obviously if we are rooting for a Saints loss, a 49ers loss would at least give them more reason to continue fighting as the #2 seed would still be on the line.

I'm pretty sure that is it, leaving us as the only viable prime time option with the Saints fighting for the division and number two seed and of course, Cameron Newton.

Actually, just checked, we play at 1 PM but could be moved to 4:15. Ah well. No prime time glory for us. But I still want the Falcons to win. I don't want a useless last Panthers game.

Yes, I'm sadly rooting for the Falcons. Wifey has Matty Ice and Roddy White and she's playing in the Championship in our Fantasy League... $250 on the line. I went 11-2 and then SHE bounced me out of the playoffs. Sad but true.

Go Falcons!

I don't really want the taints to win another SB, so the harder the rd they have to travel the better. I think that the Saints should beat that a$$, but I'm hoping for an upset.

Hell no

this.

The Saints are already in the playoffs. There's still a shot the Falcons could miss out, and that would make me too happy. So, if I have to choose between the two, I'm going with the Saints. I just cant stand the falcons. I hope Matt Ryan goes out there and has his worst performance of the season.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
