I agree he's an amazing regular season QB. One of the best ever. Top 5 QB of all time too I agree. But for whatever reason he isn't a post season winner like Brady or Montana. Tough company to be compared to I agree, but .500 in the post season isn't impressive, and if he losses Sunday he will be 1 win in 4 tries in the biggest game. Hell is little brother is 2 for 2. (He's better than Eli just saying)

Seattle still put up 23 points against what is a very ferocious 49'er defence. This same defence held Green Bay with it's weapons in place to 20 points at home. I'm sorry Bronco fans, but the Bronco's defence is nowhere near what the 49'er unit is like especially without Von Miller. But the one thing the Bronco defence did, was pretty much eliminate the running game for two opponents who did want to run the ball. So I do think a lot of that game is going to be in Russel Wilson's hands, and it will be his ability to make plays on offence that decide if Seattle has a chance in this game, or are methodically swept aside in games where the final score ended up looking close, but the game was never in doubt the way the Chargers and Patriots both were.

Baltimore and Tampa Bay are good examples of #1 defenses cashing in with subpar offences. I really think the underrated Seattle offence is what gives the Hawks the edge. 8th in the league isn't anything to sneeeze at.
