Since the bye, the Pats played:
Seahawks
49ers
Jets (2x)
Rams
Ravens
Broncos
Dolphins
That's a tougher post-bye run-in than the Falcon's. The Panthers, Saints, Cardinals and 49ers were shyt teams. The Pats were playing playoff-caliber teams or those who at the very least were still in the hunt for the playoff wildcard spot.
This fallacy that the Pats had the easiest schedule in the league must stop. And even if that were to be true, the Pats could only play who was in front of them. But clearly they were good enough to beat the Texans and make light-work of the Steelers.
Sanu and Gabriel won't be as effective as you think they will (though they'll probably get more targets). Y'all forget the the Pats secondary (Logan Ryan, Malcolm Butler, Devin McCourty, and Patrick Chung) form one of the league's best. I'm sure they're having nightmares about covering Sanu and Gabriel once they double Julio
We won't even have to triple him.
And, as somebody who's watched Matt Ryan since we went to college together and has closely followed his pro career, he ain't the one to bring you all the way
It'll be an entertaining game but the Falcons are undoubtedly the underdogs.:NasWinsAgain:
