Go Hawks!

[RayGator]

I was wondering if you would stop by. :wave:

[RayGator]

So far we've had 2 exciting playoff games. I think this should be one too.

[RayGator]

Kickoff should be in a few minutes.

[RayGator]

Falcons won the toss and elected to receive.

1st Qtr 9:40

Seahawks 0

Falcons 3

Looks like there's not too much interest in this game.

[RayGator]

1st Qtr 3:40

Seahawks 0

Falcons 10

[Speedofsand]

These teams are GOOD. I'll go for Atlanta because I'll be against Pete Cheat Carroll and for the coach from Daytona.

[ufgator4ever]

Not sure how koepernick would do on road, in dome vs atlanta. Seattle beat them down last time, but kind of prefer a revenge matchup with them in SF.

[RayGator]

2nd Qtr 13:30

Seahawks 0

Falcons 13

[MtownGator]

20-0 Looking good so far Falcons.

[Dreamliner]

I find this shocking. I haven't seen the Falcons bludgeon ANYBODY. But they're beating senseless what may be the best defense in the league.

[Nicho]

I'm more impressed that they just blanked the offense that had a historic offensive run to end the regular season.

[benheb]

Good Lord... Laura Okmin speaking from sideline - scary makeup job... HD can be unkind

[Speedofsand]

27-21 , 9:13 left 4th qtr.


almost Tebow time for somebody

[BobK89]

Stupid decision for the Falcons to play John Abraham the whole game. He's not able to go today and that may cost them.

Seahawks 21

Falcons 27

At one time Atlanta led 20-0

[UFFL]

That Seattle defense is like 50% dreadlocks. They must be enjoying those new pot laws up in Washington

[gatorbogey]

just showed a chop block penalty on seattle. which, imo, is the wrong administration. to be the chop block is when the DL is engaged w/ an OLineman and a different OL comes down on the side of the legs/knees.

if you go low w/ a block in front of the DL, i see that as good form and shouldn't cause an injury since it's coming from the front.

they need to review that interpretation, imo.

[Speedofsand]

TD Seattle, 27-27 pat pending :31, and its good. 28-27 road team

[Veritas]

Wow!!! What a game. Carrol vs Harbaugh to see who goes to the superbowl. Great weekend of playoff football

[ColoGator]

I think this may be Mike Smit's last year... Atlanta has been underperforming in the post season for multiple years

[jcp]

Wow, I was kind of rooting for ATL but they just can't get it together.

[Minister_of_Information]

My only regret is that both teams cannot lose.

[ApexNC]

Russel Wilson is a special talent

[Speedofsand]

Matty ICE

[jcp]

Wow, they still have a chance now.

[jcp]

And the FG is......


GOOD!!!


And they don't learn about "icing" the kicker. Idiots!!!

[Speedofsand]

These teams are GOOD.

[jcp]

Wow, what a freaking game.


8 seconds left.

[ApexNC]

Nice call there, Pete

[MtownGator]

Omg ---- hotlanta

[co_gator89]

When oh when will coaches stop believing in this mythology of "icing the kicker"?

[Veritas]

Wow. Spoke too soon. Still a great game

[TyWilliamsGator]

What a game!!!

[jcp]

Clear as day Pete calls the TO, and then acts like an idiot asking who called the TO.

[jcp]

That was an awful kick. Now Seattle has a shot, wow, hahahaha.

[co_gator89]

And that is why squib kicks are stupid.

[jcp]

Intercepted the hail mary. Game over.

Atl wins 30-28.

[MtownGator]

LOVE it -- Jones catches on O and D.

[Speedofsand]

oh that last kickoff...whew!

[flwgator2]

YESSS!

Can't stand Carroll.

[swampspring]

Wow, just wow. Both teams were incredible. Seattle is a very young team, they are going to be contenders for years to come.

[gatorbogey]

pretty exciting finish. kudos to seattle for their comeback. kudos to the falcons for winning it in the end.

