That basically embodies why the rest of the country hates New England sports fans.

They just want to see the Patriots lose; it doesn't matter who does their dirty work for them.

That's true. It's more of a anti Patriots movement more so then a I like Atlanta now one.

Let's hope so, because I'm supposed to be in Boston sometime next week and I don't want to have to be in the middle of the Patriots parade

5-0 last year and then they stunk it up. It's not clownish to be in doubt. Actually it would be gullible for non-fans to suddenly restore faith in the falcons again before January rolled around

No one is really rocking with the Falcons. People just hate the Patriots. Don't be confused.

I've been down with Matt Ryan since his BC days. Definitely rooting for him. It was evident their offense was potent, but it was difficult to tell if their defense could hold up. In hindsight, it probably didn't matter, given their offense. The NFC was fairly wide open and it just so happened that Atlanta's O was the unit that stepped up the most, out of all teams in the playoffs, when it mattered. Their defense is better at this point in the season too.
The game should be good. I don't know if I see it being a barn burner from start to finish (nerves, SB tempo out of the gates, etc), but both teams should be able to score. 27-24, 30-27 seem like good numbers for the final score, with the potential of minus one point or so for the possible missed PAT(s).

Dieon Jones, Beasley, Neal, & Grady Jerret will keep the Pats run game in check.

Per PFF:
https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-ranking-all-32-defensive-front-sevens-this-season/
" The Falcons were lucky that their offense was able to often build early leads, because this run defense was mostly smoke and mirrors in many games. Atlanta didn’t have a single player that you could point to and say, “He’s good against the run.” Nose tackle Grady Jarrett earned the unit’s highest grade in run defense, and even he was only 52nd in that regard among interior defenders. Saving this unit from the bottom five was the breakout of second-year sack artist Vic Beasley, who led the NFL with 16 sacks. "
Their run defense is not good at all. They give up 4.5 ypc, good for 6th worst. Their line is fast, but undersized. You can bet Belichick is going to expose their run defense.

We'll take it. I have a feeling our pass rush is gonna do exactly what the Giants did in '07 and '11. Soon as that Pats O-line gets scatterbrained Brady is food.
