Seahawks @ Falcons game thread

[RIpats88]

To be fair if by luck we both end up in the superbowl i feel atlanta would have more trouble with our defense than brady would have with theirs

 

[HeadHunter]

Don't like Seattles plan to just lay down here...they don't get the bal back after the half.

 

[Foxypats]

great half by Atlanta

 

[FourierSeries]

Let's relax about Atlanta. Seattle has played a very sloppy game. Penalties, tripping in the end zone, busted coverages, etc. It's not surprising that they're down given how much they've sucked since that first drive.

 

[BritPat]

That drive from Ryan was spectacular. Falcons are legit.

 

[Jlaff]

Pathetic, sorry but are you capable of playing for 60 minutes, or just 59?

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Atlanta gets the second half KO, if they score a TD, they go up by three scores and Seattle could be in serious trouble.

 

[VectorPrime]

No depth and a defense that relies heavily on the skills of one player. It's a timebomb really..

The Seahawks have a dominate player on every level of their defense. Bennet on the line, Wagner on the backers, Chancellor on the safeties, and Sherman on the corners. Now the players around them might be weak but they have playmakers.

Just knowing we are watching infinitely better football today than all of last week is great.

 

[pwes]

A lot of overreactions. The Falcons offense is legit but their defense leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[varjao]

Wow what a ****y Pete Carroll, almost 1 minute and 3 timeouts and he just burn the clock? Does he know its a playoff game?

What's the problem with saying they have a great offense? Yeah their defense sucks but their offense deserves credit. They have a good QB. Good dynamic receivers. 2 multi dimensional dyamic running backs. A tight end who has been productive this year. And they finally got their offensive line to play at a high level for the first time since 2012. I'm not particularly scared of Atlanta but they have a great offense. That is a fact.

Ryan has played great.

And the entire house of cards falters without Earl Thomas against the top offense units. Pretty expensive row of spectators they have..

 

[BritPat]

Just watching the Safety (missed it live) - why the heck are the Seahawks not in Shotgun? Falcons showed how to do it which is what the Pats always do - Shotgun and spread them out.

Where did I imply that we shouldn't say they have a good offense?

Seatle's d is just night and day without ET.
So, princess wave to them.
Atlanta looks decent.

They were awful too without chancellor last year too. Safety has become a premier position in the NFL

Belichick has done the exact same thing.

That's what most people are saying isn't it?
