That's y Eli is considered a clutch QB, and Joe is a clutch QB too, but winning next 2 games will solidify his case. Regardless who we are facing, nothing is we can't overcome after numerous adversities we've been through....

True, but I'd rather not spend the entire offseason listening to Jamie Dukes say Flacco was handed the Lombardi because he played a guy in Kaepernick who's had less then 10 starts in his career.

Well, beating up Manning/Brady to SB is not enough?

With or without Ryan doesn't make anything different cuz Brady/Manning both have more credibility, stats wise, SB rings, first HOF ballot, and more hype than 10x Ryan combined. Therefore, Ryan is crap comparing to them.....

[ravensdfan]

Honestly, as long as we're the other team in the SB, I could care less who represents the NFC. lol

Likelihood Crabtree doesn't play because he's being accused of sexual assault?

I think we would embarrass Kaepernick. Like, to the point where Jim has to put Alex Smith in in the second half. I'm scared of their running game with Gore & James, plus their defense is no joke.

I rather play the Falcons just because I think we match up better with them, whoever we face I think we can beat, and both would have good storylines but IDC. I just want us to be champs soooo bad.

Well this is the differences between franchises

Out here they have there second playoff season in 10 years, and they think that the backup is elite, and Kap is the next Brady.

Out here we haven't missed the playoffs in 5 years, and people still want Joe gone.

Anyway, out here Kap walks on water and is unbeatable

Kapernick has not faced a competent Defense, and that Secondary is overrated.

[/quote]I looked up his game log and you're wrong. He's faced 4. (Chicago, STL x2, & SEA).

His record is 1-2-1.

He also doesn't play well on the road, that's part of why I think Atlanta wins.

It also reminded me he threw 4 TDs and 1 INT @ NE. Let's go Joe!!

[display name]

I'm hoping for a Harbowl.
This will be a close game. That SF defense took a big step back in recent weeks, and if they can't contain that Atlanta offense, I think the Falcons will win.

So Matt Ryan wins one playoff game and now he is nick named "The Natural"? I just heard them on NFL Network say this... "Can Colin Kaepernick out duel The Natural"?. Unbelievable.

It's "Mattural" and Rich Eisen came up with it a long, long time ago. It's silly but whatever. It's just a nickname and it has nothing to do with him winning his first playoffs game.

[Guest Im An Ozzie Newsome Guy]

Any update on the status of Michael Crabtree?

Down to the last three games of this season, and hopefully the Ravens not only play today, but also in the last game in two weeks. I am so thrilled for them! Fox did a great job with the Championship Chase program, and watching the Ravens segments gave me chills. I would enjoy a Harbaugh Bowl, but will enjoy watching the 9ers and Falcons play with no favorite. I can't wait to see the Ravens send the Patriots home!

[codizzle]

49ers should win

But I really want to pick the falcons so I will

[flaccopoe]

This week, I'm betting on BAL and SF, so a lot's riding on the HarBowl!

[A Fish Called Yanda]

I have a dilemma.

I'd prefer to face the Falcons if we make it to the SB, but I'd prefer New England to face the 49ers if we lose to them.

So I can't really root for either team until I know the result of our game.

Good point! I wish our game was first to cut down on the never ending suspense!!

[hawkprey]

This game is huge. I mean, the winner of this game is going to lose the Super Bowl.

Talk about high stakes.

[Nge2grads]

Atlanta stadium is beautiful. Boy - it will be loud!! Let's enjoy the first of two great games today.

[Grendelwulf21]

Got my vodka mixed drink and a bunch of mushed up cookies for this game! yummmmmmmm

[SecretAgentMan]

I want Atlanta, I think we could beat them easier than the 69ers

One Playoff Win: Matt Ryan becomes the natural

One win every year since entering NFL: Becomes Flukeo

[Purple Nurple]

Made that look easy.

[Nge2grads]

Nice looking pass Matty Ice! Falcons are first to score today. Let Kap loose!

With Julio Jones it is easy

[ratedr]

I'll be shutting off all media with Ryan making the SB before Flacco. I'd actually have to root for the Patriots.

[JO_75]

The 49ers defense was picked apart so easily by Matt Ryan that I don't know if the 49ers defense knew they were playing a game today.
