Sorry, the Falcons have to prove to me that they can win in the playoffs. Their defense just isn't quite up to snuff for a championship team. I think the hawks will run all over them and Wilson will make plenty of plays with his feet and arm. Meanwhile, the Falcons have no running game so they will be almost totally dependent on Ryan and his solid stable of receivers. If the Falcon's OL can block for Ryan then the Falcons definitely have a chance but without balance on offense and a soft defense, I'm not optimistic. Hope I'm wrong. Love seeing the Falcons play well. They've had an excellent season

Do you realize that the Falcons defense are ranked 5th in take-aways, points scored, and redzone defense?

Giving up a lot of yards means nothing when you still keep them from scoring. We do this better than 27 other teams in the league, so acting like thats too "soft" to win a championship is ignorant.

The Packers, Saints, and Patriots won SB's with defenses ranked 28th or worse. The Falcons are ranked 23rd. In those same years, the Packers and Patriots had 30th ranked rushing offenses. The Falcons are 28th.

The appearance of a balanced offense and dominating defense is simply not necessary and certainly not a requirement to be optimistic. Acting like they are just makes you look ignorant and foolish.

Former Dawg & arguably Seattle's best D player Chris Clemons could possibly be out for Sundays game with a torn ACL....

The agent for top Seattle Seahawks pass rusher Chris Clemons said his client's injury on Sunday was due to the "crappy" field conditions at FedEx Field...

Donal Henderson told NFL Network that the sloppy turf played a role in Clemons' injury, which is feared to be an ACL tear that could end his season...

We will see who looks foolish after the game. I hope it's me but we will see.

We can't get a hand on a QB that stands there, we won't lay a finger on Russell. We can't run the ball, they will be able to against our run defense.
Their corners and big and good, but we still have the edge there.

Can Ryan carry the whole team? I say no and another one and out for the coons.

And whether then?? Russell is 2 - 0 and Matty Melt and Smith are 0 - 4.

What of the disaster TD has made of the lines in 5 years, all his picks there are mediocre at best.

Whether then Mr. Blank? Reup for season 6?

We can beat anyone in the NFL if we show up, unfortunately a complete game shows up about twice a year.
