Remaining Schedule: It's Gotten "Easier"

Take the "easier" in the title very lightly. A lot of our remaining opponents lost last weekend (save those on a BYE) but don't be fooled. Each and every last game of this season will be a fight. The injuries are mounting and the competition, though looking less scarier by the week, will want a win against us. The time for complacency has passed. The Falcons either fight until not a man is left standing or they can go ahead and look to next year.

No real changes to the trend of the graph, but the records are getting worse. As far as I can tell, none of our remaining opponents (that were not on a bye) won last weekend save those dastardly Saints.

The real change is in my projected week-of-game opponents' records. Check this out.

Notice how the number of projected winning record opponents has dropped from four to three. After the Jets managed to lose to the Jaguars, I had to change my line of thinking on them. We still get a 1 loss Saints team (thanks to the New England Patriots) and we're still having to face a Philly team that will come into the Dome after winning against the Bears and Redskins

After we face the Giants, we get three straight Dome games. I'm holding out for the crowd to be a key factor in our wins against the Bucs and Eagles. That Saints matchup, though, I dunno. I swear I think we should wear something different for them. The throwback, the all-black alt, maybe just the red helmets. Something to signify the importance of it...

I know

that we are wearing the throwback at least once more this season, but I do not recall for which game. Maybe they can wear the all black.

I wanna say

We wear the throwbacks against the Bucs, but at this point in the season, that sounds like a colossal waste…

Its true. I'm a Falcoholic! I just can't live without Falcohol!

Not much margin for error left

If you kiss off the Saints game as a loss, the Falcons can only afford one additional loss the rest of the year if they’re thinking playoffs. That’s pretty sobering the way they’ve played lately.

WInning Season All Thats Left...

Our focus had better be on trying to have back to back winning seasons… This is a team that whether besieged by injuries or just poor play has run the cart off the road. What really bothers me most are the inconsistencies. Even if we build defensively this offseason, our team MUST find the answer for playing one week and not the next.

And Turner's not even on that list.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I should shutup, I'd probably have 5 or 6 bucks.

Panthers just got away with penalties that killed our game

forget the playoffs just get 9 wins and be done but we will be happier if we get more wins

A bunch of those guys are on IR, though.

And a lot of them are backups, it’s not QUITE as bad as it looks. Still bad, not quite as bad.
