Since when is a 5 loss team legit? The Giants are just another team. If we beat them the media will just say we beat the Giants in one of their off years. We will get no credit for beating them.
This is so pointless. Wake me for the playoffs.
The ones they need to prove something to is themselves, that they can handle a strong front 4 and outscore a team that just got another explosive weapon in David Wilson. Not really thrilled that we get them just in time for his coming out party, because Falcons always seem to let up that 1 big play to speedy backs....
Going into the playoffs, the only thing this team needs besides staying healthy is the confidence that they can roll against a playoff-caliber team.
But in answer to the thread, no this game is not that important to the Falcons, but it is to the Giants, and so after the playoff debacle last year, there'd be nothing greater than to use this must-win game for them as momentum for the playoff run.
I really could care less what the media thinks. Our boys just gotta start showing up for the playoff teams...
