In the 2011 regular season, we lost to the Falcons 30-28.

In the 2012 post-season, we lost to the Falcons 30-28.

WTF is up with us losing to the Falcons 30-28???

Ok, that's all I got. We play them next season...it better not be a 30-28 loss.

Just doing some historical research on the team and it hit me.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Very similar situations too, if I remember correctly. It's CRRRAP!!

It'll be a 60-14 Seahawks win next year. See what I did there?

We lost to them 34-18 in 2010, so hopefully this will not be a symmetrical thing occurring.

I like how you think. You have lifted my mood.

If Pete had actually tried for the 68 yard field goal at the end, you probably would have realized it much sooner.

Speaking of which....wasn't it against Atlanta in 2011 that Hauschka attempted the 61-yarder? I'm pretty sure it was.

Hauschka could have hit it.

Maybe, but Ryan Longwell is another story i think.

Are you saying Longwell can't kick well from long?

Nice.

didn't Hauschka miss everything in the pre-season from 50 out... did he even attempt a 50+ fieldgoal in the regular season? can't remember , but it doesn't seem like it.

During that 2011 loss... I remember Atlanta coach Mike Smith looking all smug throughout the game- as if it was in hand the entire way. He didn't seem that way in the playoff game- was more just cheering and excited, but I still loved seeing him sweating bullets after the Hawks took the late lead. No disrespect to him, the Falcons or the fans. I know they are not among our enemies.

Again, no disrespect to the Falcons... but, I still have a hard time coming to grips that we lost to the Falcons. I know that they are talented and it's not easy to get that #1 seed. Their receivers are top notch. But, head to head... the Hawks really should have taken that game. The Falcons had everything go right for them in that first half and the Hawks had way too many missed opportunities. The Falcons were part of that... but, still.

I think the game next season is in Atlanta. That will be a good test to see if the Hawks have done whatever they can to not be in a 10amPST funk. But, the Falcons may not have Tony Gonzalez either.
