It's worth pointing out that the two teams currently slotted into wil card bids, Detroit and San Francisco, are on bye weeks this week. So is another team in the wild card mix, Arizona. The other team in the hunt, Chicago, plays Green Bay.

A win against the Falcons ties our record with the Lions, puts us a game ahead of the Cardinals, and either ties us with the Bears or puts us a game up (go Packers!). Not sure how the tiebreakers work out.

That would also set us up next week for a chance to not only tie our record with the 49'ers, but go ahead of them with the head-to-head advantage.

Basically, a win against the Falcons puts us dead in the middle of the post-season conversation and puts us in position to jump in the driver's seat. I know every game is a "must win" game but.....

....this is about as must win as it gets.

Yep, we gotta have this game and then at least split the next two.  If we can only pick one, I'd rather beat the 49ers and lose to the Pats rather than the other way around.  At least that way we hand another NFC contender a loss.

 

If we can get to 6-4, then things get really interesting.  If we can't get to at least 6-4, then our goose is probably cooked.

If we win out, we win the division.

 

That's what I'm looking for

 

 

If we win each game left, we will make the playoffs, win the division, win the NFC, win the Super Bowl.

 

It's that simple really, no more losses.

 

 

I vote for this option.  Who do we need to contact to make this happen?

      It's going to take time to really evaluate new ownership. I still have some hopes that they can get us past the curse of the Jordan years. We got screwed over by the league with the lottery yet again, nothing in this draft was ever going to make people happy after that happened.

      The Hornets were screwed when they lost out on the #1 pick. Outside of Cooper Flagg this was a terrible draft class full of risky prospects and red flags. Kon Knueppel likely won't ever be a superstar - or even a star, realistically - but he can be a solid contributor for a long time in the league. That's actually more than I think will end up being the case for many of these players.

      I guess we should disregard what all these places say about our draft? And just trust you guys on this board? And as far as the Mark Williams trade, most places are saying we got the much better end of that trade for what its worth to yall. Bleacher report has Kon a "B", BR has him C+, Fansided A-, NBC Sports overall draft an A-, Sports Illustrated overall A-, MSN has Kon a B+, Yahoo Sports has us at an A- overall. Here is what ESPN posted:  Post-Draft Analysis Knueppel's well-rounded perimeter game and terrific 3-point shooting ultimately won out in Charlotte's decision process, with the Hornets attracted to his fit with their current roster and his long-term potential. He should help stabilize their perimeter minutes immediately, with his dependability all season at Duke a major selling point. The Hornets were thought to be exploring moves here, but were content to simply grab their guy and move forward. This is a strong match that should pay off right away for both sides. -- Jeremy Woo
