But after thinking about it, I think it's best for our team to show not only ourselves but the whole World why we're the best team in the NFC. Only way to do that is to beat the #1 seed at their place. If we can play just like we did last night on both sides of the ball, we WILL beat those Dirty Birds and advance to the SB. Falcons are tough and offensively are 1 of the best in the game, but since we've beaten the likes of Brees, Brady, and Rodgers, I think we can do the same exact thing against Matt Ryan. No question about it.
Go 9ers baby!!!!!!
Actually, the Atlanta offense is 8th overall in the league. They are 6th in passing offense and 29th in rushing offense. The Niners have already beaten two teams rated higher in passing, the Patriots and the Saints, and both of them were at their fields. The Niners defense should be able to completely concentrate on the Falcons passing game while shutting down their running game. On defense, Atlanta is rated 24th in the league, 21st against the rush and 24th against the pass, so the Niner offense should be able to do what it wants against that defense. I don't want to be overconfident, because this is the NFL, but the Niners really should be able to advance to the Superbowl this year.
