id much rather have the pressure of a 2nd round playoff game going on the shoulders of your rookie QB...im not dissing the guy in anyway, but if the Falcons make the Hawks throw, im definatly 100000% more confident in our chances
You shouldn't be more confident. Statistically speaking, Russell Wilson was better than Matty "Slush" this year. Better QBR, better Passer Rating, better TD/Int ratio, better yards per attempt, better TD%, etc. Matt Ryan threw for 4600 yards (3100 for Wilson), and 6 (32 vs 26) more TD's, but he also had 200+ more passing attempts, against weaker competition.
Why do you think the media is actually recognizing a Seattle QB? It takes ALOT to get noticed out here in Seattle, so it says ALOT when it actually happens. Russell Wilson will freeze your LB's with the Read/Option, then will torch the thin secondary on play action. It's an amazingly simple, but extremely effective offense type, and it's held the Seahawks competitive in EVERY SINGLE GAME this year, including their losses. Put it this way, the Falcons lost by more points to the Carolina Panthers (10), than the Seahawks have lost in any game this year (Worst was by 7 points, in San Francisco). They are a team that will be competitive against ANY team in the NFL, regardless if it's at home or on the road.
