A Look Ahead and the Bleak Prospect

We're facing the Philadelphia Eagles minus our wunderkind QB. There's not much else to say, really.

Eagles_medium 

Philadelphia Eagles
Where: Georgia Dome
When: Sunday December 6th, 2009 @ 1:00pm
Network: FOX
Why: Because Eagles and Falcons are natural enemies.

Importance: Serious Business. Duh, again

Notes: No Matt Ryan. Perhaps no Turner. Perhaps no Baker or Dahl either. What did we do to deserve this?

The Falcons win if: Matt Ryan's turf toe mysteriously heals the morning of game day.

The Eagles win if: they realize we've secretly replaced our secondary with Oompa Loompas.

Prediction: Falcons lose.

New Orleans Saints 2: The Season Definer
Where: Georgia Dome
When: Sunday December 13th, 2009 @ 1:00pm
Network: FOX
Why: Divisional Game

Importance: Serious Business. 

Notes: If we win this, I will do a backflip off a moving truck and upload it onto YouTube.

The Falcons win if: a miracle occurs.

The Saints win if: their bus doesn't break down on the way to Atlanta.

Prediction: Falcons lose.

New York Jets 
WhereGiants Stadium
When: Sunday December 20th, 2009 @ 1:00pm
Network: FOX
Why: Because New Yorkers couldn’t get enough of us the first go round against the Giants.

Importance: Serious Business

Notes: Really, really, really hoping the crappy Sanchez shows up. Also, hope we show up as well.

Prediction: Falcons lose

Bills_medium

Buffalo Bills
Where: Georgia Dome
When: Sunday December 27th, 2009 @ 1:00pm
Network: CBS
Why: The Bills aren't looking too good. Uh oh...

Importance: Serious Business

Notes: Even mediocre QBs look awesome against our defense. But hopefully, the Bills are in such turmoil that they won't notice that.

Prediction: Falcons win.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers With a Vengeance
Where: Raymond James Stadium
When: Sunday January 3rd, 2009 @ 1:00pm
Network: FOX
Why: Divisional Game

Importance: Serious Business
