The thing about the Falcons winning and the "monkey" coming of the back is, in many ways, that was their Super Bowl. Losing that game would be been potentially franchise altering, so winning allows them to play more freely, but with less motivation than the 49ers, who it cannot be forgetten were a few plays from being in the Super Bowl last year. With a very similar lineup for the 49ers as last year, I expect them to come out wanting it much worse than the Falcons, plus my already existing belief that they are the better team, makes me think this won't be a close game.

But if the Falcons win of course they get respect. This isn't college, it's settled on the field so victory is the only currency of respect.
