re: 49ers at Falcons - NFC Championship game predictions

I would already take Wilson over everyone in your second list.

Depends upon the health/availability of John Abraham imo. His absence in the second half vs. the Seahawks meant falcons had zero pass rush whatsoever. Our DBs did their job but RWilson could sit back, scramble, and let his receivers run zig-zags across the field to get open. If Kaep gets time and space, he'll do the same thing.

Prediction:

Falcons-27
49ers-17

no John Abraham Prediction:

Falcons-24
49ers-34

Dude a 35 year old John Abraham is not worth 17 points against an extremely mobile qb.

After repeated maulings by the SF defensive backs, Roddy White hurts his elbow doing the throw the flag motion.

Ryan to white on the corner is a dangerous combination. Shut this down and ATL is fricked. It will e the matchup to watch (CR vs RW) Gonzalez wont get shite over the middle of the San Fran defense. That's not a knock on him, moreso an endorsement of Patrick willis

not much of a pass rush, but enough to make it look like a normal football game where one team has offensive linemen and the other has defensive linemen. enough to keep him from standing back there, counting to "ten mississippi" every time and choosing which receiver to go to.

Seahawks scored a TD every possession in the second half (i believe... to lazy to double check) and did so with ease every time. That wasn't the case in the first half because I believe they only scored zero in that half. Say whatever bullshite you want about how they were dominating us all game but for some odd reason i feel like we must have been doing something right in the first half to keep the goose egg on the scoreboard.

Russell Wilson as a rookie:

3,118 yards 64% completion 26 tds 10 ints 100 passer rating
490 yards rushing 4 tds

His best receivers are Sidney Rice and Golden Tate


Give him Julio, Roddy, and Tony Gonzalez and give Matt Ryan Doug Baldwin, Sidney Rice, Golden Tate, and Zach Miller - what do you think happens?



You can't compare Dalton to Wilson. Dalton is an above avg qb who makes a living off of AJ Green.

Tony Romo is a good qb and I think underrated here but Wilson has already proved to be better in big games.

Cam Newton is a freak of nature but Wilson is the better leader and makes way less mistakes.


If I'm building a team and I need a qb and you give me the option of

Russell Wilson
Matt Ryan
Andy Dalton
Tony Romo
Cam Newton

I'm taking Wilson, easily.

31-21 9ers.

Also I did predict a close Falcons win last week though I hate the cocksuckers.

Both of those WRs are very good. He also has a great OLine and Marshawn Lynch.

My point is there isn't any basis to say he'll be the BEST quarterback in the NFL in three years. He could lose those guys and look like a different QB by then.

Very good? I think you're being a bit hyperbolic here. I like Golden Tate and I think he's on his way to being a solid NFL receiver for a while but he's 5'10 and in 3 years barely has 100 catches.

Sidney Rice had one year where he exploded for 1,300 yards and 8 tds. Since then in 3 seasons, he has a combined 1,500 yards and 11 tds. A lot of that has to do with injury but he's played a full 16 games this year and had 50 catches for 750 yards.


Yeah Lynch is a weapon and he does benefit from that but Lynch also benefits from the zone read and the threat of Wilson running.
