The Atlanta Falcons are bad now, and that means the NFC South is lost to them, and the playoffs very well might be. This stinks, everyone.
Still, time marches inexorably on, robbing us of our youth, our vigor, and gradually those we love and cherish. We are left to pick up the pieces of our fading lives, and to look over the NFC South standings without vomiting. We must never vomit.
NFC South Standings
I have to applaud the Carolina Panthers. Beating the Saints by three is no great feat, but this is a divisional game, and when you're 12-0 people can't say crap about your football team.
