Game Thread: NFC Divisional round part 1: Seattle vs Atlanta 1:35pm PST on Fox

[DJ]

It should be more competitive than the games last weekend.












I like the Seahawks. Waiting till before game time before placing my bets.

Rawls needs to have another big game to make RW's job easier.

falcons got this 24-21

Seattle is gonna find a way to BS into a win. Seattle 30-27

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I suspect the Falcons roll but I hope I am wrong about that.

Seattle will be down like 24-6 going into the 4th quarter. They'll find some stupid way to take the lead 26-24 (Hauschka missed XP) with 10 seconds left. Matt Ryan will use those 10 seconds to somehow get down the field and the Falcons will score a field goal and win 27-26.

Falcons fans will go nuts. Matt Ryan will be all happy.

And then the Cowboys or Packers will destroy the Falcons like 38-17.

I don't see anyway the Falcons roll. They don't have a good enough defense to roll anyone left in the playoffs with the exception of Houston.

I have no idea who wins this one but Seattle should cover IMO

Seattle's Pass D since Earl went down: 30th

It's not looking good for Seattle. Just not their year, imo.

I agree its not their year. I just don't see Atlanta coming out and destroying them

Last two games the passing defense has been much better.

Last two games the passing defense has been much better.

Against AZ were they lost 34-31? Palmer 284 and a TD no INTS.
Or
Against SF were they won 25-23? Kap 215 and a TD no INTs.

Better you go back to the win against NE for your argument. At least there you beat a decent offense.

Oh almost forgot some teams needed to play in the WC round. Seattle did limit Stafford to zero TDs.

215 vs 49ers, 210 vs Lions, we'll soon find out how they hold up against the Falcons who have a dynamic passing offense.

If it was at home I'd be on board with you, but it's not. Falcons will score 30. Can Seattle win a shootout with that lame ass line? Even against a defense as weak as the Falcons? Not holding my breath.

 

[JMR]

My prediction for the game is 24-20, Atlanta. Definitely see it as a coin flip type game though, just like the other 2 games this weekend (not really considering NE-Houston as a game).

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Looking so forward to this game.

I think it will be the best one of the weekend. Seattle has a bleh offense but Atlanta has a bleh defense especially with Trufant out, so both teams should go toe to toe (since Atlanta's O is good and Seattle's D is good).

Really curious to see how Rawls/Hester will do.

CAN WE START THE ****ING GAME ALREADY!?!?!?

Well I'm a bit more optimistic. Not banking on anything, but hopeful none the less.

NFL network just reported he's out.
