At Philadelphia or in the Dome against Atlanta.

I say to always take the home field advantage, regardless of who you are playing. Couple buddies of mine want nothing to do with Atlanta and would take an away game at Philly.

What say y'all? Am I wrong for taking home field advantage every time?

Couple of your buddies sound like pussies...

But really pass up on a home nfc championship game to go play in a hostile environment? Lols

Really nothing to think about. Home. You want to be at home.

I think the argument is they would rather face Foles than Ryan

They're morons. You want any kind of advantage you can get. Home field is a big advantage.

I'd rather beat the Vikings After that I'm not sure. I'd rather be in the dome and I think with now Johnson and Hendrickson back we can do even better against Freeman, plus add in McDaniel getting back to form. The biggest thing obviously is the Eagles have Foles at QB and we've won at Philadelphia before in the playoffs.

I think Falcons/Eagles defenses are pretty similar overall, so yeah, I'd rather be in the dome. Deion Jones is a bad mofo though.

Call me a moron all you want. I want absolutely nothing to do with Atlanta. home. away. on the moon. I do not want Atlanta.

I would rather play Philly in a 40 foot snow storm than play Atlanta at home.

Call me irrational. Call me a pussy. Don't care.

Why though? We did very well both games against them without Hendrickson, Johnson was brand new and I think McDaniel was also or wasn't even on the team. Rankins had to move out to DE. Now with Jordan, and other 2 DEs playing well against the run I like that matchup. I agree Falcon's LBs are scary good, but MT matches up and plays well against Falcons.

Why would any nfl fan want their team to play a championship game away? Especially considering the dome atmosphere for these games

I’ll say this, I’m jumping off the dome if we lose the nfc champ at home to the falcons

Because I think we can beat Philly anywhere. I think the Falcons would beat us. They are getting hot at the right time, and while they needed a ridiculous amount of penalties to beat us at their place, we needed a ridiculous amount of penalties to beat them at home.

I 100% realize it is completely irrational. You SHOULD always want to play a home game.

I get it. That is rational.

I just don't want to play Atlanta in the NFCCG under any circumstances.
