A running attack wears down a defense. They wore down Green Bay. Everyone talks about Kaepernik... but Frank Gore is deadly. This game will for sure go under. Harbaugh will play smart... conservative... and Matt Ryan is the biggest fraud around. Guy blows under pressure. Can't wait for SF to sack him several times.

Kaepernick is the real fraud. He is a 1-read QB that is about to be exposed this week. Last weeks running output was not normal and the previous 3x games he ran for 28, 31 and 5 yards for an average of 3.71 ypc. Wilson actually goes through his progressions like a veteran QB and poses more of a threat as Kaepernick. He will throw 2x picks on Sunday and look for a strip from Sean Weatherspoon as Kap likes to hold that football like Vick. He already has 9x fumbles this year...lucky he only lost 2. Ryan blows under pressure is a ridiculous accusation.Comment -
Kap is a tremendous talent and has a bright future in the NFL, but this year is Matt Ryan's year.
Save those Kap highlights from last week, Kap won't be doing that in ATL.Comment -
Don't get me wrong kaep is a great QB. But his accuracy is a HUGE question mark. He sometimes make the throws that seem impossible and other times he blows the easiest throws. In terms of QBs him vs. Wilson, I'd take Wilson all day. He may be smaller but kaep can't touch Wilson. Those passes that Wilson made in those open spaces last week were on point, I can almost guarantee that kaep will miss some basic passes that seem way too easy and he can't make those mistakes with ball hawks Samuel and decoud. Just my Imo. He is also not as shifty. The only reason falcons didn't get sacks last week in the backfield was RWs shiftyness. Kaep is NOT shifty he is fast but nowhere near as shifty as RW. And he is a bigger target to than RW is so that should be easier to bring him down and more to grab onto just my opinionComment -
Atl mlComment -
This thread is funny af ! Lmao some dumb mofos ..Comment -
I hope this wasn't serious. No place is like Seattle. Atl played nobody all season home or away. Falcons couldn't devise a plan for Cam Newton either game. How ATL wins the TO battle is well beyond my knowledge, would love to hear any logic behind that. SF running game is the most dynamic in the league, maybe WSH could be better. James/Gore/Kap .. better than anything Atl has to offer in those 3 right there. Atl D will be invisible and their O might score 17. I am not impressed by anything ATL brings to the table.
Bama/Nd repeat IMOComment -
don't forget minnesota. and got blown out at home by giants and on the road by seattle. last i checked atl wasnt blown out this year
what other team can say that?
all i can see are pats.Comment -
Atlanta beat Seattle last year in Seattle and they beat the 49ers in San Francisco a couple years ago. Atlanta has no weaknesses when playing home or on the road. In a dome they are almost unbeatable. You have to realize that the speed of the Falcons receivers is magnified in the dome and 49ers haven't beat a team in a dome for quite some time. The 49ers corners are very slow.Comment -
Nice logic. The Falcons have won 56 games since the beginning of '08 (56-24)....since Ryan got there. So they've come from behind in 22 of those 56 wins, 39% of the wins. In the NFL with its parity, holding the lead for the duration of over 60% of your wins is quite impressive.Comment -
Paco, did the Giants lose to the lowly Redskins twice last season? Lmao
49ers take this game.
Gonzalez had his cry fest the same way Davis had his cry fest last season.
The writing's on the wall.Comment -
17 points Father?? Your team is giving up an average of 30 pts a game last 4...why will this be different. See below:
To get a true sense of just how strong the Falcons' passing offense is, consider that last week Ryan posted an incredibly high 85.4 Total QBR mark against a secondary that has a Pro Bowl free safety (Earl Thomas), a rare shutdown cornerback who has terrific ball hawking skills (eight interceptions) and should have made the Pro Bowl (Richard Sherman), a very good cornerback who has nine picks over the past two seasons (Brandon Browner) and one of the most feared hitters in the NFL (Kam Chancellor). If the Falcons could post great numbers against this group, there isn't a secondary in the NFL that Atlanta should fear. The 49ers' pass defense may not be as good as is generally thought. San Francisco finished second in the league in passing yards per attempt (6.1) and placed six defensive players on the 2013 Pro Bowl squad, and yet this group ended up finishing 15th in Total QBR allowed to opposing teams. That number indicates this platoon does not fare as well in the area of situational football as their overall numbers indicate.Comment -
You're right....niners -3 is a joke....should be niners -10Comment -

