Preserve The Iceberg, Don't Let Matty Ice Melt: The Official 2016 Atlanta Falcons Season Thread

I'm hoping we win and Dallas loses. I'll be buying tickets ASAP on Sunday night/Monday.

I was debating a flight out to my brehs in Fort Worth ... but if it's in Atlanta

Divide and Conquer: The running backs behind the Falcons' push to the postseason
QUICKLY

• Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are very different backs—but also eerily similar—and their willingness to share the load this season has been a huge part of Atlanta's success.

Coach Dan Quinn stands before his Falcons in late December clutching a video remote in his right hand. His team has just won the NFC South by beating the Panthers and in a few days will clinch a first-round bye after toppling the Saints.

The coach hits PLAY and a 31-yard, fourth-quarter wheel route from Matt Ryan to running back Tevin Coleman against Carolina unspools on the projection screen—but Quinn fast-forwards through most of the action. What he wants his players to see is the end of the big gain, when Coleman's fellow yard-gobbler, Devonta Freeman, bounces up and down like a pogo stick on the sideline and then chases Coleman down the field as if pursuing a windblown Powerball ticket.

Freeman, it should be noted, with his two Pro Bowl nods in three seasons, is the starting tailback. He wasn't on the field for this play because of Coleman, the football equivalent of the spouse who eats off his partner's plate. In emphasizing Freeman's memeworthy exuberance, Quinn is tracing the offensive evolution of these Falcons to a selflessness that the celebration signifies. "That's the whole key," he says. "That's it, men. That's the brotherhood."

Should be a 2 TD game at home seeing how it took a late TO and bad no call in the end for Seattle to win. I know Shanny and the crew will eat after watching the second half of the previous game. As said before, stop the run and we win.

28-17 Falcons

In other good news, looks more and more like Shanny is staying for at least another year, id hold out for the Indy job if I was him.

I think we expect to win by double digits (at least I do). I'm not goin into this thinking we win by a FG. Our offense AVERAGES 35 at home. 13 different Falcons have caught a TD pass. I mean i respect Seattle and shyt but I don't see enough ways for SEA to win unless we just completely fall apart

I'm expecting to win but if we lose on some bullshyt I don't think I can recover
