wow things are going falcons way

So far so good, lot's of football to go yet, I just get the feeling that beating Seattle the way they did last week instilled a ton of confidence in the Falcons, for once THEY were the one that closed out a playoff game with great plays and a clutch kick to get the win..

By that same token, for a rookie QB to come off a game like last week (on the road), and to have to do something similar again (on the road) the very next week is asking a lot. Eventually that adrenaline ride has to crash.

Although like you said, lots of football still to go.

Edit: My mistake, 49ers were at home last week.

Damn, actual pass rush by the Falcons. Dome noise is bothering the Niners offense.

Falcons pass rush (MIA for parts of the season) has it going on today, the Kapenator looks befuddled...

Niners were at home last week. Dome is whole different environment.

True, I'm hoping that happens to the Raven's later LOL but I know better, it will be a battle..

Yeah, my fault, getting my games confused. Still, I'd say it remains that it's a lot to ask from a rookie QB. Especially, like you said, in a dome game on the road.

As already mentioned, SF was at home. But Russell Wilson almost did just that.

What a fucking catch! Incredible with a guy hanging all over him. There's just no way to defend that.
