Obviously I'm not talking about those teams. Look at the 2nd half of their schedule. Seattle hasn't faced a team with this many weapons in a WHILE. But automatically people think the Falcons offense might as well not even show up..

What else do you want me to say? That I'm scared of the Falcons? Personally, I'm not. Sorry. I do take into consideration their schedule and the fact that Matt Ryan has not performed well at all in three playoff games.

I said they were a good team. Us winning is most definitely not a given at this point. I respect the 13-3 record.

Come in here with thick skin, man. It's the playoffs and your team and my team are going at it. What do you expect me to say?

Dude are you forgetting about the 49ers in week 16? San Fran probably has MORE weapons than the Falcons.

I'm just replying on the ESPNish remark you posted, other than that I don't really care what you think or say.

Umm, no.

False.

Roddy White. Julio Jones. Tony Gonzalez.

Quality.

I notice you didn't mention any RBs in there to compare to Frank Gore.

The Falcons have an excellent passing attack and will be tough to stop, no doubt about it, but are more one dimensional than some of the other teams the Seahawks have faced, including the 49ers.

That 2001 Bears team gave me some great memories.

Back to the actual game: Did Seattle fly all the way back to Seattle or did they stay on East Coast? I think if Seattle flew all the way back combined with an early start that it will be an advantage for Atlanta. I also like Atlanta WR's and Tony Gonzalez and Chris Clemons getting hurt doesn't help Seattle chances. Atlanta pulls this one out and advances to the NFC Championship game.
