This is a very young football team. Every team has to replace guys along the way.

How long will it take for the Falcons to grow up in your eyes?

Truth.

If we win and I think we will win we are going in right direction and the process that has been laid upon us has merit . This team wins this game I'm also confident were going to Super Bowl so pack the bags and get ready for a trip to Dallas .

You are right sir. But alot of people still write the Seahawks off. Their the ones who beat the Bears. I give the Seahawks respect after that Saints game. That was no Fluke.

I think they are grown up now. I just don't think they are getting old.

The guys on the team are plenty mature and experienced enough, my issue has always been that this team is missing peices.

If they lose Saturday, I think it will be because the missing peices caught up with them, not because of a lack of performance on thier part.

I think we have more talent then Packers so if they can find ways to win in playoffs with guys off street at main position like rb we should be able to win with a pro bowl rb in Turner

That's an accomplishment. But this team has put themselves in the position to win it all.

I think the Packers WR group is far superior to ours.

Also, Woodson vs. Robinson is no contest.

Falcons have the advantage at RB.

Other than that I'd say it is fairly even.

We have 3 solid receivers. Well, I could say 4 but Finny isn't in the game that often. He doesn't create separation, but he does catch the ball when it's around him.

I see us using a pound the rock game plan. We stick with Turner and Snelling to grind the game out. We will have to convert a lot of 3rd and longs, but we have been doing this all year. We can win this game with our running backs.

Well let me give it some perspective.

In the first game, Atlanta's WRs had 9 catches for 82 yards.

The Green Bay WRs had 19 catches for 290 yards and a TD, against a secondary that everyone in Atlanta seems to agree is the best the Falcons have had in well over a decade.

What is it? DE, WR OL OLB. We have to be confident in the pieces we already have. As of right now, this team is in the playoffs and have strong chance of taking it like everybody else. Do you say things like this because you are afraid of being disappointed or is it....you prepare for the worst before a head of time? I Undertsand your point about keeping it real. And no way in the hell will I knock that. But as of right now the only thing we can do as fans is believe in the team. And that's not putting a wool over eyes and that's keeping it real also.
