Miller2Rison Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Matt Ryan has been playing lights out football as of late. I think we can be as dangerous as the pack in the playoffs but it depends on what defense shows up, the one that showed up against the saints and packers or the one that showed up against the lions, jags, and bucs. Our soft zone defense scares the sh1t out of me going in to the playoffs but we couldn't ask for a better match up in the first round than the new york giants, hopefully we can take care of business the third time around in the post season, and im sure the experts expect us to be one and one yet again. If by some miracle the Lions pull off the the upset against the Saints than we will have another great match up against the 49ers. If the Saints win we will be going into Lambeau field where we have had the most success against the packers, and of course there is the potential nfc championship game against the saints or the pack. What would be even crazier if the NFCCG was in atlanta against detroit, now that would be pretty dam unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 In 08, you could tell he was wearing down from hitting the rookie wall. I think last year, we shut our offense down before the playoffs, and really handcuffed him. The MNF game last season, the offense just looked lethargic and predictable. When we couldn't force a punt on the Packers, it really put it all on Matt, and the INTs just killed any momentum we could muster. Matt is in rhythm, and gets better by the week. I really like his growth the 2nd half of this season, and Mularkey finally figuring out how to use Julio. I can't wait to see how he plays this Sunday.

The Stews were talking about Chris Carter pulling them aside the last time they were on ESPN, and talking about how special Julio is. What better way for him to showcase his ability than a nice playoff tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanForLife Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yep Matt is looking very well right now. But the key will be our running game as usual. We just have to get that cranking to beat the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan_Falcon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 His biggest liability in the postseason is INTs. Just maintain possession and we move to round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karst41 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Teams that win in December play in January, so pretty much all of the teams that are in the playoffsare on a hot streak.Regarding Julio:This kid came out of a big time program and played in front of Massive Crowds."Its the same game" Tommy Nobis.

Carl927 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Squeaking into the playoffs in the final quarter of your last game isn't much momentum.Blowing-out a division rival in the first quarter after you've already clenched? Momentum, baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
