And as much as I like the Falcons, the idea of them beating the Saints and the Eagles in consecutive weeks is something I'm not confident with. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 14, 12:04 21
- I think the Saints are currently the favorites in the NFC, but I'm putting a lot of weight on the "they've been there before" factor right now. -- nm - Dano Dec 14, 12:07 1
  - I believe that the Saints are as capable of repeating as any team in recent memory, but it all hinges on their running game, which is getting healthy. -- nm - David Dec 14, 12:12
- I'm not going to worry about anybody until we see how the seedings shake out. Right now, Seattle then New Orleans is what matters. -- nm - David Dec 14, 12:06 18

        There are a *lot* of big games this week. - Spawn Dec 14, 12:38
      - The Jags have to win their division to get in. The question becomes how much Peyton's force of will can impact the Colts down the stretch. -- nm - David Dec 14, 12:31
  - [deleted] 2
    - That's right but it is a message game for either team. -- nm - David Dec 14, 12:11 1
      - [deleted]
  - Play for that #1 seed, and hope the Saints/Eagles will knock each other out - Strongbad Dec 14, 12:07 6
    - What I worry about the most is that this is a team that has avoided turnovers and penalties. Things like that have a way of evening out. -- nm - David Dec 14, 12:12 5
      - Penalties and maybe injuries I could see. I don't see turnovers coming up to bite Atlanta. - Jim Dec 14, 12:44
      - and major injuries -- nm - Strongbad Dec 14, 12:17 1
        
        The only player on the Falcons I think is irreplaceable is Roddy White. This is a very deep team. - David Dec 14, 12:25
      - this is my worry with the Pats... - Mel Profit Dec 14, 12:15 1
        
        Exactly. It seems like every season we see that game where a team dominant in TO differential has 4 giveaways and loses. - David Dec 14, 12:22
  - the Falcons will crush Seattle -- nm - crash davis Dec 14, 12:07 2
    - Having watched Seattle Sunday, I fully expect to win, but they're long overdue to have a bad game. - David Dec 14, 12:10
    - A falcon vs a seahawk would be a good battle. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 12:08
Oh yeah, TFox...this should make you feel MUCH better. -- (link) - Jim Dec 14, 12:03 [Backboard] 8
- BWAHAHA! -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 12:07
- that'll definitely leave a bad taste in his mouth. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 12:04 6
  - he should just swallow it down -- nm - crash davis Dec 14, 12:05 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - he needs to take it all in and then deal with it. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 14, 12:07
      - leave TFox alone! -- nm - pixmas, awesome secret stalker Dec 14, 12:07 2
        
        he's been licked. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 14, 12:08 1
        
        He looks adversity right in the face though and deals with whatever is presented to him. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 12:28
If the Playoffs started today, the Packers would be #8 in the NFC with an 8-5 record -- nm - Strongbad Dec 14, 12:02
*checking...* -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 12:01 3
- 90 seconds in the box! -- nm - NHL Ref Dec 14, 12:07
