Don't know. I've heard of a lot of teams flying over and then staying close-by. It's a professional sport. They don't have the luxury of seeing family all the time.

Seattle has to fly to the east coast twice in two weeks. They have a rookie QB . If Falcons cant beat the Seahawks and fall to 0-4 under this regimen there are bigger issues at hand and a reboot of this franchise would be needed. All pressure is on us though , were about to see what this team is made of or we were frauds media has made us out to be

I don't see the need for a reboot. Clearly something is working in order for us to get there.
The attitude of this team this year is something we all have never seen. Ryan is more vocal on the field now and he's having a MVP type of season.

0-4 is a possibility, but I don't want to think about it.

Dont see how this team can recover for being 0-4 in playoffs. Tony G retires . We have a QB with little confidence and would be looked upon as Tony Romo . Smith and TD would both be on hot seat . Blank in the process of getting a new stadium . He needs fans for PSL . This game is a must win . 1 playoff win in 5 years is not a big deal but just getting to a conference championship shows a positive step forward. A Loss to Seahawks would be devastating and my opinion would start to be the downside of what was built from this foundation

What pisses me off about all the media drooling all over the Seahawks is that if RGIII doesn't get hurt again (on that 2nd drive) the Seahawks don't win that game. The Redskins had 2 possessions and had 2 touchdowns and the Seahawks offense had a 3-and-out in between those 2 possessions. It was all Redskins. The Seahawks defense had absolutely no answer for the read option. RGIII and Morris were running all over them. Once RGIII got hurt he couldn't run and couldn't throw because he couldn't properly step into his throws. The Redskins offense couldn't move the ball and the Redskins defense eventually got worn out and made it easy for the Seahawks offense to move the ball. Despite all that it took until the 4th quarter for the Seahawks to finally get the lead. The Seahawks aren't this unbeatable force the media would have you believe. This game won't be close. The Falcons will blow the Seahawks outta the building. Ryan will have at least 3 touchdowns.

It would be devastating but I think blowing it up would be the absolute incorrect thing to do unless you're able to get a proven coach to take over. If we're blowing it up to get a coach that has never had success in that position, then all we're doing is starting over.

I completely agree. Think the Browns and Chargers regret their snap decisions to fire Marty Schottenheimer? Neither team recovered from that.

San Diego fired Schottenheimer after a 13-3 season too. Still can't get over that, they were sooooo close to winning something.

It was 14-2. But yep.

Actually it was 14-2 and it's been well established that their now unemployed GM was a dumbass.

And any talk of Smith getting fired is beyond stupid. It's not happening no matter what the outcome on Sunday.

Agreed. And it shouldn't happen regardless of what some people think and regardless of the outcome. Who are you gonna replace him with? Norv turner?

"Reboot" my big fat ass! Plus Ryan will get a new contract that will make the detractors gag!

The Seahawks are going down!

Super Bowl win in the aints' dome! How sweet would that be?
