Seahawks @ Atlanta (1 Viewer)

[Buffaloes]

If I had to pick a (remaining) team I want to play this weekend, it would definitely be Seattle, in the NFC or AFC for that matter. I just hope they don't give us the "oh that doesn't get the monkey off your back, you gotta beat a real contender".

as a fan of neither team, I think Seattle matches up really well against ATL this week.

 

[mad sweeney]

You said he wasn't an elite cover corner.

I also said he wasnt the best so whats your point. He's a very good player.

My quote above was a response to you saying "All I said is he isn't the best". My point is that that isn't all you said. You also said he isn't an elite cover corner.

True. I based it on the style of play and the pressure Seattle gets on the QB. I also know Sherman has been beaten on double moves a bit. Just going off of the games Ive watched

Wasnt sure if Tillman, Jennings, Cromartie or maybe Bailey were ahead. Guess "elite" wasnt an appropriate word to use

 

[PatsFanCT]

I'm rooting hard for Seattle. They're a real likable team. If this game was in Seattle, I'd give them a shot to win. But as someone mentioned earlier, Atlanta is being way underrated. Unfortunately, I think Atlanta wins this pretty easily. I'll say 34-14 Falcons.

Every corner gets beat sometimes. Every elite player gets beat sometimes. If you want to say he isn't an elite cover CB, you're in a very small minority.

after reading a little more it appears Im totally wrong. I didnt realize he was that good in terms of pure coverage. I watch enough hawks games to know he's a very good player but I lumped him in with being very good because of other indicators. Knew he was top 5 but he's more like 1/2

I think this is going to be a very tough game for the Seahawks.

I actually expect us to be able to stop the run game. I think we're going to be able to run the ball okay. I also think Atlanta has the offensive firepower to come back from a deficit (if they get into one) fairly quickly. I also think this will be the toughest matchup for our secondary we've seen this year--by quite a bit. I'm also very concerned about an already troubling pass rush that is now going to be without Clemons...I'm not sure if Bruce Irvin is ready to step up and I have even more concern about him as a run stuffer.

This ATL team reminds me a lot of the Seahawks 2005 team in which they had a (relatively) easy schedule and aren't getting credit for the record they have. I don't think the Seahawks or Seahawks fans should be dismissive--we certainly didn't want to hear is back then and any previous post season failures are in the past for the Falcons and those were different teams and coordinators. (It could be a Matt Ryan thing, but I really don't think that's the case.)

This is going to be a tough game and I think this will be a lot closer of a game. I may even put us as the underdogs that will need to play our best game this year in order to squeak out a win.

30 to 13 Hawks blow out the FAILcons.

you do realize that nobody is picking it up don't you?

 

[BassNBrew]

Russell Wilson has been average on the road this year...and has choked in baseball, at NCState, and at Wisconsin. Mentally he is already defeated.

 

[ImTheScientist]

On a side note with Clemons out and Irvin starting in the LEO I think ATL is in for a tough time. Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce is from ATL .... I can see him wiping down Ryan 2 or 3 times this week. I wonder if they will sign Ray Edwards. He worked out for the Hawks last week and will have a huge chip on his shoulder since ATL released him.

Would be hysterical if you signed Ray Edwards. This guy was flat-out cut from a team who desperately needs all the pass-rushers they can get.

At this point a body is a body, plus they could pick his brain about the D and it's weakness (other than himself).

Seahawks playing very well right now. Atlanta is a pretender.

Hope your joking, did you just seem them play the Redskins with really no quarterback for 3 quarters? They still almost lost if it wasn't for Miller in the 1st quarter on 3rd down and Miller in the 4th quarter on 3rd down.

Dude...give it up...really.It was a playoff game against a good team.

They played well...and while it was closer than some would want to admit...they did not almost lose.

Did you not watch the same game?? You're kidding yourself if you think they didn't almost lose.

Keep trolling...seems what you do best on two different boards now bashing the Hawks....Look...many of their fans annoy me too...does not mean we have to lie about what happened.

It was a close game...but they did not almost lose.

