Atlanta Falcons Offense and Playoffs (1 Viewer)

I know it's been discussed in a few threads, but I wanted to see if anyone else has multiple players from the Falcons they're counting on in the playoffs. Now that we're getting closer, is there a chance we see limited playing time for certain players during playoffs? The loss to the Saints does help a bit, but if the Falcons continue to dominate they may lock up home field advantage pretty early.

They are one game up on the Bears and the Niners. Not exactly running away with it as of now.

If that gap widens maybe start getting concerned, but as of now they are feeling the heat and definitely don't want to be in a position to have to play the bears at soldier field in the cold.

Makes sense. I'm a bit concerned with the Bears and Niners both having their QBs knocked out of the game this weekend. I'm hoping nothing serious comes of it and they stay competitive.

If history is any guide, players will rest in week 17 if nothing to play for. Expect them to play all out up until then though.

most teams won't rest both 17 and 16...unless players are banged up...I mean if they have a bye why would you give them 3 weeks offs
