Going through Seattle would be tough.

Yeah, but I'm hoping Arizona pulls a stunner this weekend. If they do all Atlanta has to do is win out and get the 2 seed.

Such a shame that Atlanta is basically a missed Julio Jones pass interference call from beating Seattle and this now being even remotely an issue. Falcons would have had about a minute to move into better field goal range (they were at the 37 or so which would be a prayer for Bryant, but it's hardly unreasonable to think that Atlanta couldn't get just a few more yards.

I agree. Still a tough place to play.

FOr me the only NFC playoff matchups that scare me are Dallas and Green Bay. Green Bay has been white hot and they'll be dangerous in the playoffs. Giants kind of scare me because Atlanta has struggled vs them in the past and I fear a repeat. Atlanta has played Seattle tough, and lost a few close games and won a few close games. I'm not super scared about Seattle. It will be a tough game but it's pretty winnable.

As the playoffs shake up now, Atlanta will get Green Bay, which is my number 1 feared matchup. Hopefully Green Bay wins out and the GIants do enough to get the 5 seed so Atlanta gets Detroit in round 1, then SEattle in 2. That's the "easiest" path to the Superbowl without a bye as it makes Green Bay or Dallas beat each other.

Take it from a Lions fan... the packers aren't that good. Not saying we are... but the Packers are so overrated

Unless they lose the next 2 games, Packers will be going into the playoffs as maybe the hottest team. Kind of similar ot the Giants in 07 when they won on 11. They got on a bit of a hotsteak at the end of season.
