I'm with Jack, I'd rather celebrate after. I'm a bit concerned about this game and possible over-confidence. On paper, I agree we should beat this team soundly. Then again, we should've beaten Minnesota and the Rams soundly as well.

The 9ers went on the road this year and beat GB, NE, and NO(Rodgers, Brady, and Brees), and should be able to handle Ryan. But that doesn't account for the fluke things that can go wrong, the wrong bounces the visiting team may get, the right bounces the home team may get, etc.

We're here again one year later, with a lot of veteran leaders, and a chance to redeem ourselves from the fluke Title Game mishap last year. That is certainly something that works against Atlanta. They very well could be victims of circumstance to a 49er group of veteran leaders who use the pain from last year's loss to will this team to win Sunday. But we gotta play the game, and as we all know, anything is possible when you are at this level of the playoffs.

One thing is almost certain though. This will be an even better team next year. When you consider a young dynamic QB who was forced to grow up quickly who will actually be the starter through training camp, plus 12 or 13 more draft picks, free agency, and guys like Manningham, Hunter, Haralson and Williams coming back, it is obvious we have things to be excited about for the future.
