Seahawks @ Atlanta (1 Viewer)

[sho nuff]

Yeah...call us when Carroll has a tatoo of a chick in a Russell Wilson jersey.

Someone should change the title to "Seahawks @ Atlanta (Green Bay)" so the two Packer fans on the board who aren't already partaking in the thread can know where their people are

 

[Alkahsu]

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.

Gonzalez is the player that scares me the most for this game.

Why? Gonzalez is terrible. This is his 16th season and he's never won a playoff game.

Because he is going to be the one that gets open. I'm not too concerned with Browner and Sherman's ability to limit Roddy and Julio, but that's gonna leave Gonzalez to work the middle of the field.

Just ignore em lol, like so many people do with ITS, crazy how people fall for the fishing in GB and Sea threads so much n this forum

 

[massraider]

His point is that he is a either the best troll since HUCKS, or is actually that much of a doosh. Stop replying, engaging, and otherwise expecting a rational answer. Geez.

I think you should stick around. I don't mind you guys also rooting for the Seahawks as well... Seriously though, let's get back to the real topic instead of all the mudslinging. I personally feel that the entire country (minus 49er and Falcons fans) would love to see a rematch. I'm pretty sure the media would eat it up too. I'm happy to root for the Packers this weekend against those Bay area clowns.

 

[sho nuff]

Id love to see it...though, for selfish reasons pulling for a Packers/Atlanta NFC title game as I have an in to some tickets and a free place to stay if I make the shortish drive from Nashville to ATL.

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.

Last 3 game stats:Frank Gore: 3 weeks prior to playing the Seahawks averaging 68 yards rushing. 28 Yards vs the Seahawks.Steven Jackson: 3 weeks prior to playing the Seahawks averaging 72.6 yards rushing. 52 Yards vs the Seahawks.Alfred Morris: 3 weeks prior to playing the Seahawks averaging 126 yards rushing. 80 vs the Seahawks.Michael Turner: 3 weeks prior to playing the Seahawks averaging 37 yards rushing.

Since Chicago the Seahawks are averaging 224 yards rushing a game and ATL is giving up 120 per game.

Atlanta in the playoffs meeting the hot second half team playing road warriors in the post season can only mean one thing:Seahawks 30 Falcons 27Seattle running game is red hot right now and that is the key to this game. On defense, the Seattle secondary needs to allow the front line and blitzers enough time to rattle Ryan. For the Falcons, they need to be balanced on offense to control the clock but if Ryan and those receivers can be productive with the long ball things can get ugly for the Seahawks.Wild card here is Atlanta is due to get to the championship but they have to get past their toughest foe of the year.A Seahawk win here sets up the potential for a much anticipated rematch with the Packers. Rodgers is a strong candidate for MVP so the stars could align for that blood bath!

If the Seahawks advance, either game is going to be a bloodbath rematch. Whoever (ahem, NE) comes out of the AFC might have an easy cruise to victory after either of those two NFCCG matchups devastate the two teams involved.

Gore actually averaged 80 yards/game rushing vs. the Seahawks.If you didn't know better, from reading these boards, you'd think that Seattle swept SF. News flash: hawks are a very vulnerable team without their canned-cheer support.

Valid point- I am thinking Seattle and the Broncos would be a great SB but the Seahawks sure do have a bullseye with GB, SF and NE. Hey ya gotta sock someone in the mouth if you want to be king of the hill so I give them credit.

Ture, Gore has usually had good games against eattle (unlike no 100 yd games out of 17 Jackson). However, which team do you think the Seahawks most resemble, the 1st quarter of the season version that had a chance to win on their last drive or the 3 weeks ago version that had essentially won the game in the first quarter?

Per point 1, fair enough, I misinterpreted your point. I agree with you that Turner is unlikely to take over the game, particularly since Quizz and Snelling have eaten into his playing time even more toward the end of the season.Per 2, I won't argue that the Falcons are a good rushing team this year, they're not. They are however a great screen team under Koetter, and the RBs have combined for 733 yds receiving this season. A good screen game can be an extension of the running game essentially, so I think 125 combined yds/game out of the backs isn't bad, considering the strength of the passing game and receivers.

Fair enough... I think the most exciting thing about this game will be the match up between White and Jones vs Seattle's big corners. In fact I think that match up will ultimately decide the game. Should be a great game and as a Seahawk fan I'm SO happy we don't have to see that abysmal FedEx field again.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Gore only had four carries in that 2nd Seattle game, cause the 49ers got throttled early on and all but abandoned the run, so I don't think his 28-yard night was any indication of their run defense suddenly getting better. And Morris was running all over them before Griffin became immobile on Sunday.Having said that, Atlanta can't run it well, and I don't think they will run it well against the Seahawks on Sunday. Time for Roddy White to put up or shut up. He has been running his mouth for a while about Atl's receiving corps supposedly being the NFL's best, but if they don't produce well against Seattle's great corners, he will look like a dope again.

They won't have to deal with a mobile QB so I would say their performance after RG3 slowed down is more comparable to how they fared against the run when they were scared of RG3.

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.

Wondering what kind of distance Longwell could put on his kicks anymore. I assume being in the dome it won't have that much of an impact anyway.

 

[Hooper31]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan take on the kickoff duties this week. I hear he kicked a ball so hard last week it passed 88 mph and shot into the future. People are expecting it to land sometime tomorrow.EDIT: holy crap, I meant to specify Jon Ryan. Didn't even consider that they had the same name. Or first = last. F it.

The Seahawks haven't lost by more than a touchdown all year. Among playoff teams, they've played the Packers, the Patriots, the 49ers twice, the Vikings, and now the Redskins. The Falcons have played two playoff teams - the Broncos and the Redskins. DVOA says the Seahawks are a better team, and so do the guys who set the lines. None of that relies on the fact that the Seahawks have been significantly better in the second half of the season. I'm not comfortable saying the Falcons are any better than the Seahawks. I'm also not comfortable saying the Falcons are significantly better than the Pack, Patriots or 49ers, none of whom have beat the Seahawks by more than a TD. Thinking this will be a walk for the Falcons seems foolish.

Maybe this is why all the Packer fans are in here. Two former Packers.Though, I will say, Jon Ryan really improved after leaving. He always had the big leg but was constantly outkicking the coverage and was awful at pinning teams deep. He really got that down well.Worked out well for GB too as we found a punter as well.

The game Sunday at the Georgia Dome is sold out, but plenty of those tickets ended up on the secondary market. As of Tuesday afternoon, StubHub.com was offering more than 9,000 tickets that started at $60 for single upper end-zone seats.

So, tickets still available on Stubhub = worst sports town in America? You do realize there are tickets available to every playoff game on Stubhub, including the Super Bowl, right?
