just know if anything if yall dont blow these fags out it'll be a close game NE has never beat their opponent in the SB by more than 4...they played teams that had offenses nowhere the level of atl's offense the last team they played with an offense like or better than ATL's was st louis back in 2001 and NE damn sure doesnt have the same defense they had in 2001...so i laugh when i see ppl talkin like NE i gonna blow yall out..they're missing their biggest weapon and they still talking like it's gonna be a cakewalkBreh have you been watching the coverage of the game?I'm watching NFL Network and they're low key saying NE is gonna have an answer for everything we're gonna do. Like I respect y'all, but they makin it seem like y'all got all the answers for us no matter what. So yea we still are gettin slept on, y'all defense isn't talented enough to consistently stop us, scheme and hard work alone won't save you
Another stat: Falcons have scored on the opening drive in each of the last 8 games

Falcons center Alex Mack (fibula) limited again in practice Thursday
7:48 PM ET
Vaughn McClureESPN Staff Writer
HOUSTON -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn for the first time expressed concern about center Alex Mack, who continues to recover from a left fibula injury as the team approaches Sunday's Super Bowl LI matchup with the New England Patriots.
Matt Ryan's offseason tuneup paid off with 'best-case scenario' season
Matt Ryan spent last offseason training with two former pitchers to refine his game, a move that proved to be a valuable part of his career year.
Falcons coach used assist from Von Miller to help unleash Vic Beasley Jr.
Falcons defensive coordinator Richard Smith had the Broncos' Von Miller act as a mentor to Vic Beasley Jr., and he's had a breakthrough season.
Super Bowl LI: ESPN staff picks
Who will prevail in Super Bowl LI? ESPN's pro football brain trust assembles its list of predictions for the big game.
Mack, who didn't practice all of last week and was limited Monday and Wednesday, was limited again Thursday at Rice University. Quinn commented on Mack's status to pool reporter Peter King, who noted how Mack struggled at times throughout practice.
"I just know his toughness and strength is so great," Quinn said. "The good thing is, I know he's feeling better than he did in the NFC Championship Game. But yeah, I'm concerned. I'm not panicked, but I'm concerned."
Mack first suffered the injury in Atlanta's win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game. He initially exited for just one play but then sat out the final series of the game.
If Mack suffers a setback before Sunday or simply can't push through, Ben Garland would step in for him. Mack arguably was the best free-agent acquisition in the league last offseason, helping to solidify the offensive line in front of lead MVP candidate Matt Ryan. Mack not only assists in giving Ryan clean pockets, he also gets out in space and delivers vicious blocks to spring running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.
Quinn was asked about brushing up on the offensive game plan with Mack limited.
Julio Joneswas limited again coming off a toe sprain, and veteran defensive end Dwight Freeney, 36, was held out with a calf injury. Both are expected to be ready for Sunday, and Quinn called Freeney's absence just a maintenance day.
The Falcons wrap up the week of practice Friday afternoon and will have a walk-through Saturday.
I'm not concerned Mack won't play, I'm just concerned how effective he'll be
You don't think Pats/Falcons will beat Carolina/Denver
