Already drinking.

Seattle going all the way.

Celebration or the drowning of sorrows?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Ryan needs to win this game badly.

 

[zjcvols]

Seattle 31-17.

I just don't think Atlanta can stop Seattle's run game.

Although I'm probably the biggest non NC State-Wisconsin-Seattle Seahawk Russell Wilson fan there is, I'd be happy seeing Atlanta win.

 

[King Webbsticles]

The amount of sucky sucky of Russell Wilson is ridiculous.

Why

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Falcons fixing to get whooped.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I see Tony Gonzalez as being the factor on offense for the Falcons. Not sure that Seattle has a cover for him.

Falcons fixing to get whooped.

You've been wrong about them all year, so I sort of appreciate this.

 

[GAVol]

Why

He's a rookie on the road in the playoffs.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Good start for the Falcons. Heckuva play on the near TD pass deflection.

Looking forward to Seattle vs. SF 3.

Jk but I'm still standing behind picking the Seahawks to win it all.

Falcons, 49ers and whoever comes out of the AFC are all really good teams but Seahawks have really turned it on. Their destruction of teams on both sides of the ball at the end of the season was scary.

Maybe my belief in it happening is bias because I was hoping for Seahawks vs. Bengals followed by Seahawks vs. Ravens. Not because I think they'd be great match ups but because I'm just picking the lesser of evils. As a Titans fan, the fact the Ravens are third on my list of who to pull for should tell you how much I don't like the teams in the playoffs this year. At least the Steelers didn't make it.

Get it going Seattle! Don't fall behind by two scores again.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Didn't the Redskins start the game red-hot last week?

 

[GAVol]

Yeah, great recovery on a late ball due to the pressure.

 

[GAVol]

Didn't the Redskins start the game red-hot last week?

Yes . . . But the Falcons won't be bailing anybody else by running a 1 legged QB out there to run the option.

 

[TOP]

He's a rookie on the road in the playoffs.

Did he set the passer rating record for a rookie QB?

He set the NCAA record for a single season last year.

I wouldn't count him out...

He's also not going up against the best defense in the NFL. He goes up against them in practice though.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Nope just a two-bit QB.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I find it funny that the two "heralded" rookie QBs are out before Wilson and CK. Crazy rookie class if these 4 hold up.

 

[TOP]

There's that #1 defense...

Just pressured Matt Ryan to throw it right to a Seahawks defender.

There was 3 rookie QB's and 3 second year QB's. That's half the playoff field... pretty crazy. There is no shame in RGIII losing to the Seahawks though. They allowed the fewest points in the NFL this season. They're beastly.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Right on time.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Dat O-Line.

I hate Roddy White.
