Falcons Rout Buccaneers 45-24, Cruise To NFC's No. 5 Seed

Michael Turner ran for 172 yards and two touchdowns, and the Falcons scored the first 42 points against the Buccaneers to capture the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs with a 45-24 victory. The outcome, coupled with the Lions' loss to the Packers earlier Sunday, means Atlanta avoided a first-round matchup against the New Orleans Saints and will play the winner of the NFC East -- either the Giants or Cowboys, depending on their winner-take-all showdown Sunday night. Atlanta's Matt Ryan played less than two quarters and completed 6-of-9 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns, both to Julio Jones. Josh Freeman ended a disappointing season on a sour note, committing four turnovers to increase his season total to 27. The third-year quarterback had just nine turnovers in a 10-win campaign in 2010, but Tampa Bay (4-12) ended this season on a 10-game losing streak, its longest skid since 1977.

that would mean they have to beat the packers and that can't be done except by us. We have the Kryptonite. We had it today. Superman was more like Lois Lane today

I could honestly see the Falcons beating the Packers depending on the situation. Its like a 1 in a million shot though so I doubt it. I just want to beat them by about 70 Points thats all.
