What I want

[FullMetalFalcon23]

I want this team and this fan base to come out and blast Seattle and the fans of seattle clean off the face of the NFL scope. Forget about being polite or sporting. We must and we will beat the breaks off of them. A team that has done next to nothing compared to our model of consistency is getting its praises sung its chest beaten and its feathers plumped. Well that's great they'll be easy to pluck and tender for the eating.

Fed up of reading all the crap about our team, why don't we just roll over and give them the game save us the hurt and them the energy??

We are the number 1 seed, we play Falcons football this game will be in the Georgia dome and God help anyone who thinks they can come into our house and disrespect us.

Someone fetch me a switch its time to cut they ass!!

To be honest, I see this a lot like 2010, only in reverse. Then, we were the hotshot 13-3 team with the no. 1 seed, and Green Bay was being basically discounted because they had lost some games everyone thought they should have won. We ran the ball, played solid defense, and didn't lose at home. Conversely, they had no running game. Their defense was good, but not shutdown. Etc. We as fans looked at a Green Bay team we had beaten earlier in the season and figured we'd beat them again, only worse this time. We discounted their strength at QB and we underestimated their defense.

This year, we're still the 13-3 team with the no. 1 seed, but we're being discounted. Our run game is nonexistent. We won some close games that, per the pundits, we should have lost. Our defense is good in points allowed, but suspect against the run. Etc. I think people discount the strength of our QB play.

And frankly, that's why I'm not at all worried about Seattle. They have an inexperienced QB, a solid, but not really dominating defense (Washington gave them all they could handle until RGIII's injuries started to slow him down in the pocket), and they're getting a lot of press for beating teams at home. They're coming in here cocky and confident. And they're about to get a wakeup call. Send it.

Best thing we could do is get up to a17-0 or 21-0 lead and make them one dimensional. Not that we can't fall behind and come back, we certainly can, but if we can start fast, that really puts the pressure on them and I think it would snowball - takes lynch out of the game, the defense can start forcing errors etc..

Anyway there are many ways to win a game but I think that gives us the best shot. The crowd can really help out with this early on.

They've won 3 road games this year, not including the playoff game with RG1.5. Of those losses, they've lost to STL, ARI, MIA, DET, & SF. None of those teams have what I'd call a potent offense. The three road games they DID win were CAR(1st half of season), CHI (2nd half of season), and Buffalo. Once again, none of those teams I'd really consider as having a potent offense by any meaning of the word. So yea, they've been on a tear lately, but they're beatable.

Pete Prisco seems the be the only talking head that is giving the Falcons their due respect. He's also the only one I've seen mention the FACT that if RGIII doesn't get hurt the Seahawks don't win that game. No one else will bring that up because they know it's the truth and that it doesn't fit their agenda.

agreed and he went a mighty 1-3 last week....I don't see how you do that.....only picked GB right.....hoping he has a much better time this week....

But I will say Pete picked us in some other games along the way where many gave us no chance......I typically like Pete's analysis though sometimes his writing can be a stretch.

Everyone said that about our win over the Redskins.
