However I maintain that in real time there is not a ref in the league that would have called that on Julio or any other wide receiver. Sherman went to jam Julio at the line, Julio attempted to fight off the jam with a swim move and made accidental contact with Sherman's helmet. Watching the play in real time it happened so fast that it's easy to see how a ref could miss that call...The DPI there's no way the ref could have missed that call.

Expect to hear more of this leading up to and throughout the game.
According to the Seahawks website stats, RW has completed passes to 18 different players. Kind of a great example of blind and bias reporters talking one sided through their a$$, as usual.
The actual stat is Matt Ryan completed TOUCHDOWN passes to 13 different receivers in one season a feat never before accomplished in NFL history.

There is a reason most people are picking the falcons over the hawks. This scenario isn't the same as a couple years ago when the hawks dismantled the donkies in the SB. If you don't know the difference you should slow your roll and listen more than talk. This years hawks have been radically inconsistent in every facet of play. Name one thing you can count on this year with the hawks that is positive and can be counted on game in any game. There are none.
I want the hawks to win, I think they will make this a close game and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they win, but I'm not expecting it this year. I don't hear any media types saying the falcons are the greatest team ever, just some but hurt overly sensitive hawk fans over exaggerating how the media is covering our team, for some reason these posters FEEL that this is what is being portrayed by said media. To these posters, you should have been around when what your feeling was actually happening. It isn't happening now, your just spoiled by the past 5 years of Seahawks success.
And even those picking Atlanta aren't saying Seahawks don't have a chance. With how good the Falcons offense is and the Seahawks inconsistency to close out the regular season, combined with Falcons being rested and having home field advantage, it's not surprising that the Falcons are favored. But saying the Falcons have a better chance to win doesn't mean anyone's counting the Seahawks out. The point spread is still under a touchdown (with the Seahawks being the away team).Steve2222":19enfxrz said:Ben Watson and Heath Evans of NFL Total Access tonight took Seattle. I'm seeing quite a few people take Seattle. Don't know where everyone is seeing the disrespect. It's a good match up. There will be quite a few people taking Atlanta as well.

MOSES":1tgd1dhk said:Meh.
Eight home games for the Falcons. Only ONE team they played had a defense ranked above #16 (Arizona).
They are giving up 30 points a game on defense.
