Of course the ATL
The Patriots' defense is not as good as the scoring numbers indicate.

New England led the NFL in fewest points allowed during the regular season, but that ranking doesn't tell the full story.

According to Football Outsiders, the Patriots faced the easiest slate of opposing offenses. They ranked 16th in defensive efficiency -- 23rd against the pass and fourth against the run.

Granted, New England has shown steady improvement, but the Patriots now face a Falcons unit that played the second-toughest slate of defenses and still led the league in scoring and efficiency.

Yes ATL defense has been very good recently mydude...but if brady figures them out then its lights out...if Quinn doesnt make adjustments than its lightsout..just like in the superbowl 2 years ago...its hopefully going to be a great game, lets really see what ryan has tho...cause every big game hes been in hes been left with shyt stained underpants to this point. Atl's offense does scare the shyt outta me ( :lupe: )but lets see what happens game day...neither fan base should be over confident

Are you an imbecile? Did he shyt his pants in the nfc championship game? That was a "big game" and he was lights out. Or did you think that was Matt Schaub playing? fukk out of here with your stupid narrative :hhh::francis::camby:

Probably the only nikka pulling for NE, but Brady my guy. :mjpls:


I will say that this will be the toughest test this season :lupe: Obviously I want Brady to get this ring :ohlawd:but if Atl won fair and square then I won't be too upset :salute:....they've literally been on fire on offense and their defense has stepped up :whew:


Just hope Goodell don't push the refs into some fukk shyt :damn: ......I'm scared of that more than anything :damn:


I can take losing fair but don't go create fukkery, Roger :ufdup:

:dwillhuh:

What are you talking about? His last "big game" he put up 4 TDs and routed the Packers just 2 weeks ago. He destroyed SEA just the week before that. And the last time he was in the playoffs he set an NFC Championship passing game record with 396 yards passing vs. SF in 2012

Y'all gotta stop with the tired & cliched narratives on here breh...Matt Ryan has proven he's a clutch player
:coffee:those clichés are all they have to lean on, breh. "Belicheck with two weeks....", "I can't go against Belicheck and Brady in a Superbowl...", etc. It's tiring to hear.

The Falcons are the better team. They have the most playmakers. And they have guys in Quinn and Shannahan who are no slouches at scheming, respectively. That Superbowl gift from Seattle has really fukked people over in the head. Trying to manufacture the "Patriots Aura". That shyt been dead for a decade now.

While I don't know exactly how the game will play out, I DO know the cold, hard facts that:
1. ANY bracketing of Julio is, by definition, an advantage for our offense because of our number of weapons. ANY single coverage on Julio is an advantage for our offense because the Pats don't have a single player to stop him.
2. NE does not have one prominent pass rusher, so you must get pressure through scheme or blitz, obviously. Ryan kills against the blitz, and I'm hard pressed to believe that Ryan will be coverage-sacked all game, mainly because of my first point.
3. The interior of the Pats D-line is great. Branch and Brown are beasts. 300 plus lbs of power. Thats why I'm so glad we run a zbs that can take advantage of the edges and find creases in the middle. Shanny is gonna have their ass running sideline to sideline all game. Hands on hips and gasping by mid 3rd quarter.
4. Pats bread and butter is the 5 defensive back look with 3 safeties. Obviously this helps the Pats against faster teams and helps with coverage schemes. The downside is on running plays, especially in our "21" personnel (2 backs, 1 te), you'll have a safety matched on Dimarco(I'll take it) or Hooper/Toilolo(I'll take that too). Not only that, the possibility of play action makes each of those players a receiving threat. That's why Hooper and Toilolo will eat, and are my x-factors.
5. NE will hurt us in the bunch formation. Brady gets the ball out too quick, and the formation causes natural pick plays. Tackling will be at a premium. If not NE can methodically March down field and use it as an extension of the running game, because:
6. BLOUNT AINT GONNA DO shyt. STOP ACTING LIKE HE'S PRIME JEROME BETTIS. IF YOU TRY TO "CONTROL" THE BALL WITH HIS 3 YD CARRYING ASS, WE'LL TAKE IT. THAT MEANS YOUR NOT PASSING, WHICH IS YOUR STRENGTH.
7. Brady also kills the blitz, so we have to get pressure with our line. Jarret, Jackson, Hages and Babs up the middle--reed, freeney, and beas on the edge. If we don't get pressure, it turns into a shootout.
8. Nerves. The young guys have handled the big stage perfectly so far. But this is the biggest stage. Their swag has to be on 100! Or Brady will take their soul.
9. Pats defense as a whole is not great. That #1 scoring defense is a farce. The Seahawks defense we just murked, without Earl Thomas, is better than this defense. Debate me

Falcons 34-24. See y'all on Peachtree

Unless Ryan lays an egg, I see the Falcons winning by at least 10.

:skip:

You nikkas are wildin'.

Here's my official prediction:

Patriots 27
Falcons 21

Michael Floyd will only get a few snaps, but will make a big play.

Blount will wear down the Falcons once the Patriots get a lead.

Look for Martellus to eat in the red zone.

Lmao at this thread

I know this thread wild as fukk :mjlol:

I had a Patriots fan say "bu bu but we're the #1 scoring defense" not realizing that with DVOA stats NE's #1 defense is really #16 :mjlol:

I had another fan just say "oh well Beli will just figure Atlanta out, he's got 2 weeks prep time", what is he gonna figure out? That we're still gonna drop 30 even if half your team lines up on Julio? :mjlol:

I just sit back and laugh at some of the shyt in here too breh

I'm really happy for the Falcons. Never was a fan, but I'm always a fan of a team trying to get their first ring. Plus ATL had the dirty bird and 2 Legit 2 Quit seasons. Made them fun to watch.

NE is cac land. :scust:
