He's 0-3 and has more picks than touchdown passes. They do not have a run game and I like how our corners match up with their beastly receivers. It's not that I'm taking them for granted - they are a good team. I just don't think they are nearly as good as their record indicates. I think Bruce Irvin will be a force and sack Ryan twice... Just a gut feeling. Hopefully Carroll blitzes more as Ryan has average mobility. He blitzed more when Clemons went out to compensate, and it worked. Hopefully, we keep that going next week. Seattle 30, Atlanta 20

What a lame comment to make when Ryan hasn't even played a game in this postseason yet. And please stop with the "softest schedule" nonsense. It is not the Atlanta Falcons fault some teams on their schedule they've faced didn't live up to the offseason hype. Seattle has faced some weak opponents as well.

Matty hasn't had success in the playoffs yet, but he's still a very good QB with elite WR's and the best TE ever.

I do not know a lot about their defense but regardless of schedule ATL has posted a great season. We had a 'soft' schedule in 2005 as well but we were still a Super Bowl team, so I will show some respect to ATL until I see they don't deserve it.

That said, as a Seahawks fan I really like our chances, and I think our D matches up well with their Offense (though Gonzalez is the X factor).

I like Seattle, in this game. Russell Wilson already has more play-off wins than Matt Ryan, Seattle can run the ball, and stop the pass. I losing Clemons will hurt them, Irvin is good in pass rush, but you can run at him. I will take the Seachicken 27-21.

Concerned about two things: losing Clemons, and Tony Gonzalez. Bruce came in and was pretty darn disruptive against the Redskins, and he would need to find a way to consistently find pressure. Not sure if he's there yet. Without a heavy pass rush, Matt Ryan is going to have a lot of time to slice up the defense with Julio/Roddy/Gonzalez. Pretty concerned there.

Also don't know how well we will match up against Gonzalez. It's going to be a huge task for the linebackers and Kam Chancellor.

That place will be loud and Atlanta has a great defense. Seattle can't win if they play like they did against the skins by missing opportunities.

Got a feeling this one comes down to a late field goal.
