no one cares, but Sea vs Atl thoughts

my homer opinion was right with Wash, so here goes nothing. People are already writing Atl off with how hot the Seahawks are, but this game actually scares me more than my first glance at it. My issue is with the loss of Clemons. Think of it as the Niners loss of Justin Smith. The Seattle pass rush is borderline non-existent as is, and with his loss will get even worse. Irvin is a GREAT pass down blitz specialist, but he's much like Aldon Smith, he can be had on the run because he's just not big enough. He doesn't have that run wall capability. Everyone knows our defense is great, but if you give Ryan enough time in the pocket he should be able to create enough plays to score on numerous drives. What's in our favor is ATL doesn't run, but that could change if ATL game plans for Clemons absense. Either way, I still think the Hawks offense will be too much for the ATL defense. This game will come down to defense like it always does, and once again even with Clemons out, Seattle has a big edge there and they're much more balanced on offense and can sustain long drives that can keep ATL off the field.

Seattle ML.

24-20

And just so you know right now that I'm not a TRUE homer, if Seattle does win this game and travels to either GB or SF, I honestly can't say they win either game. Revenge factors on both sides, plus home field. Just stinks already.

Going to look hard at Sea, wild card teams have been tough
coming out with a road dog win.

ATL

Seattle has been a really hot team..but for some reason i just dont trust them on the road. They came up big after going down 14-0 in washington, but ATL is kinda like seattle at home....very tough to beat. I think Matty Ice gets his first playoff win at home.

Taking the Dirty Birds -2.5 and ML.

beat a discombobulated Peyton by 6, Carolina by 2, should've lost to the LOWLY Raiders but won by 3 (lol), cowboys by 6, Cardinals by 4 (matty ice 0 td's 5 ints), saints by 10 (double digits finally), Giants by 34 (and FINALLY 15 weeks in comes a quality win at home) and a loss to TB to cap off their season.

so as a rebuttle to your "we're like the Seahawks at home", not even close my friend. ATL doesn't even sniff the dominance Seattle has shown at home. Come on now. ATL may find a way to win this game, "any given sunday", but it'll be because Seattle shoots themselves in the foot.

here's what it boils down to.... Do you trust Matt Ryan in a playoff game to win it for you. This game is solely on his shoulders. No one else. Turner isn't going to beat them and neither is their D. Just Ryan. Do you trust him to beat this D? Simple as that.
