Seahawks vs Falcons: Week 7

[JMR]

I doubt Falcons beat Saints with Matt Schaub... That's the reason Hawks whined... Matt Schaub threw 450 yards on our D...

But that's also the same Matt Schaub who got out to a 20-0 lead on the 2013 team.

Just maybe the Falcons have some good NFL quality players that are trying really hard too

And that's why I think fans tend to get a little overboard with the hand wringing about not winning by "enough" points or "playing down" to the opponent. Yesterday we saw the Saints lose to a 1-win team. Last week the 49ers squeaked by the Cards, and the Packers lost to a less than impressive Chargers team. All these teams have really good players, exceptional coaches, and they're all getting paid too and trying to win every time they step on the field.
