Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes & welcome to the week 12/game 11 thread. Don't listen to that POS usurper who should be permanently banned from this board. I would NEVER agree to let that fool do this if I had to step away for any reason.

With a game lead over Atlanta for first place in the NFC South standings, today could either start the run to a division championship or the beginning of the tires coming off for a team that had so much promise.

The Falcons are going back to Desmond Ritter at QB, so can the defense, even without an injured Marshon Lattimore and with new help in Jason Pierre-Paul, keep him and the Falcon offens in check and can our offense... without Michael Thomas, get back to scoring TDs, please?

LET'S PLUCK THE FALCONS AND HAVE A POST-THANKSGIVING FEAST!!!

Injury Report:
NO- (Both Marshon Lattimore & Michael Thomas were put on IR this week and will not be listed here)
Kendre Miller - Ankle - OUT
Isaiah Foskey - Quadricep - QUESTIONABLE

ATL-
Mack Hollins - Ankle - OUT
Taylor Heinicke - Hamstring - QUESTIONABLE

Weather: No weather concerns inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium today

Uniforms: Going with color rush with the black helmets today

Current Standings:
NFC South:
Saints 5-5
Falcons 4-6
Buccaneers 4-6
Panthers 1-9