This woulda coulda shoulda been different if Miller does not catch that ball in the first sounds great and all...but he did catch it.

Wasn't the score 14-13 Washington with 7:08 left in the game?

Did people watch the game? This is a tired argument...

SEA ends the 1st half with a FG making 13-14

SEA receives to start the 3rd Q and marches down to the WAS 1 where Lynch fumbles

WAS is only able to get to their 26 (started at their 3) and has to punt

SEA starts at their 30, marches to WAS 28 before Russel gets sacked and they have to punt since Hauschka was gimpy

WAS goes 3 and out and punts

SEA goes 3 and out and punts

WAS starts at their 22 and advances to their 39 and punts

SEA starts at their 21, marches to the WAS 27 and Lynch runs it in for a TD

then they convert for +2 putting them up a TD (7)

SEA was pressuring the entire time and would have put up more points if not for two plays, Lynch's fumble and the 9 yard sack putting them out of FG range.

 

[jojoh07]

26 - 21 ATL

Game wont be as close that score indicates either

 

[Riversco]

The key to this game is Tony Gonzalez. He might cause coverage problems for the Seahawks. The Seahawks have had coverage problems against stud TEs. That's why I think if the Seahawks can just get past the Falcons, they get to the Super Bowl because neither GB nor SF have a stud TE. Once there, they would be happy to just not see the Patriots on the other side of the field.

Yeah, the Vernon Davis guy kind of sucked last year in the playoffs.

 

[J-LEW]

Atlanta home record: 7-1

Seattle road record: 3-5

Atlanta record vs (Vick, RGIII, Cam): 7-1

Not quite sure how Seattle is getting soo much love in this game. Atlanta has proven that they can contain running QB's with a 7-1 record overall there last 8 games vs a running QB (3-1 this year vs RGIII/Cam). They have beaten quality teams at home including: Denver, New Orleans, NYG. There only two loses prior to week 17, were on the ROAD against division rivals Carolina and NO, who always play Atlanta tough. There third, and final loss of the year, came at home, in week 17 to division rival, Tampa Bay.

In contrast, Seattle was 3-5 on the road, with losses to: Cardinals, Rams, San Fran, Detroit, Miami. Not quite the road warrior the point spread is making them out to be. Yes, they have won 6 straight, but three of those wins came against Buffalo, St. Louis, and the Cardinals. The point spread is being largely influnced by this fact. Additionally, a 10 point road win vs a gimpy RGIII last week. Lets remember that the Skins put up two TD's on there first two drives, prior to RGIII getting gimpy. They were running the ball very well with Morris, and RGIII was making plays threw the air, as well as on the ground.

Final Score:

Seattle 20

Atlana 27

Alex Smith would throw to Vernon Davis a lot. Ever since Colin took over at QB, Vernon has had less than 1 reception per game.

[BRONG]

Turner the Burner is going to run all day, too big for Seattle D to deal with, they are only good with quickness IE smaller backs. hope this helps. Also long way to travel, btw.

 

[Truman]

Seahawks will be fine.

They're a team with a losing record on the road going to a venue on the other side of the country (their third cross country trip in 10 days) where Matt Ryan is 33-5.

Their top pass rusher is out and they are facing the team with the best receiving weapons in all of football (maybe Sherman can cover all 3 at once?)

So long as Marshawn Lynch rushes for 6.6 ypc, Matt Ryan tears a knee ligament and the replacement refs make a cameo I think the Hawks and their rookie QB will cruise.

Actually you have that pretty backwards. Seattle tends to have problems with shifty backs which dates back to last year. It's the big guys (and especially the ones that have lost two steps) that we don't have a problem with. Most Seattle fans are more concerned about Jacquizz Rodgers.Besides, Michael Turner has only run for over 83 yards twice during the regular season--and that was against Atlanta's "less than stellar" opponents. Michael Turner (a.k.a Slug Wheels) isn't going to discover the fountain of youth prior to this weekend.

