maqroll Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Seattle have great fans. True homefield advantage there. Having the best stadium in the league helps. I'm very jealous of that place, it's a real gem. To think they played for so long in that dumpy dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 13, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted November 13, 2012 And the Steelers make it a perfect week for the Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thu Indianapolis @ Jacksonville ✓ - Sun Detroit @ Minnesota ✓ Sun NY Giants @ Cincinnati X Sun San Diego @ Tampa Bay ✓ Sun Tennessee @ Miami X Sun Oakland @ Baltimore ✓ Sun Buffalo @ New England ✓ Sun Atlanta @ New Orleans ✓ Sun Denver @ Carolina ✓ - Sun NY Jets @ Seattle ✓ Sun Dallas @ Philadelphia X Sun St Louis @ San Francisco X Sun Houston @ Chicago X - Mon Kansas City @ Pittsburgh ✓ 9-5. I'll take it. I had a feeling it would be a tricky week. And we had a tie !! Fair play for having saints to win at unbeaten Atlanta ... Lucky guess :-) or have the falcons just been punching above their weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Falcons weren't really as good as their record suggested. Think 3 of us picked New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted November 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2012 Fair play for having saints to win at unbeaten Atlanta ... Lucky guess :-) or have the falcons just been punching above their weight Let's look at the Falcons' CV: Win 40-24[!!!] away to the beyond woeful Chiefs (who have had a lot of trouble scoring this season) Win 27-21 home to the Broncos (nearly blowing a multiple touchdown lead, though to be fair, the Broncos this season seem to be on a mission to put Tegis and BOF into cardiac wards*) Win 27-3 away to the Chargers (probably the signature result, but these are not your older brother's Chargers) Win 30-28 home to Panthers (who are taking a step back this season now that Cam has been figured out) Win 24-17 away to Redskins (and a concussed RGIII) Win 23-20 home to the somewhat woeful Raiders Win 30-17 away to the Eagles (who are pretty much a shambles) Win 19-13 home to the Cowboys A pair of early blowouts of poor AFC West teams (the AFC West is even easier to win this year than the AFC East, methinks), a few nailbiting wins (one entirely forgivable (albeit one that was a hanging-on-for-dear-life result) and two or three that raise a lot of questions), and a pair of serviceable away wins against teams with potential mitigating circumstances. Combine with a recent history of underperforming in big games, and you had to wonder about how good the Falcons really were/are. (* the Broncos comebacks this season are more due to the strength of their run defense drawing opposing offenses away from trying to run out the clock...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted November 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2012 (* the Broncos comebacks this season are more due to the strength of their run defense drawing opposing offenses away from trying to run out the clock...) Ah yes, one thing I thought would be a major weakness with DJ Williams out. Wesley Woodyard has been a revelation at linebacker and Derek Wolfe is the gem we were hoping for high in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Losing that was probably the best thing for Atlanta- now they'll have the pressure of staying unbeaten lifted, and they can just get on with the job. I still think they can beat anyone, especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
