Delighted for the Seahawks .
Losing Chris Clemons for next week (maybe more) is a bit of a blow. Think if they turn over the Falcons that will be as far as they go though (but would be very happy if i am wrong).

Hou @ NE - close early but Brady to pull away in the 2nd half. Pats by around 10.
Bal @ Den - I expect Denver to be able to keep them at arms length all game (10 or so clear) on the back of some good defence.
GB @ 49ers - We played terrible in the first game and lost by 8 I think. We finally have all our recievers back and our defensive guys too and now have something that resembles a run game. One concern is protecting Rodgers. Give Barclay and Newhouse help and Rodgers can beat the LB's & DB's. I think we can hold up ok against Kap. Packers by 7.
Sea @ Atl - Seattle by 10. Seattle D should have success against Ryan. I can't see Atlanta successfully stopping Lynch which sets up PA and Wilson to use his athleticism.
Agree with all but the final one. Fancy the Falcons to finally put together a decent playoff performance, so my picks are:

I wouldn't be surprised to see Seattle given a heavy dose of Michael Turner next week, given how poorly they coped with Morris early on in particular yesterday.
Which - if successful - then sets up the play action for the likes of White and Jones to get some single coverage down the field.
Defensively, we have been poor against the run at times so the threat of Lynch does worry me. Seattle's receivers however, don't. Would be quite happy to see us play 8 in the box and make Wilson try to throw the ball, let Abraham and Biermann push him up into the pocket where his lack of size will hurt him.

Sidney Rice and Golden Tate ( great name ) are the only WRs I can think of for the Seahawks. It'll be Lynch that gets most work but then watch out for Russell Wilson on the run. It'd be nice to see Atlanta do something in the playoffs.

I wouldn't underestimate Wilson. His mobility is excellent and he definitely has the power in his arm to deliver. Against the 49ers he was exceptional and we couldn't lay a finger on him all night.

Oh dear Mr Shanahan. Oh dear. If reports are true he's lost his franchise QB for next season.
Last night showed why I don't like the option in the Pros. You want to put your QB out there as a runner. Be my guest, the guys going to get hit hard and will accumulate injuries.

Seattle lodge a complaint about the state of Washingtons pitch. Don't blame em. Has claimed AP and Chris Clemons ACLs in the last 2 seasons. Awaiting confirmation that RG3 has done his ACL and PCL. (10-14 month recovery period)

I think RG3 himself should take a bit of the flack, when he was out against Cleveland he was saying he was good to go and seem a bit bitter over Cousins' success. Not been the same since that freak collision with Ngata. Alot of people harp on about his great character but comes across as a tad arrogant to me. I would love to see Suh dump him to the ground.

Completely disagree. A pro sportsman is always going to want to stay in the game. He's been viewed as the saviour of the franchise, he's hardly going to take himself out of a playoff game.