Seahawks fans need to realize most of us saw two game per and post RG3 injury. The Seahawks still won but Washington was doing nothing with a lame RG3.Was Seattle looking to stop RG3 at all when he was playing before his injury?

Seattle is a good team but vs a playoff team on the road I don't like Seattle and Sundays game proved that even more to me.

Oh for sure, I know right I am so obsessed....Please get over yourself, I haven't liked the Seahawks since they hired Pete Carrol. Also I am not blinded with 'hatred' unlike your homerism. You can't tell me RG3 doesn't score at least 1 if not most likely 2-3 TDs if he had stayed healthy.I find it ridiculous for Seattle to throw stones at a 13-3 team that has always played very well at home with Ryan under center. On the flip side besides Washington Seattle hasn't beaten any playoff caliber teams except at home. Seattle is amazing at home and if they were the #1 they would be a heavy favorite for the Super Bowl they are on the road so I think they come up short, most likely this week but for sure against the 49ers/Packers next week.

[meyerj31]

I find it shocking that the Falcons are only 2.5 point favorites. I don't like betting sites, but I'd bet anyone on here up to $100 they cover that. There seem to be a lot of SEA homers on here that think they're gonna win easily. I don't see it.

 

[Yenrub]

I hope the game lives up to the hype in this threadI don’t hate either team but I will be pulling for the Seahawks (because of the NC State ties) Before the Redskins game I was pretty sure that the Seahawks would beat the Redskins and then the Falcons but with Clemmons injury I am not so sure about that anymore.

Atlanta has faced ONE top 10 rushing team at home this season (CAR r9) and gave up 199 yards rushing

Predictions:

Atlanta is held to 250 yards passing

Seattle gains at least 162 yards rushing

Seattle wins 28-21

Atlanta won against Denver, also the Tampa game can be thrown out as meaningless week 17 game most likely.

I think you had stats off before recently....Atlanta won against Denver, also the Tampa game can be thrown out as meaningless week 17 game most likely.

Fixed the DEN game, Ryan played the whole game in W17 w/ 44 pass attempts (avg's 38 per game otherwise) so not exactly meaningless.

All the pressure will be on Atlanta. 0-3 playoff record for the coach/qb will do that. Seattle playing with house money right now.

Very good chance Seattle is able to run on Atlanta, if they are able to run for 160+ yards they have a good chance of winningI put Atlanta's odds of passing on Seattle at:50% 250 yards or less25% 251-300 yards25% 300+ yardsIf it's 250 yards or less it hurts Atlanta's odds quite a bitIt will come down to the wire in the 251-300 passing yard range300+ and it will be a shootout for points with the advantage going to AtlantaRyan passed for under 250 yards 4 times (all at home) average pass defense rank: 21.5Ryan passed for between 250-301 yards 6 times (twice at home) average pass defense rank: 14.3Ryan passed for more than 301 yards 6 times (twice at home) average pass defense rank: 23as previously noted in passing yards/game given up Seattle ranks 6th

Seahawks fans need to realize most of us saw two game per and post RG3 injury. The Seahawks still won but Washington was doing nothing with a lame RG3.Was Seattle looking to stop RG3 at all when he was playing before his injury?Seattle is a good team but vs a playoff team on the road I don't like Seattle and Sundays game proved that even more to me.

Is there a packer fan that is not obsessed with their hatred for Seattle?

Is there a Seattle fan that doesn't wish you would just shut up?I'm a Packer fan and don't hate Seattle. I'm not a fan of the rahrah coach but they're a very good team. And I like Wilson a lot.I invested heavily in Seattle for a playoff draft so I suddenly like them quite a bit.

 

[donkshow]

It's going to be a close game. I'm on the Seattle bandwagon like many others (DEN/SEA SB) but this will be a tough test. 2 of the best WR in the league and a top TE will be hard to stop. At least one will break out for a huge game. Lynch is going to have to go into Beast Mode again for the Seahawks to win.

He mistakes any criticism for hate.

Russell Wilson has more playoff wins than Matt Ryan.

And Mark Sanchez has more playoff wins then both. What's your point?
