NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Atlanta will have a 3rd place schedule ahead of the 4th place Tampa Bay Buccaneers but the Falcons will have the higher draft pick because they played the easier schedule (Cardinals and Packers vs 49ers and Bears).

 

23-0 Panther up on the Saints...

Cowboys 14, Giants 7...

Patriots 21-3 on the Jets...

 

Lions 21, Packers 0

 

Atlanta entered with the #13 overall pick. They could end the day as high as #5.

 

Patriots rolling, 28-3...

 

This is more of an indication of how bad the Jets are. Almost all the Pats' points are from the Jets with dumb penalties, drops or ball security.

 

I see Matty Ice caught a TD today from Sanu.
Awesome!

With a loss the Falcons likely get the #6 pick. With a win they likely get the #16 pick and a tougher schedule next year. Falcons mounted a comeback to take the lead because... I dunno.

 

Even the losers get lucky some times.

 

Falcons allow a TD. Go from the projected #16 pick in the draft to #6.

 

Holy shit... 35-28 Giants... what a comeback.

 

I know the Cowboys game doesn’t matter but if they don’t overturn that call with Beasley...the NFL needs to piss off.

That was a catch. Get it right.

 

That's a TD, for Beasley.

 

Nice finish.

Heck of a catch by Beasley.

 

And with a Matt Bryant field goal, it became official. Next year will be the 15th year out of 18 years of the current eight division league structure in which the Falcons and Eagles will play each other.

 

I'm wondering if NFL-N might choose the Falcons-Bucs game as one of the week's Replay games. Many Falcons games this season (including their wins) weren't even worth watching the first time around. But this one would actually be worthy of a rebroadcast.

 

Sark and Manuel auditioning for their next employers, perhaps.
