Falcons Have Been Waiting On This Game Ever Since They Lost To G-Men Last Year.

I’m not going to sit here and break down these two teams on paper, throw out stats, make predictions or find articles on the web that back up my thoughts. What I am going to tell you is the Falcons have been waiting on the game since the Giants played in the Divisional Round last year. We all follow the Falcons pretty close; we all know what’s at stake. THIS is the game they’ve been waiting for. Mike Smith has been preparing his team all year for this game and the Falcons quietly and methodically moved through the competition to the top seed.

Falcons have always had talent under Smith. They had the talent in 2010 and let the game get out of hand. But the mind set is different with this team. That’s the biggest difference. Forget what you hear on the media (Seattle, Seattle, Seattle), forget “expert” predictions, just sit back and enjoy the game Sunday. The Falcons have held on to rage for about a year and it’s about to be unleashed.

I think in the past coach has played not to lose these playoffs games. Conservative play calling trying to keep it close from the start. I hope he learned his lesson.
