If we get home field advantage I can see us being a real factor
if not...ehhh...
Home field doesn't mean anything. Its not like the crowds are as crazy as college football fans are. NFL fans and home field advantage really doesn't factor in anything as really a advantage.

Their franchise QB, IIRC, has never lost at home in the NFL. That's called a homefield advantage.

Well you're wrong, he was 17-1 at home back in october, therefore.. he has lost before.

And you wouldn't consider 17-1 in his career at home a homefield advantage?

But that does increase the odds of us doing better tho

We haven't played a home playoff game with Matt Ryan yet.
I know this, thats what I'm saying.. you can throw statistics up and everything. We don't know how he really plays with playoffs on the line at home. Soo the home stat means nothing, thats for regular season only. I'm not saying they'll even lose in the playoffs. I'm just saying period.

Still remains to be seen if its an advantage in the playoffs. Could choke like Manning.

I'm just saying it's a better chance wit him at home then away. I think the Falcons could compete for a championship this year. If they keep finding ways to win like they have, I really don't see why not

It's definitely an advantage, that's one of the stupidest things I've ever read on here. Your chances of winning at home are a lot higher than playing on the road with hostile fans. I don't care what anyone says, playing at home is an advantage. Winning on the road is a lot harder, but if you're a good team you can overcome it, just more to overcome and prepare for.

Not really, The NFLs fans aren't that hostile.. It's not like College Ball where the atmosphere is just amazing and everything. Its not like teams at home have a better chance of winning because of the fans. Your Bengals would know that from last year against the Jets.

Also, Jets last year went on away all the way to the AFC Championship I believe so, along with the 2006 Steelers, won all road games to the Superbowl.

Knew you'd slip a shot in there.. Aha. You are addicted.


Matty Ice is the best up and coming QB in the league. I have said this since he came out. Joe Floppo should take notice, since everyone likes to ride his nob.

dumbest thing Ive heard today is
Rich McKay is the president of the Falcons and he is also the co-chairman of the NFL competition committee, therefore, the falcons are winning games unfairly and suspiciously
from a saints fan, so I cant say Im very surprised that he thought such BS

It is a Saints fan.. Take it with a grain of salt.

Even though you guys did get away with that robbery of a no-call against the Ratbirds.
