My wife and kids kept asking who I wanted to win in this game. All i could say was if the Hawks win tomorrow I want the 49ers to win, if the Hawks lose then I want to see GB crush the 49ers. If the Hawks win tomorrow SF will smoked next weekend....

I also think the Niners laid a huge stinker in Seattle... I don't believe for one second, no matter how good Seattle may be, that they come into SF and play like they did in the second meeting this season.
Well I think we're all expecting Atlanta to lay an egg again, but that isn't a given. They could very well come out and play their best game and win. Nolan is an incredible DC, and his defenses usually translate very well on the field.Scottemojo":1j8dv6ft said:49er fans who love the team more than the game want the falcons. I know, weird? They would rather face the the Falcons on the road than get another playoff game at home. They are afraid.
49er fans who love THE GAME want the Seahawks. A pure and violent solution to the question. To be the best you have to beat the best, which should be the approach of both teams.
But first, Atlanta.

I'm definitely rooting for Atlanta. Seattle is exactly the kind of team that gives the 49ers problems (physical, run oriented, scrambling QB, etc).
I'm in this catagory too. I don't believe our team had a snowball's chance in Lambeau of getting a fairly officiated game in GB and I've said as much for the last several weeks here and to friends and family. Our Hawks can beat SF again and we are quite likely to get better balance in the refereeing.BlueThunder":1c2kizp7 said:Aros":1c2kizp7 said:A lot of us polled said we wanted the 49ers...Much easier than traveling to that icicle in Wisconsin, not to mention having to endure the LIVING HELL that would be the week leading up to the game by the media...You know, as in two words:
"Fail Mary".
I wouldn't have made it past the first hour of the first day.
I know, huh? That was my #1 concern about the Packers winning. "The Packers are playing for revenge for the Fail Mary play" ALL FRIGGIN' WEEK LONG!!! GROAN! Not to mention how unusually rabid the Lambeau field faithful would have been because of it. And also not to mention our damn playoff history in that god forsaken place! THANK YOU 49ers!!!.....
