From the regular season to the playoffs, the game week after week, except for the offseason and the wild card rounds, there is no time and room for breathing and adjustment. Once the season starts, it rushes towards the end until the final. It will never stop before the final championship.
The interval between each game and each game is the same. In a week, each team will quickly make adjustments within a short rest period, and then devote themselves to the next matchup. It is not an easy task, but it is the daily routine of the professional league.
However, after entering the playoffs, the time seems to start accelerating. It is also a week-long rest period, but it seems that it has just taken a breath. The Confederations final has officially arrived.
On January 20, the two finals of the federations came in succession: at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the League of Nations finals took the lead; then at 6.30 p.m. Eastern Time, the Finals of the United League followed.
Although the two league finals can be described as a strong duel, by comparison, the two teams of the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots are the veteran strong teams of the league, and the fan base is more solid and extensive; at the same time, the top stars It is more, from the aspects of publicity gimmicks and highlights, it is slightly better.
After careful deliberation, the league official still arranged the final of the Midland League at night.
As a result, the 49th player of the National League's top seed San Francisco will appear in the afternoon-3 pm Eastern time, which is 12 noon Western time. This will be a noon match that will take place at home, the team will sit at home and face the Second League. Seed Atlanta Falcon.
After the opening of the regular season this season, the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons teams can be regarded as moments of glory. The strong winning streak has always kept going hand in hand, extending from three straight wins to nine straight wins. In fact, because of the two There is no mobile phone meeting in the regular season. If the Atlanta Falcons can continue their winning streak, the possibility of two winning teams at the same time may be objective.
It is a pity that in the end, the Atlanta Falcons were the first to be defeated by the rival New Orleans Saints in the same region, which ended the pattern of the Double Heroes.
But there is no doubt that the Atlanta Falcons are still one of the most outstanding teams this season. In fact, this is one of the most successful seasons in team history.
This team was founded in 1965, when an Atlanta insurance company chief Rankin-M-Smith (Rankin-M-Smith) established the Falcons. When fans voted for the team name, there were many fans who suggested Under the name "Falcons", only one middle school teacher from a neighboring city, Julia-Elliott, became the winner.
The reason she chose this name is, "Falcon is proud and noble because of its bravery and good fighting. It never drops its prey, which is like a traditional virtue on the sports field."
This has become the team's thrust of the Atlanta Falcons.
Compared with other teams with a long history in the league, this is a young team, and it is not a traditional strong team either. It has a weak sense of presence in the league and has never won a Super Bowl championship so far. Of the forty-seven seasons so far, twelve have reached the playoffs, five of which have won the division title, which cannot be regarded as a dazzling record.
However, it is worth mentioning that the twelve times reached the playoffs, six times after the millennium; and the five outstanding regional champions, three times in the new century. In other words, this team ushered in a reborn transformation in the 21st century and became a strong player in the South of the League of Nations.
To be precise, the rise of the Atlanta Falcons occurred in the 1998 season.
The year before the 1998 season, in 1997, legendary coach Dan-Reeves (Dan-Reeves) entered the home team, introducing the league veteran quarterback Chris Chandler, who has been wandering for almost ten years (Chris-Chandler), as well as the team's own draft seven-round 2001 running back Jamal-Anderson (Jamal-Anderson), these three core figures gathered together.
Originally, the team that didn't seem to have any bright spots had a spark under the correct arrangement and combination. After a season of polishing, it shined in the 1998 season. Not only did it win the division championship, and it entered with one blow. In the Super Bowl, they met the defending champion Denver Broncos, and unfortunately lost the game with a score of "19:34".
In fact, neither quarterback Chris Chandler nor running back Jamal Anderson, they are not the top legends in the league. After the outbreak of the 1998 season, they have gradually disappeared from the crowd. It seems that one season Exploded all the energy of his career.
But it is undeniable that this season, the Falcons successfully completed the transformation, from the draft team to the introduction of players and other aspects have been on the track. After the league was re-zoned in 2002, they became one of the League of Nations South. Support the powerhouse.
The 1998 season was the only time the Atlanta Falcons scored in the Super Bowl. In addition, in the 2004 season, the Falcons also reached the final of the National League, but unfortunately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.
