Yeah, they're good, but lez be honest.

Their schedule over the last month was a cakewalk. They lost to KC and Philly before that.

Then they got a Seattle team who's terrible on the road, lost the player their defense centers around especially pass defense, and can't do anything on offense while also having maybe the worst OL in the league, at home, where Matt Ryan didn't have to worry about playing from behind for 3/4 of the game.

Seattle was probably the easiest matchup in the playoffs for them. I had ATL easily covering the spread.

They're a great offensive team, but they're definitely beatable.

Don't recall seeing a more balanced team than the Falc, blokes.
Blimey, the Seafakes were reeling!

Beware the Falcons.

As far as power rankings, I don't think the Pack measures up to their strengths.
We, on the other hand, hale fellows, shall need a balanced attack for the Falcs and we'll need to score 35 points or more!

Respect to those respecting the Falcs. To those all enamored of the Seahags, not so much.

I was hoping the Seahawks would win because I am scared of high powered offenses. Teams that can score quickly and often scare me because then we would become one dimensional to try and keep up. I wanted Seahawks cuz they are less explosive.

Tomorrow I am worried about how Rodgers can score and score quickly. But after watching the game tonight the Falcons looked pretty good. They looked hard to defend. But the good news, is the Seahawks had some injury issues coming into the playoffs and we are as healthy as we can be starting the playoffs so that's also a factor. I feel we can beat any team if we don't beat ourselves, sounds like a cliche but with this team it's really the truth.

Hawks limped into Detroit and beat a struggling Lions team. Fully expected Atlanta to beat Seattle. Falcons are decent but Dallas is better. Dallas will beat them.

No one more balanced than the Falcons? You should check out Dallas.

Yep. Falcons' offense is one of those that comes around once a decade (more often in recent years). They're good. Ryan is playing lights out. No way the Packers win the Super Bowl with Rodgers playing by himself. If they somehow beat us, they'll get crushed by a Falcons team that does everything better than they do. Only way Packers beat us is if we get into a shoot-out and Dak can't outscore Rodgers (no shame in that). But Ryan is easily outscoring Rodgers with that offense they have in Atlanta. He's outscoring Brady too if it's offense vs offense. The thing about New England is they also have a good defense.

Nope. For weeks they have been talking about Dallas being a cake walk and they didn't want to see Green Bay or New York. They actually had radio callers call in about their preference between going on the road to Dallas or facing GB at home. Many said come to Dallas.

Well then they likely haven't watched Dallas play.

Or,,maybe they have! I've always said the way to beat us is pass,pass,pass hurry up,no huddle, two minute drill,,,I believe I saw tom Brady doing that against Houston in the 3rd quarter yesterday,,,, man our secondary can be torched .

The Falcons are my Superbowl pick ( thought that even before 'hawks game). Veteran QB who's deadly indoors and possibly won't have to play outside throughout the play offs. Fear the 'ice'!

Good let them underestimate us. Not sure why they're so confidence with thier crap defense. Just like GB we are going to cram the ball down thier throats while the offense sits helplessly on the bench. They've got firepower but they are weak on the other side of the ball.

My thoughts exactly . . . those wishing to come to Dallas might be having second thoughts after playing about one quarter or so with us. I really suspect our defense is better equipped to deal with their offense than their defense is likely to survive our attack. Little do they realize exactly what they're wishing for.
