LightningDawg58 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'll say this, I wasn't afraid of the Cardinals in 2008, thought that was the best matchup for us, I wasn't afraid of GB in 2010, we had already wooped them, and I darn sure wasn't afraid of NY last year, they backed in and looked like a great matchup for us. That said I will NEVER underestimate another playoff opponent with our team, Seattle has two things we struggle against this year, a strong running game and a mobile QB. They have the potential to keep us off balance on D. Also, each of their losses was a close game so they compete no matter what. They've just posted 50 two weeks in a row and we have topped only 40 once. I don't care about their schedule they are scoring points. I woud not be surprised if they went on a run and made it back to the ship'. They are playing like a team that wants it. Do not sleep on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcndave Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The Falcons just became scary. Officially on the everyone's radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sheff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 We held RG3 to basically nothing though. Same with Vick.But Cam Newton went wild on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butudontseeme™ Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Being serious. Have they locked up a p/o spot yet? 100+ points in two weeks is impressive regardless of who you play in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 We held RG3 to basically nothing though. Same with Vick.But we made Peyton Manning,Eli Manning,Drew Brees and Tony Romo look silly. Alfred Morris had a big day because of Read option and RG III didn't run when we played the redskins. Cam Newton had big days in both the games.

Hustle Up Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If they do this against the 9ers next week then yeah they're scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Seattle are for real. I'd say tougher than the 49ers. Still, the key to beat both teams is to shut out the run and force them to pass. Their quarterbacks will eventually crack.

Tuggle'2 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The two games in a row with 50+ points , and their defense playing so well OMG. I am having thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnasty Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'll reserve judgment on em until next week. They're looking good, no doubt. There's also no way they will be able to sustain that kind of success. Hitting 50 two weeks in a row on a professional level is excellent, but smart teams/coaches figure out your M.O. and shut you down. Right now, their D is one of the best in the league. If we play them, we have 3 weeks to figure them out, I like out chances with that kind of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 But Cam Newton went wild on us.in one gamehe did not do too much vs us the first game.He had one big run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 in one gamehe did not do too much vs us the first game.He had one big run.Well honestly to me we did well against RG3 and Vick , we failed against Cam because he is huge. Nolan had the right plan just Cam is to dang big to single tackle. He ran through our defense because he simply is bigger then the guys trying to take him down.Disclaimer: So sad I have to do this. Yes the QBs named are black. I don't give a flying fu*k. Its that they can run and run well besides pass. Chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Proxy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The man is just looking ahead to potential playoff opponents. I think they are the dark horse of the NFC atm, however if they win out and beat the 49ers they might can still win the NFC West? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconTough Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Seattle gave me easy money today. Buffalo still got some points in the spread since its their "home" game. But the game was in Toronto. Hardly a road game. I live there and went last year, and it was a terrible atmosphere. So on equal turf could the Seahawks beat the Bills by 4.5?Lmao give me my money.

falcndave Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 To me, blanking the Giants 34-0 is more impressive that posting 50 on the Bills.Time to believe we are the scary team. Btw, Harrison didn't take it back this week...he just said the Falcons played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great defense and their offense is no joke now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, Harrison didn't take it back this week...he just said the Falcons played well.Of course our win is way more impressive. I think Atlanta can beat any of the remaining teams, especially if they play like today. That said, I would prefer to avoid SF and SEA in playoff. In fact I don't want us to play DAL either. But we can beat them all I have no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Falcons have to play aggressive like today. That's what some of us have been screaming for...I'm curious to see if they revert back to "smittyball" vs the Lions or do they bury them like they should.

GTJeff1975 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Seattle with Frodo Baggins at QB far from scares me. Wow! They beat a shi.tty Rams team & followed that up by beating an even shi.ttier Bills team. + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
