“Sorry, Bucs, but truly good teams periodically beat other good teams.”

Then shouldn’t the Falcons have been able to beat a Kevin Kolb led Eagles with King effing Dunlap on Abraham?

I don’t know who’s more overrated, the Falcons or the Chiefs. When both of these teams play their first Playoff game, they will be exposed and I cant wait to see it happen.

————————————-
I’m not a Falcons fan, but dude, they are 5-2 against winning record teams.

WON: @NO, TB, BAL, GB, @TB
LOST: @PGH, @PHI

The Falcons are having a GREAT season and deserve to be regarded as an elite this season.

The Chiefs meanwhile are 1-0 against winning record teams, having beaten JAX.

If you look around the Power Rankings of other sites, you’ll see that they are ranked about where they belong, which is way lower than Mikey ranks them.

As far as Power Rankings go, take them with a proverbial grain of salt. Example: Before MNF Jets at Pats, Billik’s and Mora’s NFLN Coach’s Show PRs had

1. Jets
2-5. NFC Teams
6. Stillers

Now I hate the Patsies way more than most but how anybody could leave them out of the Top 3 teams at that point helps show how worthless this ranking exercise is.

No one gives the pats any respect cause there stupid as can get. They havent beat one team from not at home thats worth anything. U shouldnt have beat the colts if manning didnt go retard i hope u numb nut realize. U lost to the browns…..ok so if tampa isnt good how come least we could beat them? the vikings almost beat u wit granpa in…. and then almost wit T-Jack in. PLus this is a fricken rebuilding year!!!! fir all u idiot pat fans who think this is a “rebuilding year” wen u rebuild u get younger…..not older like the pats u havent been rebuildin cause u draft some rookie D. Then i guess all teams are rebuilding now??? so pats fan shut up and win a super bowl wit out ur cameras.

They should be a top 10 for sure, though. But that week 4 win against the Bears… was 10 weeks ago. The Bears D has been lights out the last month, and the Pack has still played very stingy with a pass rush right on par with the Giants. The battle is for the division, but the honor of best defense in the NFC will be decided between the Bears and Pack with an honorable mention to the Giants. Just like the good old days.

Isn’t it awesome that the best two D’s in each conference are battling for first place in the respective North division?

That said, the Saints are ranked waaaaayyyy too high. They’ve looked sloppy in almost every game, and who have they beat recently? Explain to me how they moved into the top ten in the last month, other teams are not that bad. They won’t even make the playoffs

Giants are better than Chiefs and Bears, and are sporting the best defense in the NFC right now.

Then the Colts will get revenge for that fluke 59 yarder by Scobee. That will leave the Colts in position to take the division and heal up. Does anyone really want to see the Jaguars in the playoffs? Talk about BORING.

Every Eagles fan in America pretends that without the great blessing of Vick choosing Philly, Kolb would be their starting QB, and took reps with the starters since the day McNabb was traded pretty much.

Also, we’ve already beat a couple of the teams we might see in our first playoff game. Saints, Packers, Rams, and Seahawks are all possible playoff opponents, and soon we’ll have beaten all four of them at least once. Yes there’s the Bears and Giants, who we don’t play, and the Eagles(who beat us), but the fact remains that we’re in a good position for home field advantage and a bye week. None of those teams are capable of coming to Atlanta and blowing the Falcons out. Remember my name(shouldn’t be hard) and I’ll gladly eat crow if I’m wrong. (Good luck with that!)

It’s a reference to the “bitter beer face” comercials they did a few years back -as in Peyton putting on that sourpuss after another interception.

Is Tavaris Jackson really chopped liver?”

No, something closer to a pile of manure. He really is terrible. I can’t see why people can’t see this.

I bet T-Jack would have the Vikings in the same situation beating up the poor Lions Cards, Cowboys and Bills.

Hell he would probably even do it for about $19 Mil lesss than Favre did too. You could have donated that money to find a cure for Percy’s migraines.

Well given that the Falcons have already beaten both the Saints and GB, it only discredits part of your statement not the whole thing.

The best play all game was when freemen took out that guy on the pick….. And to all pats hatred why can’t you accept we are just a better team now and techicly in a rebuilding year so get over it it’s a shame we still have doubters after last night

The Patriots won nothing last night. Just another regular season game. Moving on.

However, I’d love to see the Patriots play the Falcons. Unfortunately, they aren’t on the Patriots regular season schedule, so I guess it won’t happen.

Oh wait………..

Just curious, what will you do IF (and I know it’s a big fat “if” that leans more towards the unlikely) the Bears beat the Patriots?

Will you catapult them all the way to #1?

Ya know, that whole Soldier Field turf/short week/referee-assistance combination might actually work on a powerhouse like the Pats, too…

(And believe it or not…it’s also possible that the Bears themselves play a factor in the outcome as well).

P.S. Thanks you for stating what sensible football fans already knew–the Lions would’ve lost that game regardless of the Suh call.

Yes technically he is right now, however he was the starter going into this season. Now he’s not. However, he was not brought here to back-up Michel Vick, he was Brought here to back up McNabb, and when McNabb left he became the starter. Stop making up false claims. Kolb is a very capable QB, it’s not like you beat us with Jimmy Clausen.
Given that, the Falcons are a much better team than when we played the Eagles. Don’t believe me? Our record shows that if nothing else we should thank the eagles because after that loss, we haven’t loss since. Thanks for the Motivation, BTW. Since that Eagles game we’ve beaten a good TB team twice, a very good Baltimore team, and a very good GB team. Are the Eagles a better team now? Hell no, and IF you make the playoffs we’ll see you in the “ATL SHAWTY!!!”

Hey me too. Far exceeding my expectations of two wins this year. I’ll be in town to watch the rams win the division against the niners week 16!

One more good draft away from being back on top…

Saints fans, I just want you to know that I will be at the game on December 27 sitting in row 4 at the 50 yard line right behind the Saint’s bench. You will lose that game, after which I plan to come on this thread and right the score of that game 10 times, and then laugh repeatedly, while finishing whichever alcoholic consumption I have in my hand at the time. It will be a very fun day, beating the saints TWICE in the same season? Oh Happy Day!!!

the jets are mediocre but i’m still rooting for them to make the SB. If the Giants dont make it, i’ll root for them, if the giants do, then i’ll enjoy watching them smush the jets :)
