It took six seasons, but I finally got the Falcons into the playoffs (hey, I'm new at this alright? :D). Despite having rolled the Giants during the season I went in 6 point underdogs. With no decent quarterback but a decent defence it was always going to be a difficult assignment.
The Giants had me all day, and my only touchdown had been via a fumble recovery. Then we have what will be forever known as "The Minute"

William Porter - I'll never say anything terrible about you and your 39/39 rating again.
Next stop - away to the 14-2 Vikings. I think it's fair to say that it will be sayonara to my season then unless I can pull off the second biggest miracle of all time.
P.S - A competitive 14-28 loss to end the season, but with my star LT doing his knee and being out until the end of next season I'm not sure whether I really wanted to beat the Giants now :(
