I think any excitement gained over white burning sherman was lost when it was apparent seattle should have won that game since the falcons couldn't even beat the 49ers at home after a huge lead. We can take a look at that picture all day long but I think we all know seattle had a way better shot of beating SF than atlanta did. Every fan in atlanta knows it as well.
With all respect to your point, I totally disagree. The fans of Atlanta know one thing...they beat the Seahawks. Whether they lost to SF or not, or whether we beat SF or not, has no bearing on that fact. Coulda', shoulda', woulda' don't win titles and as a diehard Hawk fan, I felt nothing resembling victory at the conclusion of that game. We lost and Atlanta deserves credit for the way they came back to beat us. This isn't our Seahawks of old. This is a championship calibre team and we must no longer make excuses in defeat or accept moral victories, IMO.
