How would the 2013 Superbowl Season have gone if the Falcons hadn’t squeaked by us the year before?
Because that loss hurt them, it made them angry. It put a chip on their shoulder. Sometimes adversity gives you what you need. After that game Pete told the locker room that THIS was why they need to have home field advantage. And because of that we crushed the next season and had the #1 seed. If we would have beaten the Falcons and made it to the NFC Championship game they may not have felt like they MUST WIN home field. For me personally I’m hoping that Lucas is able to come back in and our line can stabilize. And we can get back on track. All we need is to swing momentum. We do have a very stacked roster. If we can start playing our best game we can turn things around. If that happens, this path will have been worth it.
