Falcons made the playoffs...

[quickdodge®]

Since "da Bears" got beat last night, the Falcons are now in as, at least, a wild card team. As much as I'd like, I don't see Atlanta beating New Orleans tonight so I'm sure they will remain a WC team. Unless they can play Dallas/NY Giants (and maybe even San Francisco) in the first round, I don't see them going any further. Later, QD.

NFC is the class of the NFL this season, gonna be hard to do anything on that side of the bracket. Even the Lions are a difficult opponent!

[B18c1Turboed]

Please they didn't loose to saint that bad last time. By a field goal in overtime. They have been getting better thru the season. I think they got a awesome chance.

[quickdodge®]

I think they got a awesome chance.

Of course they have a chance. It'll either be Julio Jones or the defense that loses it for the Falcons. With NO's potent offense and Atlanta's shaky, inconsistent defense, I just don't see it. Of course I want it be, though. Later, QD.

45-16 LOL

Falcons are bust. They'll not recover this season. They will lose first game easy.

Saints vs packers /niners will be hell of a game.

[Sinfix_15]

how in the holy hell did the Saints lose to the Rams and Bucs?

[Vteckidd]

They play bad on the road in non domes.

They'll get killed by greenbay or San Francisco

[Sinfix_15]

Patriots vs Packers in the superbowl.

when its all said and done and the smoke clears.... everyone will know. Tom Brady > Aaron Rodgers.

.......... or the defense that loses it for the Falcons. With NO's potent offense and Atlanta's shaky, inconsistent defense, I just don't see it.

Told you so. Later, QD.

After looking over the standings and if I have my facts straight, the Falcons will play either the Saints or the 49ers in their first outing. The Lions will play either the Cowboys or Giants. If Atlanta ends up beating the Saints/49ers, they will play, the following week, 49ers/Saints. Basically, the Falcons will have to go through the Saints, 49ers and Packers to get the big dance. Later, QD.

I'm starting to wonder where the blame for Atlanta's lack of success should be placed. So much talent on both sides of the ball(yes, even on defense) and they just can't get it done. Still love my Falcons though, and I do think our first round matchup will be a good one if Atlanta can just execute.

Atlanta has a brilliant team. They just can't get everyone to execute together for games on a consistent basis. They have the talent to be a New Orleans or Green Bay. I don't know why they don't have that glue to hold them all together.

The only chance for at least one win is if they play the 49ers in the first round. We'll see, I guess.

The good thing is is that up until 2009, Atlanta had never had back to back winning seasons. They are now assured of 4 straight winning seasons with 3 of these last 4 seasons having playoff appearances. Also, I've not seen this mentioned anywhere, but if Atlanta can win next week (Tampa Bay at home), they will have their first back to back double digit win seasons. They're getting there. Huge improvements these last 4 years from the previous 40+ years. Later, QD.

Haha 49ers will destroy the falcons. Their defensive line will rip matt Ryan apart

Packers/saints vs ravens/Steelers

Love my patriots but I don't see their defense getting through the offense they will see from the NFC and AFC contenders

[Brett]

I am just glad the Falcons are making an appearance in the playoff's again, 3 times in the past 4 years is awesome. I was disappointed to see only one Falcon Player going to the Pro Bowl this season, But I have a feeling though we will not make it past the first game, I hope I am wrong though.

I know the 49ers will beat the Falcons. I only said that Atlanta's best chance of a win in the playoffs would be against San Fran. They can beat the 49ers. They can't beat the Saints. As far as the 49ers ripping apart Ryan? Atlanta's offense won't be the cause of their demise. It will be, as always, the defense.

I hope I'm wrong, too, Brett. Later, QD.

Man, rooting for Falcons is like giving an ex girlfriend a second chance. You know u r going to get burned but u just cant give up. It's an unconditional love for me

[quickdodge®]

^^^ I've been a Falcons fan since the late 1970's, lolol. Later, QD.

[isa2o3]

^^^ I am sorry to hear that, but i feel you. I also have been a fan forever.

[quickdodge®]

Don't be sorry, homey. I'm not. I still have a Steve Bartkowski (Falcons QB from the late 70's to early 80's) helmet stamped in 1980 that I got brand new in 1980 (Xmas). It's right here in my room, lolol. Later, QD.

[alpine_aw11]

We just gotta stick together guys, I agree with you qd although it's been disappointing these things can take time. I don't see why Atlanta shouldn't keep improving. I do think it's time for some changes in the coaching department though.

[Sinfix_15]

i enjoyed watching the Falcons play when these 2 guys played for them..... otherwise, never cared.

Regardless Im excited they made it to the play offs for a 3rd time in 4 years, They are getting better and better. I hope Gonzalez doesnt retire at the end of the season like he almost did last season, Would be great to have him around next season again.

[Brett]

Who does Warrick Dunn play for now?

[Arm&hammer]

the falcons have always been my favorite team. They are not the best but there is just something about them that you gotta love.
I would like more than anything for them to go to the superbowl.

[Arm&hammer]

warrick dunn doesn't play anymore.

That's because you're not old enough to remember some other very good players to wear this uniform. There's been quite a few.

Warrick Dunn is actually a part owner, with Blank, of the Falcons. Later, QD.

[alpine_aw11]

Dunn was a badass, I loved watching him play. Turner and Anderson have been my favorite ATL backs though, no contest. Gotta love NFL players doin blow of a toilet.

my oldest memories of the falcons were when Deion was there, couldnt tell you anything about em before that.

would not of guessed Dunn was a part owner, last time i heard anything about him was on some church commercial. Even though i loathe the existence of Florida State, Warrick Dunn was too cool of a guy to dislike.

[Drummerboy]

I don't follow the NFL. Too much Football, not enough dog fights.

[quickdodge®]

Just saw that if Green Bay can hold on and take down Detroit, Atlanta will reclaim the number one wild card slot. This means they will play the winner of the Giants/Cowboys game tonight. Much better chance for the Falcons to win in the first round. Later, QD.