The Falcons won't line up in man all game like the Packers. Falcons did do a decent job most of the game with the read option. You can scrap whatever happened in the past cause it won't matter. Don't think that cross country road trip won't matter either. At least the game Is at 3 and not 1.Comment -
Seattle had NO QB last year. Does anyone not realize who Atl played all year. The NFC south. There is not a great team in that division including ATL.
The Rams D is better than any D in that division, and the only games SF struggled were against stout D's with good coaches. Atl has neither. Also ATL can't stop a running QB. Wilson doesn't run that much he scrambles and looks to throw. Kap will scoot it if he sees the chance. The athletes on the 9ers can and will purely dominate this game. They also have a way better coach.
I'm thinking 37-17 area of a ball gameComment -
Holy Shit Bro the NFC West has been bottom feeding for years. They sent a 7-9 Seahawk team to the playoffs 2 years ago for gods sake. The NFC South has been the most dominating division over the past 5 years. Just because the Rams D shut down the Niners doesnt make them good. Remember the Superbowl Champs from last year? We shut them out in the GA Dome 34-0...first shutout of a Giant team since 1996. The Giants were rolling until that game and Falcons took their soul. Im sure Nolan has something nice planned for the team that fired him. Welcome to back to back NFC Championship chokes.Comment -

One thing nobody is talking about, RW > Kap. Kap had a nice week against pathetic GB, but RW is a better QB overall.Comment -
This is huge in my opinion. Everyone is capping the game based on his performance vs Packers. He also threw a pick for a TD in that game. Has he ever lead a team from behind on the road like RW did vs the Skins? When he gets up like the Patriots and Packers games he does good. I want to see what he does if things don't go his way in first half and he has to use the passing game to come back. Atlanta doesn't turn the ball over early and they will work hard to build a lead at home.Comment -
Noone is talking about RW b.c his season is over, he is a better QB then Matt Ryan in my opinion.. he has to be top 7, once he settled into the NFL.. he is going to be a beast.
Huge IF.. an ATL turned it over early last week if I don't recall?? But RW to Kap perspective: RW isn't a running QB like Kap is, he runs when noone is open otherwise he is scrambling to find someone open.. ATL will prob play mostly zone b.c of Kap running ability/how he looks to run and Harbaugh is a very good coach/knows this..
SUPER dynamic run game.. this ATL D will be picked apart big time.Comment -
Mike Smith and Matt Ryan have called a press conference for 4:00 eastern. They are expecting to announce that the Falcons not bother showing up Sunday afternoon and forfeit because the degens at SBR, Covers and other sites say the 49ers will win by 4 touchdowns. Based on that logic, common sense would actually recommend the Falcons doing just the opposite though.Comment -
Nothing against the 49ers but the Falcons have the intangibles in this game. Davis, Moss and Crabtree are one play away from quitting on their team.Comment -
LOL
right -there just a bunch of quitters-
it's the 23rd ranked passing game(SF) vs 23rd ranked passing D (ATL)-even
the 4th ranked rushing (SF) vs 21st ranked rushing D (ATL)-adv SF
Conversely-you have the 6th ranked passing attack (ATL) vs the 4th ranked passing D (SF)-adv SF
the 29th ranked rushing attack (ATL) vs the 4th ranked rushing D (SF)-adv SF
Atl has played 3 games vs playoff calibre teams(were very fortunate to escape with a win over Sea)
SF has played 6 games vs playoff calibre teams ADV SF
Atlanta fans are about to find out what it feels like to see your team dominated.
