Seahawks @ Atlanta (1 Viewer)

[Fla\/\/ed]

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.

I looked at "packseasontix" the first part of your name and asked myself..... why are packer fans so concerned about the Seahawks. Out side of the Hawks fan base, and the opponents fan base....why is the Pack fan base so active in Seahawk related threads?

You've never trolled in a non-Seahawk thread before.............

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.

First Downs:22 vs 15

Avg gain per play:

5.6 vs 3.8

Net Yards rushing:

224 vs 104

Net Yards passing:

156 vs 99

Give Away / Take Away:

1/2 vs 2/1

Time of Possession:

34:20 vs 25:40

The only area of the game WAS 'won' was 3rd down efficiency and red zone efficiency.

I don't think some of the people posting in here actually watched the game. I think they're just looking at the final score.

Or some people watched the game, enjoyed it, thought it was exciting and realize the game was not as close as the score would indicate.

Atlanta is severely underrated. It's amazing to me that people give Ryan #### for his performance in three games and totally overlook his complete body of work. He's a very good quarterback and he will prove people wrong.

Same reason I give Peyton #### for his poor performances in the playoffs. Heck even Favre could be thought of that way but he got to two Super Bowls early in his career to shutdown that thought process and always won the home games for the most part.Ryan has done jack to deserve any praise except knowing his name and that he is one of the top 10 QBs, alot of people win during the season... its all about the playoffs and the championships.BradyManningRodgersAll looked at as elite and all have that championship.RomoRyanStaffordThis is the group that are good QBs but don't win big games - yet as Ryan could remove himself and take a step towards the elite category if he can win 1 or 2 games this post season.

Matt Ryan has been average at home this year...and has choked in the playoffs. Mentally he is already defeated.

Peyton lost his first two playoff games as well. I don't see the argument. The Falcons ran into some hot teams the past two years that both went on to win the super bowl. Someone's gotta win! I like their chances this year, but I would love to see an upset with Seattle... so they have to re-match against GB at Lambeau!

It'll be an awesome rematch no matter what if Seattle can get past ATL. Neither team in that other match will need extra motivation to get up for the Hawks, as well as the Hawks obviously not needing it either. I think one of the knocks against ATL, imo, is a lack of passion. Doesn't seem like there's that extra gear of sheer hatred or determination or conflict or.... not sure if I'm coming up with the right words. They just seem to be the most passionless of the 4 remaining NFC teams. That might fuel the "ATL is in a bad swing" perception.It's going to be great watching Sherman and Roddy (or Jones, but I suspect Roddy). Washington more or less ignored his half of the field but watching these two pro bowl snubs should make for a great matchup as Ryan will not ignore him.

Which way is it again? Roddy at home and Julio on the Road? Can never remember as I don't own either of them.Sherman should be more upset than Roddy though, his was based off the drug test results that shouldn't have been leaked as it was overturned.This game comes down to 2 things in my mind:Can whoever is not covered by Sherman make sure they have their A game (Julio/White/Tony)?Will Wilson be able to pick up a couple of the 3rd and longs with his feet?

Seattle wins because it's closer to Canada.End of story

I love Canada. Canadians are awesome.

Well, they do have a tendency to shoot each other less frequently than we do.

I expect Tony to have a good game. He'll have most people covering him already beat before the snap of the ball because of his football IQ. But the basis of the defensive backfield has been: let the CBs take care of the WRs so that the safeties and LBs can help each other out. Specifically, letting Earl Thomas and his blazing speed run around where he's needed, like on the INT yesterday. While the one on one matchup of Sherman vs whoever will be good, the whole passing game should be a good battle to watch, with ATL having so many weapons, including guys that Sherman won't be able to necessarily smother most of the time like usual.I can see Roddy being just as upset since his own, inferior (stats wise) teammate got the nod.

They do it the way things should be done. With their fists, not with guns. Got a problem with someone? You don't shoot them, you fight them. There was a video project on RealTV or something like that where a guy had a camera on top of a building across the street from a very popular bar in Edmonton for a year. There was over 1000 fights in front of the bar over the year but less than 5 instances where a weapon was used, no guns. No deaths. Men took care of their business like men. Wish we could go back to those days here.

Everyone on here is right to hate on us, although it seems we never get credit for significant accomplishments---such as handing Eli Manning his first career shutout a couple of weeks ago. That's OK though, we have to prove them wrong and that will happen this weekend.

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".

Don't worry. Despite what you think, the rest of football has a high opinion of the Seahawks. If you get past them, there won't be any of that. Also you might be the only person around who wants Seattle right now.

Im pretty sure the Falcon WR's are watching game film of Browner and Sherman beating up the Redskins WR's and they don't want to play Seattle right now.

I'm pretty sure if the Falcon WRs saw your comment they would laugh in your face before they pummel it.

 

[Alkahsu]

Despite ATL's home record Matt Ryan actually plays worse at home.

Home:

QBR 86.2

TDs: 11

INTs: 9

Away:

QBR 111.3

TDs: 21

INTs: 5

If Ryan plays his typical home game he is going to have some real trouble with the Legion of Boom.

Your right since Garcon, Hankerson, and Paulsen are a similar skill set to White, Jones, and Gonzalez.

