Yeah they got lucky with their division being abysmal. 

Crazy to think of a dominant NFCS team beating up on a NFCW team that only got to the playoffs because it was the least rubbish in its division.

As someone said before, he played hurt when he was with us. Which explains why he was so scared to do anything. Now he's healthy and look at him, that's on our medical team for not seeing that Hester was still hurt and advising us not to sign him.

Can we fire our medical team?

[JO_75]

Wonder if the 49ers are potentially willing to wait out until after the Super Bowl if the scenario happens of Patriots vs Falcons. Since they are interested in McDaniels and Matt Patricia, and Shanahan, will they wait or go elsewhere?

Yeah I have had Ryan as my fantasy QB so I got a pretty good look at this group, been like this all year

Helps a lot when you have TEs helping O line block. Exactly what we played in 2014, the difference being 2 excellent RBs as opposed to one of ours and Falcons WR group.

That just makes it worse that we aren't in there!!!!!

Our playoff game was in Pittsburgh and we sadly weren't good enough. But at least we get an earlier pick out of it. If we won I think we would be playing in KC this week otherwise

Yeah its kinda funny. I remember calling the NFC south a couple years ago the NFC South of .500. It's still a pretty trash division but whatever.

These refs...he secured the ball with the ground.

Says who? Hester tried. Blocking sucked

He looked like a rookie just fielding the ball. Did the blocking do that to him?   LMAO!  

Judging from his performances last week and this he was obviously just disinterested here, not washed up like most said.

Yeah their TEs have been solid in that department. If they are lacking anything though it is a good pass catching TE but that is a nitpick

huh? they overturned it

That's what I mean...he didn't secure it at all, it hit the ground.

[Inqui]

What a bizarre intercept.  

[JO_75]

Now that's the game, Seahawks have no timeouts left and only the 2 minute warning to stop the clock.

[ratedr]

What a pick!

[rossihunter2]

that play was amazing - i always wondered why some players never tried to do that before i always assumed there was some rule against it or something but now i see there isnt lol - that was great

man this game was fun

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Wilson needs an Oline for sure

Bring back the death penalty.  

Draw and quarter Devin!   lol

[JO_75]

I love the fact we are the only team to go into New England and beat the Patriots but I'm alright if the Texans want to pull off the playoff upset of the decade.

Seriously Seahawks.... you all lost don't pout over it.

[ratedr]

The Falcons are ready. I think they will be playing Green Bay...I don't trust rookie QBs in the playoffs.

[rossihunter2]

i love the fact that the seahawks got really chippy on 3 kneels in victory formation - like calm down guys you lost there's nothing you can do about it

[JO_75]

Took Mike Smith 5 years to get the Falcons to the NFC Championship Game, Dan Quinn has the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game in only his second season. 

[Tank 92]

Let's gooooo Texans?   One can hope, game hasn't started yet.  haha

If Green Bay wins, they play in Atlanta

That's the tough game to pick. If any rookie QB is going to get to the SB Dak would have to be up there with that OL and running game.

Though gun to my head I'd probably pick the Packers too. They seem like the "it" team this year.

They seem to have that momentum of the hot team that we see in years past but I think Atlanta has more of the "It" team factor this year more than anyone.

you have to think that with the way atlanta dissected potentially the best defense in the nfl - how is anybody else going to defend against it - this was statistically a below average day for their offence which is the crazy thing - imagine what this offense will do to literally any of the defenses left in the playoffs

Agreed, Atlanta has all the pieces finally. ATL/GB would be a hell of a title game, but I would still give the edge to ATL should it happen, especially with Jordy Nelson's status up in the air.

i dunno - aaron rodgers has been pretty much unplayable the last 6 weeks - i like atlanta a lot and id prefer them to green bay but the packers are absolutely rolling - playing some magical football - nelson will be out this week though

lol this is game is going to be of wild card quality. Very possible that it's even worse.

I know, Patriots beat Texans 27-0 in the regular season. What is tonight's game going to be like?