[MtownGator]

Hell of a game from Seattle. I've gotta give them a lot of credit.

[Veritas]

I think it was fitting that Tony Gonzalez caught the pass to put them in fg range for his first career playoff win

[350Z33]

NFL playoffs > College bowl season.

This is a FACT.

Great game by ATL. I think the 9ers have a better shot at the SB going through them than another game against Seattle.

[raycgator]

Not a bad arm on Russell Wilson

[gatordee]

Great game! Pete Carroll has the Seahawks looking very good.

[dohcvtecpower]

Falcons! Rise Up!

[co_gator89]

I'm pulling for Atlanta the rest of the way because of Tony Gonzalez and so I can continue to be insufferable on the Dolphin boards about how Jake Long was suuuuuuch a better pick than Matt Ryan.

[Speedofsand]

Gonzales with a great interview on Fox tv just now. Everyone except Seattle is happy for him. Going inside the locker room next.

[Dreamliner]

Falcons = s-h-a-k-y.

[Minister_of_Information]

Falcons = s-h-a-k-y.

You have to think the Niners will be favored.

[cocodrilo]

Clear as day Pete calls the TO, and then acts like an idiot asking who called the TO.

Did any of the experts (Bradshaw et al) say anything about it after the game? They should have ridiculed him for ten minutes. How often is Bradshaw given material like that?

[CockyInSeattle]

Well, now I've seen to playoff games that may have been lost by coaching decisions. In the Ravens/Broncos, there were two. The decision not to pass to get a first down that would have ended the game, allowing the Ravens another possession, and then the decision to take a knee with 30 seconds left in regulation.

Then Pete calling the TO. His first kick missed.

[cedarkey_gator1]

Pete's got a long trip back to Seattle after that call.

[Dreamliner]

Hey Pete, what's the deal on your defense, man ? What's your deal ?

[og8trz]

Pete Carroll remains a liar. Did anyone notice him try to act like he didn't call TO after Bryant missed the first FG?

[warhorsegator]

Pete Carroll remains a liar. Did anyone notice him try to act like he didn't call TO after Bryant missed the first FG?

And he got a pass from announcers on his attempt to shift blame to some unknown on the sideline.

[cocodrilo]

And he got a pass from announcers on his attempt to shift blame to some unknown on the sideline.

One of the announcers said that Carroll may have whispered to the ref, "I'm not going to call a time out."

[Swampmaster]

icing the kicker--rarely works and gives the kicker a practice kick. nice work pete

[Swampmaster]

You have to think the Niners will be favored.

early line---49ers by 3

[rivergator]

Just saw a postgame interview with Russell Wilson. Damn, he's a likable guy ...

[MtownGator]

I'm not happy with winning by a FG with what we had going.

Worst of all -- how in the hell does ATL stop Kaepernick?:zombie:

Maybe the same way the Seahawks did ? Remember that the Packers may have the worst defense in the league.

Actually, GB was ranked 11th out of 32 teams.

[MtownGator]

I guess ATL takes a few pages out of the UF playbook on how we kept Manziel in check.
I hope my Falcons can get it done and not let up in the second half like they did today.

[NitroSmoke]

As I posted in the "Is PC a douche" thread, I think he was pissed that the refs gave Bryant a practice kick. I thought the whistle blew well ahead of the kick. I think PC may have been arguing for a delay of game penalty or something.

[Dreamliner]

Actually, GB was ranked 11th out of 32 teams.

Remember our '8th-best defense in the country' last year ? Every time I saw Green Bay play they got savaged.

[CHFG8R]

Just saw a postgame interview with Russell Wilson. Damn, he's a likable guy ...

I don't really care for either team, but I find it impossible to root against this kid. Love watching him play and he's just a total class act. I think somewhere Doug Flutie is smiling (or cursing the gods that nobody ever ran a system like this with him).
