Run game is good.. The 2 pronged attack of Coleman & Freeman is up there with the best once they get going. We were ranked 5th in the run game which some people forget & just think we are pass happy team... I read somewhere in 3 of our losses we rushed for under 50 yards. If we can establish the run we'll go along way to winning I think... Shannahan will surely have a well thought out game plan drawn up. I just hope the young defense can get some pressure on Brady & make some stops which is easier said then done! I've been optimistic troughout the playoffs... For some reason I'm quietly confident heading into the SB. Patriots haven't faced a top 10 ranked offense all year.. The highest ranked offense they faced was Seattle & they beat them comfortably

You got the day off for it ? I'm getting it off one way or another!

Well we've scored TD's on our opening drive the last 8 games, heres hoping we make it 9 & put the Pats behind the 8 ball

I think like the GB game it's whether our defense can make stops which against Brady isn't easy but I thought we'd struggle to hold Rodgers & we kept him to 0 points until the 3rd... We know what our offense will bring, it's just whether the inexperienced defense can get the job done.

We started out more of a zone defense but Quinn has adjusted a bit as the season has gone on and played more man to man

You'd think Lacy will help the Packers in the run game once fit next year. Still can't believe we've made the Super Bowl... Did not think in year 2 of Quinn we'd be there already but we've taken advantage of an even NFC year. Funny I've watched a few NFL shows the past couple of days & how the same people who called our defense out all year are saying how much it's improved which it has over the home stretch/playoffs but like I wrote in here out defense was never as bad as the rankings suggested, when we got 2+ scores up late in games they'd go into preservation mode & give up junk yards & scores. It'll be interesting to see how the young group (4 rookies & 2 2nd years) hold up against Brady on the big stage

I might have a bet each way ?... We lose the SB but I win the demonland post season tipping comp, great consolation prize!

Thanks Macca... That offense is too good. Injuries further crueld you guys from the opening kick off. Bring on the SB, not sure if I want Pats or Steelers...

May the best team win! @Macca

Davonte Adams is under an injury cloud too, McCarthy said he wont practice until Saturday... Saw the injury report for GB this morning, had a long list but majority would be active come Sunday you'd think

Falcons 35 - Packers 34 Genuinely can't believe I'm tipping us to make a SB. If I wasn't a Falcons fan I'd have the scores swapped around. Doing a dodgey at work Monday gotta be home to watch this live Patriots 27 - Steelers 24

The way Rodgers & the Packers won that game with 10 seconds remaining was the exact reason why I didn't want to play them.. Would have taken Dallas in Dallas over the Packers at home, not too confident against Rodgers!! But one of us will be there Macca (Packers have had their turn, give a small time team thats never won a SB a chance )

Wrapt with how the Falcons played.. Offense just keeps on putting up points but I was impressed with the defense, kept Wilson to 225 yards & had two INT. Intresting tomorrow in the NFC game. I'd rather go to Dallas in the NFCCG rather than have Rodgers come into the Dome. Feels good to finally have a successful sporting team since the dees in 2006!

Falcons 31 - Seattle 24 Patriots 34 - Texans 10 Cheifs 24 - Steelers 21 Cowboys 27 - Packers 30

Bad call, at the time I thought the Giants would take the momentum after scoring the TD on the back of that failed 4th & inches.... Not to be. Rodgers has been unbelievable since mid way through the 2nd qrt (the Oline had played a lot better too). That hail mary at the half was unreal... Packers & Rodgers keep on keeping on & all without Jordy Nelson . Glad we're on the other side, Packers are going to be hard to beat if their offense keeps this up. I'd favour GB in Dallas next week...

Both results expected really.. I feel for the Raiders, finally make the playoffs & do so without their star QB, have to think if Carr didn't go down they would have had a big say in the AFC. The Pats will demolish the Texans, they'd have to be one of the worst sides to make it through to divisonal week. Seattle don't really scare me next week can't see Rawls running for 160+ again but mobile QB's seem to give us trouble so Wilson gets going we could be in trouble. Looking forward to GB & NY tomorrow

- Packers are the team I do not want to run into. I feel their the only side who can go toe to toe with our offense. - Giants are the next, if Eli gets going... Their defense is probably the best left in the NFC - Doubt Seattle will be able to overcome the injuries on defense to make a SB run however they SHOULD account for Detriot at home this week. - Think the Cowboys could be in trouble. Their best shot is if Detriot upset Seattle. Honestly can't see their defense holding Rodgers & Giants have their measure this season. - Agree with you in the AFC Macca, you'd say Patriots have a free ride to the AFCCG but it might be too easy. Predicting our boys to square off in the NFCCG Macca

Oakland 10 @ Houston 20 Detriot 20 @ Seattle 24 Miami 13 @ Pittsburgh 27 New York 17 & Green Bay 28

My mistake... Falcons could met Green Bay in the divisonal week if Seattle loses.

Wrapt the falcons divisonal game is on the Saturday (sunday our time)... in the NFC I'm most worried about the Packers but we'd only met them at home in the NFCCG if that eventuated. Looking forward to sitting back and watching the wild card week play out!

Yeah going to be some good games this week with playoff implications.. So unless the Redskins win then GB & Detriot both make it regardless of who wins their battle ? So they'll be playing for the North title & seeding... As for the Falcons you'd think with a #2 seed on the line, final regular season game in the Dome they'd take care of buisness against the Saints but these are the situations they usually drop a game they should win. I'm never confident taking on Brees but if we can get the W, take a bye week & reload for the divisonal week... I'll be excited (not to mention I wont have to watch a wildcard playoff game in my mrs family tiny cabin on holidays with all her family crowded around & me losing my s#it)

Ravens Texans Seahawks Thanks again for running it Macca, looking forward to the post season comp!

Unbelievable... Seattle miss the XP to tie the game 31 all instead of going up by 1 with 1 minute to go. Cards go down at kick a FG as time expires, giving the Falcons the #2 seed for now.. A win at home against New Orleans & we take the #2 seed, do I dare to dream!

Stuff the Giants & the tipping!! Well I'll be up at 4:50am christmas morning for the Falcons/Panthers game... My mrs thinks I'm nuts! Probably earliest I'll be up on Christmas since I was 4!
