Cowboys are going to be at a huge disadvantage playing what will likely be the hottest NFL team. Meanwhile, we Falcons get the easier game.
very good, haha yes |

Are you kidding me? At home. We're [the fans] so ready to kick the crap out of them. Earl Thomas OUT Meanwhile, we've got about 10-12 weapons on offense and [they've] only one really good DB. Off a Bye. Since last Bye: 5-1 Seahawks are one dimensional. Rawls. Baldwin. Graham. Wilson. That's the entire offense. You shutdown Graham and Baldwin, you shut down the passing game.
very good, haha yes |

A lot of that is 4th quarter garbage time (NO, CAR x 2) Plus, we're 1st in PF, 3rd in Pass yds, and 5th in rush yards Sometimes, a good secondary doesn't mean a good defense. Anyway you look at it, Seattle was our first pick to face.

But it does cut down on what the D has to do If they hold teams for at least one poss. They're the best D around.

"At home."
where the defense is statistically much worse and the offense is only marginally better
"We're [the fans] so ready to kick the crap out of them."
this doesn't help your argument at all
"Earl Thomas OUT"
aren't the Falcons missing their best secondary player too?
"Meanwhile, we've got about 10-12 weapons on offense"
if you're gonna count every single one of your receivers then, yeah, i guess you're right
"and [they've] only one really good DB."
i forgot that Chancellor isn't a good DB
"Off a Bye. Since last Bye: 5-1"
yeah, you played one good team and you lost
"Seahawks are one dimensional."
errr... did Russell Wilson retire? did his arm fall off? did Rawls get hurt again?
"Rawls. Baldwin. Graham. Wilson. That's the entire offense. You shutdown Graham and Baldwin, you shut down the passing game."
woah, but they have like 10-12 weapons dude!
"Trufan + Collins + Jones I think we can shut them down a bit."
hard to do without Trufant, and when playing good offenses, the defense was garbage. you can't just say you can "shut them down" when your defense is statistically one of the worst in the league
"we're playing with tons of rookies out there."
this, if anything, goes against your argument lmao
"we're 4th in T/O margin"
what does T/O margin have to do with defense. the Falcons' defense is average at taking the ball away.
"A lot of that is 4th quarter garbage time (NO, CAR x 2)"
how is attempting a 4th quarter comeback "garbage time"? and so you're suggesting that none of the other defenses had 4th quarter "garbage time" against them either? lol
"Plus, we're 1st in PF, 3rd in Pass yds, and 5th in rush yards"
i'd still take a good defense over a good offense
"Sometimes, a good secondary doesn't mean a good defense."
being 17th in rushing defense and 16th in sacks doesn't mean a good defense either
"But it does cut down on what the D has to do If they hold teams for at least one poss. They're the best D around."
if they hold teams for at least one possession then they're not complete idiots. you're acting like the Seattle defense can't and won't get stops. they will, and although you don't think the Seattle offense is good, Russell Wilson is a dangerous QB who's had success in the playoffs before.
i don't know on God's green earth why you would want to play a good offense/good defense over a good offense/bad defense and bad offense/good defense but whatever. |

| not sure #1 seeds would actually want to. you would really tick a team off by picking them. the lower seed would have a mindset advantage |
