since there are no other NFC teams "in the hunt" (outside looking in, playoff-wise) - I am rooting for the Falcons to make the NFC Playoffs. it is a long shot, but technically everything that needed to happen on Sunday for them to get in, happened. the Falcons won, the Seahawks lost, and wait - I think they also needed Minnesota to lose? so... um... never mind, scratch that. we think the playoff criteria is pedantic right now - well imagine the ensuing nuttiness when the NFL adds more than 32 total teams/more than 12 total playoff teams?!
just turned on the Monday Night Football game. looks like Bengals are coming in strong with their top notch defense. so crazy seeing the Broncos fall from grace, recently, how many losses in a row now??
