It'll be a close game win or lose. I really think we can pull it out though.

I am excited, but I'm not even going to be too bothered if we lose, honestly. I'm glad I can go into this game with little expectations.

Not that I don't think we can win, but there's not shame in losing to the Falcons in ATL.

It's not easy beating a good team two times in one season.

New Orleans was extremely fortunate to finish 11-5 this year. They not only lost to Arizona and lost at home to Cleveland, they needed very lucky breaks late in the Cowboys and Bengals games to get wins. They needed a late FG to beat an awful Carolina team in New Orleans. They struggled at home vs Minnesota.

I'd rather face the Saints than the Bears or Falcons, but i know i'm in the minority.

They did win @Atlanta in a game both teams were trying to win, if that means anything. So as bad as they were, they still beat Atlanta. Has to bode well for us.

Somehow, we did it. Hopefully the Falcons aren't as fortunate on Saturday.

I'm a bit confuzzled over his Brandon Jackson love then.

Don't forget 33.0 ppg.

Not a playoff QB, IMO.

Isn't it 3 turn overs? 2 fumbles and a pick. Still sick numbers though.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves either way. We barely beat the Bears, at home, when they had nothing to play for - and Seattle, as mediocre as they are, had an impressive win at home versus the Saints and are generally solid at home.

Can you really count the one where he's being slammed to the ground by his facemask?

Obviously didn't agree with the no call but that's what the stats are.

Line is now Falcons -1.

2 fumbles, 1 pick. My bad.

James Jones would've caught that pass if Favre threw it. And Marshawn Lynch would've had 1300 yards and 17 TDs as a Packer. Fire Thompson and McCarthy, trade Rodgers for anything you can get IMO.

I agree

The Bears defense gives our offense a lot pf problems and if we did face Chicago in the NFC Title game, there very well could be bad bad weather which in inhibits our passing game.

Keep in mind also that in the Bears game two weeks ago, they only had Hester back returning punts. If we met them in the NFC Title game, he'll be returning kickoffs along with punts. Say then that we had to punt 4 times and had to kickoff 4-5 times, some combination of punts/kickoffs could mean having to kick to Hester around 8-10 times. Scary stuff.

Nope real NFC champ game was today and the Packers won. No way are the Falcons better than the Eagles.
