Don't forget that catch that shouldn't have been by Gonzalez, which would have forced a punt.

You don't have to answer, just think about it.
Honestly. If this was the Saints we were talking about, is there no chance you would respond with something to the effect of "No matter what, this team just finds a way to win"?

Having been around for a while, it's hard not to feel a little sympathy for the Bucs fans and Falcons fans, especially the Bucs. These teams in the past were almost as bad as the Saints used to be. It's hard for me to just sport-trash the Falcons.
How good are the Falcons this year? I thought GB was going take them down. They look awfully good in all major areas and Smith is a top notch coach. Right now, they have SB appearance written all over them.
How much of this is talent and how much is confidence? What will happen if they fall on the road. How will this impact their confidence? We can play ostrich, but they are quite real and Ryan is money in the clutch. Lots of times it takes a QB a few times to get their cool under playoff pressure before they are ready to lead a SB team. We will see with Ryan.
We have a huge task in front of this. I don't think we make it to the SB if we have to play in cold weather twice in the playoffs. I guess we just have to run the table. Just two obstacles in the way: Ravens in the cold and the Falcons in their dome who are 19-1 with Ryan.
Honestly, I probably wouldn't.
This board went nuts when we beat the Seahawks by 15. I think most of the fans here realize it's not a good thing to live on the edge all season. All it takes it one slip up in the playoffs and you are done. At some point I think the Falcons need to start winning a little more convincingly to have a real shot at the superbowl in my opinion.
That's not to say they don't do well the rest of the regular season, but in the playoffs they'll have to face some really good teams. Perhaps even facing the Eagles team that drubbed them earlier in the year. Something will have to give.
Why should a discussion of the quality of our strongest divisional opponent go BTL? This seems like a more sensible topic than most on the SSF. And we don't get to say that about Swimmer's threads very often.
No offense, Swimmer.
They have no deep threat besides White, which doesn't run deep routes.
All they do is throw check downs.
They have a really big legged running back that people can't seem to catch. < Don't understand.
They've beat good teams, so they must be good?
People said the same thing about the Saints last year and we did. Just saying....
