Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Atlanta Falcons-Tampa Bay Buccaneers Open Thread

With the Detroit Lions winning but only narrowly over the Green Bay Packers, this one could suddenly matter. A lot.

The New Orleans Saints sealed up the third spot in the NFC, so a Falcons loss today would ensure Atlanta heads back to the Super Dome to play the team that has tormented them in 2011. In my opinion, that would be somewhat less than ideal.

It's time for the Falcons to buck up and play a full game of football, beat an inferior opponent and lock up a game against the winner of the NFC East. That game, contrary to my earlier post, isn't until later tonight. Either way, it's a better early matchup than the Saints.As much as I'd like to see the Falcons rest their starters, it's not gonna happen this week.

So let's hope the Falcons come out of the gates swinging, win this game and get a decent matchup for the divisional rounds of the playoffs. It'd enjoy that.

GO FALCONS!

How interesting is it

that all of us including myself rip the Falcons, but we see the Saints score 40 pluse on the Panthers and the Panthers can’t score anymore.
And Buffalo can’t score after going up 21-0 with 49 unanswered.

So maybe it’s they way all coaches play.

by brotherbrown on Jan 1, 2012 3:56 PM EST reply actions  

I say let's play the Saints

We’re acting like this wasn’t going to happen anyway. Are we so down on this team and lacking so much confidence in them that we want an “easier” opponent?

Atlanta will win a championship....someday

by maxxj3 on Jan 1, 2012 3:58 PM EST reply actions  

every team wants an "easier" opponent

last year I remember a number of people hoping Philly would beat GB so that we’d play the Seahawks. Nothing wrong with hoping for a matchup that plays better to Atlanta’s strengths/weakness/intangibles.

by falconnuke on Jan 1, 2012 4:01 PM EST up reply actions  

but what if the Giants or Cowboys aren't an "easier" opponent

then if we lose to them….we say “we shouldn’t played the Saints because we are more familiar.” when in fact that’s the thing we have on them in the first place

Atlanta will win a championship....someday

by maxxj3 on Jan 1, 2012 4:11 PM EST up reply actions  

but the thing that NO has on ATL

is they know everything ATL’s going to do, and know they can beat them.

It doesnt matter who we play

If we dont execute we wont win

by pierre02 on Jan 1, 2012 4:14 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Dallas/New York is an easier matchup

we could lose to them but if we did and people then say they wished they played New Orleans then they are just reacting foolishly

by jmpecker on Jan 1, 2012 4:20 PM EST up reply actions  

I know it seems like the cowardly way out

But the Giants and Cowboys are, compared to the Saints, complete messes right now. I want to play the team that gives the Falcons the best chance to win.

Of course, I’ve been wrong before.

Not everyone is

I’ll freely admit I’m scared to death of the Saints right now. We may have to play regardless, but I’d rather see them square off against an easier team.

I want playoff wins and a Super Bowl. I’ll take whatever road they need to take to get there.

RE: Saints running up the score...

Saints kneeled four plays today inside the Carolina 15, and gave them the ball back with 36 seconds still on the clock. That’s NOT running up the score. And we’d have done the same thing to you if you’d have just conceded the game and punted. You brought it on yourself by going for it. Did you REALLY think you could score 22 points in 3 minutes?

I hope you get past DAL/NYG and GB. I’d love to give you another shot at us. You’ve beaten us twice since 2005. We’re not afraid.

Did anyone catch how Gronkowski passed Jimmy Graham to get the record?

Instead of taking a knee on first down, they threw a quick pass to Graham and gained 22 yards to give him the record. They proceeded to take three consecutive knees after that. First example of karma for the Saints, Graham doesn’t get his record. I love it.

This is just food for thought and discussion,

What do you all think?

I’m not sure coach Sean Payton really needed to play his starters into the fourth quarter. San Francisco had a big lead on St. Louis and the Saints were winning easily. That’s two weeks in a row where it can at least be perceived that Payton was running up the score against a division opponent. That could come back to haunt him in the long term.

No issue with him wanting to get the record out the way the more I've thought about it

And no issue with him keeping starters in when there’s still something to play for, seeing how close the Rams actually got. But I agree he runs up scores and I hope it haunts him in the end, yes.

If Tony G wins a ring with the Falcons does he go in the HOF a Falcon or Chief?

I’m going Falcons.

Chief

He’d have to be a superbowl MVP for it to sway to the Falcons. He was just that good at the Chiefs.

The question is... How do they perform after halftime

No doubt the HC is going to tell them if they don’t play hard in the second half, he will be fired before the end of the game. Will that motivate them to do better, or continue at their pace?

Hey Falcoholics.

As happy as I am to be winning this game like all of you, I want you ALL to know that “bragging” about this “blowout” is NOT good. TB is a below .500 team. Just like Jacksonville was when we beat them. So until we can put up 45 points on teams like N.O., and GB, then gloating over beating TB is a moot point. Just my opinion.
