I know Falcons fans think they get no respect but last weeks second half showed why. I love the Seahawks but the Niners are better and if the Falcons don't tighten up and play better, the Niners will destroy them.

Falcons played 2.5 quarters last week, then collapsed. That being said, Ryan has been (arguably) the most clutch QB in the league this year. Falcs have to (a) Tackle Kaep - take that away as much as possible, (b) keep it close and hope they're last to have the ball.

Good points but as far as Ryan, he's shown in the past he can be clutch at the very end. I don't mean to sell him short but my problem with him is he should be closing that game out a lot sooner and not have to save the game at the end. That pick he threw earlier on was awful. I'm also mad at my Seahawks for squandering 6 points in the first half that would have required the Falcons to score a TD just to tie. The Falcons got very lucky and the Niners defense is the best in the game, imo. And Kaepernik is faster, stronger and obviously bigger than Wilson. I just don't see the Niners losing. They are too good.

That was a really bad decision by Carroll to go for that 4n1 down in the red zone in the first half.

LOL @ GOLD MINERS!!!

2 things stand out for me in this game.

1. The Niners have a much better coach.
2. The Falcons don't have a pass rush.

Outside of that, its probably pretty even. No homer but this will come down to which team's Mizzou players play better. Justin Smith and Spoon are going to be pivotal

 

[ForkEmBucky]

They're better off not flushing Kaep out of the pocket anyway.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I want ATL to win.

But San Fran will win this one. Nothing more to say.

 

[Kid Vicarious]

Should of put one of these games on today. I could never pull for the dirty birds. San fran will win this one and i'll be pulling for them.

 

[Kid Vicarious]

2 1/2 hours and counting.

 

[apachef4]

Every corner of my gut tells me the 49ers are the team to pick. Therefore, I am officially picking the Falcons.
