Luke Skywalker vs The Evil Empire: Patriots vs Falcons Super Bowl 51 Thread

If Vic Beasley can have close to the Impact like Vonn did last year

Have a feeling Julio will be contained but he's so talented, hopefully he can have Fitz like SB performance .

They don't have a guy that's physical enough to stay with julio 1 on 1.....so it's either double team and let the other receivers eat.....or play man-to-man and julio will get his anyway. Plus they have to worry about the running backs..


It's probably going to be like most good Super Bowls......close to the end.

Fortunately for us...we're undefeated 6-0 when julio has less than 35 yards or doesn't play

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 cakewalk

I was thinking +7 us but I'm leaning more towards a close game. Defensively they do have the #1 scoring defense but this is a team that got rid of it's two best defenders in Jaime Collins and Chandler Jones. When you adjust the stats with DVOA (defense adjusted value over average) they're only 16th. But fukk the analytics, were a more talented team than NE, more Pro Bowlers, more All Pros, more speed, more matchup advantage on our side. Pats have the advantage in experience and coaching but where else do they really have an advantage? Falcons 34-27

BTW, Falcons are undefeated when we score 30 or more this season

The way I'm seeing it, Ryan and a single high safety on Julio, Butler on Gabriel, Rowe on Sanu. IDK who they're gonna have for Hooper (maybe Ninkovich), or Devonta/Tevin (maybe Chung or Hightower). Patriots don't blitz a lot or have ends that can really get to the QB so I think Matt will have time to find guys including Julio, even if they do double him

I see some advantages, but this is the Super Bowl....Everybody should be giving it everything they have, and that means unpredictable things will happen that can change the game completely. I wouldn't bet on either team with my money. Even though I'm looking for that Falcons W

I think at the end of the day talent wins. If the Falcons and Patriots switched jerseys, the Patriots with Matt, Julio, Devonta, Tevin, Sanu would be a 7-10 point favorite over the Falcons. I think people are picking the Patriots because their familiar with them on this stage...were clearly the more talented team and that's why I think we win

i just can't get motivated for this SuperBowl. I'll probably watch but man this match up does nothing for me. I'm willing to bet the ratings for this Superbowl will be down.

Nobody gives a fukk about your tv viewing habits here.

Mack being hurt is a real problem for the Falcons. They'll numb up his leg and he'll start but if he gets a quick hook that's gonna be a bad look

Whos sleepin on you doe

No one has said their offense isnt great..the falcons are goin up against the one D and coach that over the past 15 years has shut down just about every top offense they have faced...just as our defense numbers are inflated by playing shyt offense, yall have put up great offense against some putrid defenses...the key will be stoping Ryan on his first drive...over the last 8 games hes 36-40 with 6 tds on that first drive...

This. nikkas are acting like Belichick is not one of the GOAT defensive minds in NFL history!

These nikkas are too young to remember how genius Belichick's defensive scheme was for the high-flying Bills back in the 1990s when he was defensive coordinator for the Giants.

nikkas sleep on how dynamic that Bills offense was due to them losing consecutive Super Bowls.

Really good article: Bill Belichick’s Super Bowl XXV game plan is stuff of legend

This one, too:
Foundation of Belichick's Super Bowl game plan began with Giants

Falcons are good. But, let's not forget who they are up against! Belichick effectively limited two of the GOAT offenses in NFL history in the Super Bowl.

Give him time to study the Falcons tendencies and he'll cook something up with Patricia.

It's going to be a close game.

Yup! Give him two weeks, he will find a waekness......

I think Pat's might try and double Jones but also send an extra man a few times to pressure Ryan.
