Atlanta Falcons-Seattle Seahawks Divisional Game Open Thread

The Atlanta Falcons take on the Seattle Seahawks at home.

Otto Greule Jr

The entire season has built up to this moment. The Falcons are the #1 seed in the playoffs, with a home game against the Seattle Seahawks. It is time.

I think we've all had enough of the lack of respect this team has garnered this year, the constant talk of the Falcons being playoff chokers and questions about Mike Smith/Matt Ryan/etc. It's time for the Falcons to rise up, as the slogan goes, and beat the Seahawks. The respect will be nice if they do, but what's much more important is advancing in the playoffs with a chance to play the 49ers and whoever comes out of the AFC. The road to a championship can run through Atlanta.

I can talk us in circles, but what's about to happen on the field matters most. Join me here for a live discussion of the game, and be sure to (respectfully) check out Field Gulls.

GO FALCONS!
