Atlanta Falcons fans should feel very confident heading into tomorrow’s NFC Championship Game. There’s much to respect about the Green Bay Packers, but they aren’t the same powerhouse from previous seasons. The Packers’ journey to Atlanta is quite the story, but that journey effectively ends on Sunday.
The Falcons wouldn’t have the playoffs any other way. I remember suggesting that the road to Houston would have to be through Seattle and Green Bay. Few in the mainstream have taken the Falcons seriously, but surely knocking off the Seahawks and Packers in the playoffs would change that.
