49ers vs. Falcons Open Game Thread

I really am looking forward to this game. It is rare that the championship game doesn't have a team I hate in it, but that is the case in this one. I want the Falcons to win, but I will be cheering for the winner of this game in the Super Bowl either way.

Use this thread to discuss the game.
