Clemons is out for sure. Most players are banged up by this time in playoff. Not a single player is garden fresh. The better players will rise to the occasion. I think Lynch will play and perform. Seahawk’s main offensive weapon is Russell Wilson and he is in very good shape.

"Most players are banged up by this time in playoff."

Yes but one needs to look closely at the type of probability. Hamstrings have a tendency to reoccur often, hence Trufant's problem. Lynch's back problem will be taken care via "deadeners" but pain will progress as the game goes along.

Wilson needs Lynch and visa versa in order to be effective. NFL defenses can neutralize single threats easily. In Wilson's case, forcing him to roll out towards his opposite hand would be one strategy. Play action will be neutralized as well if the Falcons sense Lynch is not all there.

Also this: West Coast teams have complained about the early starts for years, presenting the league with anecdotal and statistical evidence affirming what is obvious to anyone with a frequent-flier account. Time-zone issues make travel tougher from West to East, and the early kickoffs compound matters by forcing players to begin game-day preparations when their bodies are telling them it's still 6 a.m.

This is a huge factor but when looking at the Falcon's play-off performance in the last several years it might not matter lol. Odds are against the Seahawks though.
