haha, no way, they hated each other, there is no way some1 would argue with themself.

Oxy would type like 2 pages to argue lol

[BamaFalcon59]

I'm here. I still read a lot, just seldom post.

[Bosanac01]

I want the good old days back. Iloxy come back, haha.

[D-Rod]

Quite a big sunday even if we're not playing.

Wins for the Cowboys and Skins would be extremely helpful...

And would like to see Willis do some damage to the Rams (no, i'm not very sportsmanlike, so what?)

Close games tend to rile me up a bit.

Hey guys, was just looking at some stats from some of the people see as top QB's in this league, it's amazing how well Matt Ryan compares to them. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is on their level, but he is playing exceptionally well and there is no doubt in my mind in the coming years he will be considered one of the top 3-5 guys.

Drew Brees: 374 ATT, 261 COMP, 69 COMP %, 2587 YDs, 18 TD, 12 INT, 91.7 QB Rating

Aaron Rodgers: 303 ATT, 192 COMP, 63 COMP %, 2300 YDs, 15 TD, 9 INT, 90.6 QB Rating

Eli Manning: 271 ATT, 178 COMP, 66 COMP %, 2075 YDs, 17 TD, 11 INT, 92.7 QB Rating

Matt Ryan: 338 ATT, 212 COMP, 63 COMP %, 2265 YDs, 16 TD, 5 INT, 91.7 QB Rating

Keep in mind Ryan and Rodgers have played 9 games, while the other 2 have played only 8. Still compares very favourably.

[Bosanac01]

I like the fact that we don't turn the ball over much, but our defense gets the turnovers regularly. That really helps us out.

[Shiver]

We cannot have a let-down game against an inferior, but feisty, team next week. Fortunately they have ten days to prepare for the Rams.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

We should destroy the Rams. And I can't wait to play Carolina. That should be 2 gimme wins. They are horrendous.

We can't seem to destroy anyone. Just can't put it away.

Carolina game should be fun.

[dunagan15]

lol at the Giants. Things are setting up nicely

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Indeed. We are one dangerous ************* team at home.

[dunagan15]

As long as we can stay healthy and play like we have we should have a nice road ahead...

Carolina (x2) lol, Rams, Seattle....Thats 4 wins right there making us at worst 11-5

Im not too worried w/ Tampa Bay, and we get Packers and Saints both at home..tough games but home field is huge there.

Very possible we run the table but I only see us possibly losing 1 more ans securing Dome Field

[D-Rod]

So far we've beaten one average team away (Cleveland), lost to two good teams away (Pitt and Philly), and beaten one good team away (NO).

I expect us to beat the Rams and Panthers, and win 1 of 2 vs the Bucs and Seahawks.

Then we just need to handle business against the Saints at home, and we should have homefield throughout the playoffs (even if we lose to GB).

It will be tight down to the penultimate game. The Dome will be rocking on a Monday night, and the result could well decide whether we get homefield playoff advantage or take the hard road as a wildcard. We're both coming off tough games: us away to Seattle, them away to the Ravens.

Really rooting for the Saints to lose some games to make it less tight - the key games are at Dallas, at Bengals (if they decide to run the ******* football), and at the Ravens.

[D-Rod]

Hmm, I'd really rather not face Vick in the playoffs...

We'd always anticipated Vick winning an NFC championship in the Georgia Dome. It would be brutal to see him do it as an Eagle.

[Bosanac01]

I don't wanna play the Iggies again. Kolb got lucky in the wind last time.

hahaha i wanna read atl's rant if that happens.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Vick would ******* destroy us. My rant when we lose in the playoffs this year in going to ridiculous regardless, but if it's Michael, atleast a small part of me will be happy. We really should have waited for him though. **** a Matt Ryan, I'll take the best there is please.

[Bosanac01]

**** Michael Vick.

I agree, **** Vick.

What do you mean, "we really should have waited for him"? Are you really suggesting that it was somehow an option to keep Vick on the team? That is possibly the most ludicrous suggestion I have read on this board, and as you know, there's some healthy competition for that title.

Vick brought us some great times, then he ****** us royally. If he beats us, he'll be ******* us again, and we'll have to grin and bear it. I won't be happy for him, but I do respect the right of a criminal to get a second chance in society.

That said, a rematch in the Dome, if Van Gorder gets his scheme right, and we have a chance.

[Bosanac01]

Vick will choke under pressure at the dome. Even if we knew Vick would throw 10,000 yards this year and have **** load of TDs, he still had to be gone. After the **** he pulled, there was no way he'd be able to come back and play for the same fans again and an owner who gave everything he asked for.

If I had a choice between Ryan and Vick for the rest of the year, the choice would be easy.

You guys are assuming you're going to make make it to the NFC championship game. BUCS baby! ;)
