Matt Ryan was 0-3 in his playoff career and was looking to avoid becoming the first quarterback since the merger to lose his first four postseason starts.
Ryan had never thrown for 200 yards in a playoff game, and his 28.3 Total QBR in the postseason is second-worst among quarterbacks with at least two playoff starts since 2008 (Andy Dalton, 16.6 Total QBR).
Today he came out on top but still threw 2 int's and was out yardaged 250 - 385 by Wilson, sorry but I am still not a Ryan believer
so basically you're changing the topic now
game winning drive
call him a choker anyways because he lost his first 3 playoff games
got it.
it's matt ryan's fault his defense choked in the 4th q
and while we're speaking about passing stats, let's forget about going 6/11 on 3rd down conversions

I'm not changing the topic I believe Matt Ryan makes too many mistakes in crunch time, I started this thread before the game was over and if they missed the field goal......would you still call him Matty Ice?
No because he would be 0-4 in playoff games and there wouldn't have been a game winning drive..........Ryan was outplayed by the rookie today, so you can keep defending Ryan all you want it will not change my opinion of him.

Wilson was playing catch up man. His numbers would have to be better.
Speaking of QBR, he had a better number than Brady today by a decent margin. I guess we can include Brady's game today as poor and he could have been a choke artist. Since it doesn't matter if you win or lose the game.
Also Seahawks have Rice, Tate, Baldwin and Miller. Maybe not the star power of Julio, Roddy and Tony G but when you add in Lynch and Turbin you get a pretty Dang good assembly of talent. I know Calvin Johnson would love to have any of those guys as team mates. Not taking anything away from Wilson as he may become great but as of now Ryan is the better QB as seen by only Brady and Pats have more win than his 56 in last 5 years.
He is not the first QB to go winless in his first 3 playoff games and I would predict none of the others lost to the NFC representative in the Super Bowl in each of those years...not to mention the Super Bowl champions the last two years.

The funny thing is if Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Tom Brady did the same thing as Matt Ryan did today all the national media would be slobbering all over them telling us how much great, superior QB's they are compared to everyone, but since it was the Falcons and Matt Ryan some focus on a timeout when a FG kicker was practicing a kick after the whistle blew and players stopped playing (nobody knows what is going in his head after that distraction or maybe he was just kicking it straight for practice to adjust on the real kick coming up) or they focus on other mistakes whereas if it was Brady, Rodgers, or Favre the media would be telling us how great they are again.........
