49ers -3 in Atlanta is a joke

[NOboy]

Rams and Giants are better than oakland...ATL barely beat Oakland...SF is the play newb

is it a ?!?

lol. give me the points with the veteran at home over the starter with 11 games under his belt on the road. feel more confident with my money with matt ryan

[pavyracer]

Pavy, you're comparing the 49ers to three teams that didn't make the playoffs and two teams that were one-and-done. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I was arguing with Serbone on how he came up to the conclusion Atlanta's DB's are not good. I pointed out to him they faced the best WR's in the league and are battle tested. If Falcons lose tomorrow is not going to be because Crabtree and Moss destroyed the Falcons DB's.

[Killer_Demo]

is it a ?!?

im not you, i dont post "locks" fck-boy

[NOboy]

where did i post ANYTHING was a lock?

[pavyracer]

Have no idea what is the point of saying barely beat a certain team. Do you think the Bears, Giants or the Cowboys wouldn't wish they barely beat another team and make the playoffs?

[Father]

The Falcons barely beat 7 teams...

[Serbone]

How did the Falcons keep the Broncos, Giants, Saints, Cowboys, Redskins offense of the field? Check the time of possession of Falcons in home games. It's like 65% or better.

Well they got Denver before Manning was in sync.. Giants turned out to be ca-ca, Saints beat them once, Skins got into playoffs by default, Boys were decimated by injuries.

I agree Falcons "O" can be the difference, especially if they can get their running game going, Rogers is a great change of pace speed back... and if the refs call the game close (call PI), the Falcons WR's might have their way a lot with 49ers.

But I still like 49ers based on a lot of other things.

Hey, they WANT you to take Atlanta + 4, 4 1/2 home dog... # 1 seed, with a great home field record. It tells you that 49ers have physical matchup advantges galore here. And again, I did not say Falcon's DB's were bad, I just said that 49ers were a bit better.

Again, we shall see...

Another reason why Niners don't win.....they haven't won 3 games in a row all season

They had a 5 game span where they didn't LOSE one game. Weeks 7-12: 4-0-1

[slacker00]

Harbaugh is 2-1 in playoff games. One of those being what is considered 1 of the greatest game of all time against NO. Mike Smith's playoff record? 1-3. All home games I believe.

Harbaugh has never had a road playoff game. He beat a couple squads on the downswing and with no defense.

Mike Smith is 1-1 at home, 0-2 on the road. This year's team is different, better weapons and a much better Matt Ryan.

No shit penetrating dumbass. They also haven't won 3 games in a row. Like I said.

He hasn't had a playoff win because he hasn't had to play on the road in the playoffs. This years ATL team has fizzled. Finishing 2-2 against:
Panthers 7-9 Loss
Giants 9-7 Win
Lions 4-12 Win
Buccs 7-9 Loss

And barely squeaked out a win against Seattle AT HOME.

No shit penetrating dumbass. They also haven't won 3 games in a row. Like I said.

Way to repeat yourself. Wtf is a penetrating dumbass, btw? Oh and they had a 6 week span where they didnt lose a game. Oh wait, I already said that.

That was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh, KLB.

Well smartass, you would know if you type f-u-c-k1ng there is a filter that replaces the word with "penetrating". So once again you're statement "They didn't LOSE a game in 6 games" still doesn't trump my statement. What don't you understand about that kid?

[bh9889]

What a bunch of delusional taters on this forum.

[slacker00]

ATL just beat the hottest team in the NFL. SF tried a few weeks ago and got destroyed.

[Serbone]

Shit.

When Pavy is on me like this he usually wins.

Oh, yeah? Well you say Falcon WR's are so good... well SF just POUNDED The Packers, had a better QB, as good but MORE, deeper WR's than The Falcons!

323 ryd's against Pack, had help Peterson to 99 the week before.

Blowout. GB got 7 on a pick 6 and another late 7 with :57 to go on a horrible ref call.

GB's defense is what lost that game. If a team gives up 45 in the playoffs, they better expect to lose.

[DirtyBird1500]

If anybody is seriously basing their wager in this game on what happened in Week 6 vs Oakland then they are insane. SF may win and cover, but it will not be because ATL won a close game in Week 6.

[bh9889]

Falcons takin' to the house son!

Pull it in pull it out bitches dirty bird

No shit. Way to add anything new to the discussion. Multiple posts in a row...

That was in Seattle, where Seattle went 8-0. Never heard of the 12th Man??? As others have said, Seattle mismanaged the end of that game. If Harbaugh was couching SEA, ATL would have got stomped out.

[Mills]

The key to this game to me is in the running game not the passing game. The 49'er's running game both "D" and "O" is seriously lopsided when compared to the Falcons. The 49'er's can set-up the pass with the Gore attack,but I don't see Atlanta being able to do the same.

49'ers "O" 5.1 YPC running
Atlanta "O" 3.7 YPC running

49'er's "D" 3.7 YPC against the run
Atlanta "D" 4.8 YPC against the run


I see the ability to run and stopping the run being huge in this contest .
Those differences in YPC O/D should make all the differences in the world.

[pavyracer]

Atlanta is virtually unbeatable at home. We have a 12th and a 13th man. If 49ers can't win in Seattle they won't win in Atlanta. The toughest place to get a W since Matt Ryan arrived is Atlanta. 6 losses in 6 years.

The 12th man on the field is ok if your the home team ,but the 13th would be too many men on the field . It's a dead-ball foul and a five-yard penalty.

Last week, yes, you COULD say that.
Or looking at it differently:
-Green Bays regular season YPG ranking was 11th in NFL, Atlanta's was 24th. (ppg # 11, Atlanta # 5)
-Green Bays strength of schedule was # 7, Atlanta's was 22nd.
-It could be, SF's offense is peaking, best OL in the NFL, one of the best RB's in NFL, decent WR's (Crabtree/Walker/Davis TE), and a multi faceted QB who is getting a feel for the NFL. Could be.

[slacker00]

GB gave up 45 points @SF. Do you seriously think ATL is going to give up 45 at home?

You've cherry picked some stats and consider Denanie Walker as a "decent WR". Keep living in your dream world.

Probably the smartest thing I have read the last few pages. It's hard to compare the SF offense (since Kaep took over) to the last 3 or 4 weeks. Harbaugh has been opening the offense up more and more each week. It actually started at the beginning of the season when Kaep would rotate in with Smith. SF probably would have a top 5 total offense if Kaep had started at the beginning of the season.

38-17 SF. Do you really think ATL can stop SF when they have Kaep, Gore, Moss, Crabtree, Davis, and Walker on the field at the same time? How exactly? No pass pressure. Kaep will be able to do whatever he likes with the ball. Find that one guy across the middle that'll always be open, or pull it down and run for 40. Here's a stat for you:

Defensive Pro Bowler Starters:
ATL - 0
SF - 6

SF also has 2 Pro Bowl O-linemen. With J Smith near 100%, Ryan will be pulling synthetic turf out of his facemask all day.

[slacker00]

Pro Bowl? Last year Giants had 2 pro bowlers, went into SF (who had 9 pro bowlers) and beat them.

That was last year. And that was a different game. As I recall that Giants team also beat ATL 24-2. That game wasn't anything like the SF/NYG Conference Champ game. How about we look at the 2 teams on the field tomorrow. And not 6 years ago. Or even last year.

Yes, this year the game will be in ATL, not SF. Kap struggled in his dome games, it won't be like at home.