I think people are confusing Sherman and or Browner with good cover corners.. they're not elite in that regard. They use physicality to stop WR's on the line and are put in good position to make plays because of the Seattle pass rush. With that being said it looks like Clemons is not going to play from here on out. If the Falcons can manage to pick up the Seattle blitz packages and keep the safeties honest with a sound running game/Tong Gonzo then I expect Roddy/Julio to make a few big plays against the secondary. Big factor in this game other than what I mentioned will be Matt Ryan not turning the ball over. If all of that happens then the Falcons will have a good chance to win the game.I expect Seattle to run the ball well enough but like ATL, can they pick up the blitz and limit turnovers. I like Wilson more than Ryan to evade pressure which is a given but I have a feeling Atlanta is going to do what it takes to win this game. Thinking a 26-23 score.

1) Sherman is the best corner in the game. He is a lock-down cover corner who happens to also play physical. 2) Seahawks really don't blitz often very often.

The Hawks win this game. Until Matt Ryan can show me he's ready to step up i'll always pick against the Falcons in the playoffs.

You're correct with regard to Browner, but Sherman is an excellent cover corner. They aren't the same player. Browner is the fighter. Sherman plays with much better technique and has some of the best ball skills I've ever seen out of a CB in Seattle. If the balls in the air deep Sherman has the ability to turn into the WR. He plays great trail technique as its hard to get the ball over him. Sherman led all DBs this year in passes defended, and you have to realize that he's the guy most teams avoid.

This is a quote from that article..."Revis is still the best cornerback in the NFL"That doesn't say that Sherman is the best corner in the game.

 

[Hooper31]

Sherman is not the best corner in the game

I'm sure you can make an argument for several other players. Do you have a top 5? And what specifically makes someone else better? Is this a statistical argument, or is it that some other DBs pass your eye test where Sherman doesn't?

Bottom line is he can't use statistics to disprove it because the data only proves Sherman is the best. He is just saying "he isn't"...typical "because I said so argument".

Don't even bother. He'll talk semantics all day about why he's right. That article also lists Randy Moss and Steve Smith along with Calvin Johnson when he was noted as dealing with injury at the time. Games later in the year vs SJ and Marshall were blips on the radar for Sherman but Id still want to see more opponent matchups. Good article thoughStevie Johnson a few weeks ago had his way with Sherman so we'll see

So that means if Sherman and Browner can disrupt him early he'll struggle all game, that's nice to know....And what about his TD production being half at home? Do they rely more on Turner at home? I hope that's their gameplan against the Hawks.

The Raiders game was week 6 and the Cards week 11 so not sure what to tell you. Neither really reflect anything current but its on tape so... Im sure Seattle will break it down and or have already.Turner hasnt gotten more than 16 carries since Week 9. I expect a combination of looks with Ridgers involved.I expect this game to be decided on who handles the fronts pressure and which QB can make the right decision along with limiting TO.

 

[Truman]

Seattle has beaten 4 playoff teams:

Ne, SF, GB, Washington..

unless/until Atl shows the have a spine and that they're for real, I'll take Seattle getting pts..

show me Matty Ice producing in a big spot,and I'll become a believer. this team got steam-rolled last year in the playoffs @ NYG..show me that M. Smith can coach well enough to win a playoff game..

ATl *seems* to be tougher/better this season, but the way they laid down against NYG on their last playoff trip,it leaves a lot to be desired. never bet against the hot team in the playoffs..GB two years ago, NYG last year, Pitt a few years back..

Seattle is peaking now..and they're playing with house money..Atl had the bye,the home game.they have a lot of pressure to produce, being that they were one of the NFL's best reg season teams...they also need to make up for the quitting effort in last year's playoffs..

It was a one score game through 3 quarters. Thankfully the co-ordinator of that offensive performance has now been banished to Jacksonville.

Atl fans are definitely the worst ( see the Braves and Thrashers as an example). My wife and I travel there a lot and we have attended many games. I think this is mainly due to the fact that it's a transplant city. Regardless, the team is pretty good and I think it will be a much tougher matchup for Seattle. I don't think Seattle will win but if they do and Wilson has another good game, I'm pretty much on board to anoint him as the next great one.

Hey, at least you guys can keep a NBA team in town.ouch

I'm sure you can make an argument for several other players. Do you have a top 5? And what specifically makes someone else better? Is this a statistical argument, or is it that some other DBs pass your eye test where Sherman doesn't?

Bottom line is he can't use statistics to disprove it because the data only proves Sherman is the best. He is just saying "he isn't"...typical "because I said so argument".

All I said was is that he's not the best. I'd take Revis all day. I didnt say he wasnt a very good player.

You said he wasn't an elite cover corner.

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.

Interesting game...if Seattle covers like they did early against Washington...Ryan should be able to pick them apart underneath.

Gonzo could be in for a nice game that way.

But ATL cannot run like Washington so that should neutralize some of that advantage ATL has in the pass game there.

ATL has a decent defense but were not great against the run...look for Sea to exploit that a bit.

In the end...Ryan has to prove he can win in the postseason.

Seems like Wilson would be the one who needs to prove something. C'mon man. You all are way underestimating the Falcons.

They do it the way things should be done. With their fists, not with guns. Got a problem with someone? You don't shoot them, you fight them. There was a video project on RealTV or something like that where a guy had a camera on top of a building across the street from a very popular bar in Edmonton for a year. There was over 1000 fights in front of the bar over the year but less than 5 instances where a weapon was used, no guns. No deaths. Men took care of their business like men. Wish we could go back to those days here.

keep it in the FFA please.. lord knows we dont need it in here
