ATL opens as a 3.5 point favorite.

Hell, last time I was in your Stadium, y'all had TONS of empty seats.
Wife and I sat on the front row for about 175.
I'm glad y'all are here supporting your team, and talking a lil trash.
I invite you to keep your accounts active, stick around for a few seasons. It will be fun to evaluate the Falcons sustainability in a couple of years.

Matt has been best in the league at spreading the ball around. Shutting down julio and keeping the dinks in check really isn't the answer. I'd argue that giving julio extra attention is a plus for the falcons.Hawks46":355y2r7u said:
Ya, I will agree with that. And we discussed this to no end last time we played you guys. Treefidy said if we didn't double or triple team Julio, you guys would blow us out. We tried to explain that since Pete has been here, they have not double teamed any receiver. It is not what they do. Will Sherm travel with Julio? Possibly. But, we will not double or triple Julio.

Haha, I doubt you could even type that with a straight face. Atlanta is a shit sports town. It's a transient city without a real core fan base. Nothing personal, just the facts.

Thank you.
Hello. Unlike at least one other I see in here I come in peace just looking for some good football talk as I think this will be great game!
I think the biggest advantage in our favor is that we are the team with the bye week and home field this time rather than you guys. Playing @ Denver and then @ Seattle was a brutally hard 2 game stretch especially with you guys having had a bye and 2 weeks to prepare for us last time. Everyone knows @ Seattle + playoffs = death sentence so I am VERY glad this is a home game lol. One thing is for sure we need to come out the gates much quicker. We looked asleep and outmatched the whole 1st half. We woke up in the 3rd but then fell back into a snooze in the 4th. If we are going to beat you guys we must play 4 quarters. Oh and Julio please don't drop a dang pass in your mittens to give the other team a free turnover lol. :34853_doh:
Both teams have some different guys in/out. I know you guys have Kam, Rawls and a few others back but lost obviously Earl and Lockett while we lost Trufant and Tamme. I am curious how you guys feel the replacement for Earl has played? I know on the Falcons side we have found a ton of depth at CB in the absence of Trufant and are actually pleasantly surprised with the play of Jalen Collins, Robert Alford and Brian Poole. Collin's fits the length and skillset that Quinn loves in his CBs and Alford has learned how to stop getting a PI every other play thank god lmao. Tamme's loss hurts as we pretty much have scrapped (or at least put it on the backburner) the "13" formation that actually was very successful against you guys in the 3rd quarter the last time we played.
Offensively its no secret we have a ton of weapons and can put up scores in bunches. I am really excited to see Julio vs Sherman Round 2. I expect without Earl Thomas, Sherman will shadow Julio a little more than last time. Taylor Gabriel is a guy that has kind of exploded onto the scene in our offense who when we played the first time wasent really a factor yet. I will be curious to see how often we try to go deep without Earl back there. I don't watch you guys weekly so I am sure you have a better idea of how well equipped your replacement is than I do. Kam being back is obviously huge for you guys as that enforcer over the middle. I am sure running won't be an easy task for us but I hope that we stay committed to it and don't go pass happy and play into Michael Bennett and that pass rushes hand. One thing that I think will be interesting is how you guys play us defensively. Do you lean more on man to man like you did on the last drive in the last meeting?
When we are on defense I would assume the plan is fairly simple. Don't get ran all over like Detroit did. If Rawls has a field day and you guys dominate the TOP I think it would be pretty hard for us to win. I think in terms of Wilson I expect a lot of spying from either Beasley, Jones or Campbell. All 3 are either as fast or faster than Russel so if he takes off as long as they don't get their ankles broken we should be okay lol. In the passing game hopefully for my sanity and all Falcons fans Paul Richardson comes back to earth and stops giving the world his Randy Moss impersonation. I expect Russel to find the holes just like Matt Ryan will as both QBs face off against the Cover 3 every day in practice. Hopefully we can just limit you guys to a few 3 and outs and punts.
Defensively as a whole I think we are much better than we were the last time we faced off. We have EIGHT of our 12 primary starters (including the nickel back) as 1st or 2nd year players so obviously in week 6 we were still going through a ton of rough patches. People love to look at our stats on defense but ignore the fact in at least 5 or 6 games we were in a massive blowout in the 4th quarter just running the ball and playing soft prevent style defense which allowed obviously a chunk of points and yards for the other team. I think we have a lot of potential on defense to be good we just need another piece or two (Centerfielder FS and another pass rusher to compliment Beasley) plus obviously just some more experience.
At the end of the day I think this game will simply come down to who wins the turnover battle. I think its going to be an extremely close back and forth game so simply having 1 turnover could be all it takes. I'll be around throughout the week to chat and try not to be an annoying twat like some others I see in here. I wish the Seahawks (bad)luck this week in an injury free great playoff game much like the 2012 contest. :irishdrinkers:

You really went there? LOL
Not that I care about the city of Atlanta (I'm from southeast GA closer to Jacksonville) but you are trashing Atlanta when the city of Seattle had the Sonics leave town and the fans don't show up to Mariners games unless it's the playoffs?

Sonics didn't leave due to fans, looking at you Schultz, Mayor Nickels and City Council.
Mariners.... Howard Lincoln is all that needs to be said.

The Sonics leaving had nothing to do with fan interest, the Sonics always drew well and had high local TV ratings, until Bennett gutted the team to lose on purpose in order to make leaving easier.
But if we're getting into a pissing match, both cities have their issues, and both cities have great fans. I'd put Hawk and Sounder fans up against any cities fans.

This is why no one is taking you seriously. You are just spouting meaningless junk that has nothing to do with the upcoming game. Reminds me of reading ESPN's comment section.
DB07 had a good post, you should take heed.

Sonics had a higher attendance than Atlanta pretty consistently, 33/41 seasons.

I don't remember Seattle ever having an article written about it proclaiming it as the shittiest sports city in the United States... that honor goes to Atlanta.
http://www.espn.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/7429623/the-city-atlanta-worst-sports-town-america
My favorite excerpt: "Hence, the Atlanta Falcons shouldn't be allowed to win and reward some of the worst fans in the country. They just don't get it. They are both missing in action and simply not passionate enough to appreciate their team winning in the NFL playoffs and moving on to the next round."
