ATLANTA Game day has dawned here sunny and warm. Too bad this afternoon’s playoff game is indoors.
It could be the last one in the Georgia Dome. The Falcons are moving into their new palace nearby for next season. Locals tells us it’s absurdly decadent.
Coach Pete Carroll talked to his Seahawks at the beginning of this week about the need to start fast today -- or at least not get boat-raced early. My colleague here Dave Boling pointed out Seattle has fallen behind by a combined 72-0 in the first half during their last three losses on the road in the divisional playoffs -- at Chicago, Atlanta in last January 31-0 at Carolina.
