Wilson has already won more playoff games than Matt Ryan.

a "barely" win is...guess what?

Just excited to watch some AWESOME match ups. ATL in the playoffs is nothing to be overly worried about. This is the NFL though, so they're not to be taken lightly by all means! They don't seem to be nearly as physical as Seattle, which IMO will be their downfall. Because, lets face it...Seattle is a solid combination of Physical/Finesse.
We barely won both those games AT HOME. Just saying.

Vegas is really good at putting up odds, and it's damming to the Falcons they would only give them a point at home. But that first quarter in DC was a wake up call for me. The Hawks showed a ton of heart finishing out that meat grinder of a game.

I agree with your first sentence here.
I could not disagree more with your 2nd sentence. This is a game we need to win, whether it's by 1 point off of a last second FG or it's by 30.
As long as the Seahawks walk out of Atlanta with a win and a team as healthy as we went in there with, that's the ONLY thing that matters. Let other people worry about what messages get sent, what the pundits say, or what Vegas does. The win is the only thing.

Agree. Though I will say that given the Falcons' ability to strike quickly with Jones, a 2 score lead would not go amiss. It's in Seattle's best interest to score early and often so they can control the tempo the rest of the game.