In 2008, the Atlanta Falcons hired Mike Smith (Mike-Smith) as the head coach. Although this coach has been the coach of the NFL since 1982, he has always been a defensive assistant coach until hunting. The Hawks boldly promoted him to the position of head coach, which became another turning point for the team.
After Mike Smith took office, he selected quarterback Matt Ryan in the first round of the draft at the draft meeting. The offensive team had the most important piece of the puzzle, four times in the next five years. Entering the playoffs, which won two division titles in the 2010 season and the 2012 season, even when facing the New Orleans Saints at their peak, they also showed strong competitiveness.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Atlanta Falcons are in the most competitive period in the history of the team. They have achieved 13 wins and 3 losses this season, replicating the success of 2010, but offensively and defensively. The performance is even better.
In the 2010 season, after entering the playoffs, the Atlanta Falcons lost to the final Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers with a score of "21:48"; this season, the Atlanta Falcons again faced Green Bay Packing in the playoffs Workers, they did not make a mistake, "37:35", to maintain the victory to the end, to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Now, it is the San Francisco 49ers who have remained undefeated this season!
At one time, the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers were rivals in the same district.
From 1970 to 2001, before the league was re-zoned, the two teams were also affiliated with the Western Conference of the League of Nations. In the history, the number of encounters was as many as 62. The San Francisco 49ers who had the upper hand had the advantage of the duel. The Falcons 'S total record is 24 wins and 38 losses.
But interestingly, these clashes all came from the regular season, and the two teams never played in the playoffs.
On the one hand, during this period, the San Francisco 49ers have always been at their peak. The strength of the two sides is quite disparate, and they have not even played in the playoffs. On the other hand, after re-division in 2002, it has been ten years now. The number of matches between the teams is even more limited. The so-called atmosphere of enemies in the same district has long since disappeared.
Now the duel again, there is not much confrontation between the two teams, the smell of gunpowder has become much thinner, everything is only about the victory of the game, they all hope to return to the Super Bowl stage, the last time the Falcons The journey to the Super Bowl was in 1998, and the 49ers would have to go back to a more distant 1994. The long wait is looking forward to a breakthrough this year.
Simply analyzing from the perspective of strength, this game is undoubtedly Mars hitting the earth, not only a series of numbers of regular season wins and losses, but also can predict the spark of the duel from the hard power side-
Offensive group, San Francisco 49ers league third, Atlanta Falcons League sixth; defensive group, San Francisco 49ers league second, Atlanta Falcons league fifth.
In addition to the Denver Broncos that were accidentally eliminated, the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons are the two teams with the most average and strongest comprehensive strength. On the official rankings, these two teams have always maintained the first two. The position of the name can be considered as such. The number of victory and defeat records reflects the overall strength of both offense and defense to a certain extent.
If the U.S. League final is a "contradiction war", a confrontation between offense and defense; then the U.S. League final is "all attack and all defense", all-round competition in different links.
At the end of the first half of the season, the entire league began to look forward to this confrontation. The mainstream view believes that this is bound to be one of the highlights of the National League this season. After waiting hard for two months, the two peak teams finally live up to expectations. The final of the National Association of National Leagues is definitely a pinnacle of Huashan's sword-style showdown!
greatly awaited! Absolutely looking forward to it!
Incidentally, the last time the two teams met was the fourth week of the 2010 regular season. At that time, the San Francisco 49ers in the trough lost to the rising Atlanta Falcons with a weak score of "14:16". .
For Lu Ke, this is a brand new opponent!
From the player to the tactics, from the style to the way, all, everything is brand new, which also means that he must go all out, any little negligence may ruin their efforts and hard work throughout the season. Although the opponent is not Aron Rogers expected by the media, Lu Ke knows that Matt Ryan's threat is definitely not inferior to any quarterback in the league!
During the Pro Bowl last year, Lu Ke and Matt Ryan became friends. Although there was not much communication, the relationship was still extraordinary; I did not expect that this year they will stand on the field and fight for the Super Bowl seat. , Can this be considered a fate?
In a blink of an eye, the game day is here! It is the final of the National League and the candlestick stadium, so what is the end of this time?
