Absolute hatred for the P*triots?

Falcons were clearly the most well-rounded team in the NFC. Greatest Show on Turf reborn with a physical, opportunistic defense. Never trusted Dallas.

Dallas did pretty good to at least come back but inexperience hurt them early on. Not a stretch to think the Seahawks could beat Green Bay as well since the game would have been at home. We will see how the Falcons do in the Super Bowl, I remember the Giants had a great NFC Championship game in 2000 and we all know what happened next. Still that offense will be tough to stop. I still think New England wins even if that makes me want to throw up.

How about their being our AFC North representatives?

We should have a million football fan march to protest the tyranny of the Patriots.

Can't believe I got excited about a potential Steelers touchdown.  Now with Bell out, even more reason to root for the Steelers.  He could have a torn groin.  

Can't bring myself to root Pats.  Just tired of their crap.  

I'm just sick of seeing the Cheetahs sleepwalk their way to the AFCCG every year. It's like all they have to do every year is win one actual game and they're through to the Superb Owl. And this year said actual game was against a team who couldn't beat them even if the game was rigged.

I actually heard we were going kicker & punter first two rounds in April. Depth is a key factor for successful teams.

I feel good about that.  Plus I think the Steelers have gotten some humility the past few years with their playoff misses and woes.  Can't say the same for the team on the opposite side of the ball.

I'm so tired of them oppressing every single nfl team out there. Brilliant!

With the Packers, they'd have two weeks to get healthy. That was their biggest issue.

Still don't think they'd beat the Falcons, but I do think they'd stand a fight against the Pats.

I just don't see how their defense could stop Brady. The Pats defense could at least limit Rodgers.

Ben limping off the field at halftime? LOL, trying to create drama cause the Steelers are losing so he looks like a hero if they come back and win.

At this point I'm a Falcons fan for the next two weeks. Just want to see Matt Ryan and co do to the winner of this game what they did to the Packers.

It's like when we were cheering for them to beat the Bengals a few years ago. Gotta say 10 Hail Ozzies and hope the football gods can forgive you.

 

Come to think of it, maybe that's why we've had so many injuries since then.

I think the Pats defense has been overrated by the lack of quality quarterbacks and offenses in general they've played.

YES

[PuRock]

I used to live in Atlanta for several years as a kid.  I have absolutely nothing but love for that team, especially if they can knock off the Patriots/Steelers.  If they do that, they will hold a special place in my heart just like the Packers do.  

[ratedr]

I at least have some grudging respect for PIT. I have none for NE.

Actually, I hope they both self destruct.

Yeah, no clue why I'd counter any of the previous points you made. Crazy, right?

Anyway, he's dealt with inferior lines and running games for the majority of his career, and even then, his offensive line this year wasn't some super pass blocking line and his only big weapon was Julio. The others are guys that were castoffs (Gabriel, Robinson) or players we laughed at the Falcons for signing (Sanu), and a rookie (Hooper).

point remains. If he had the Ravens' O line, run game and receivers he would not be in the discussion for the MVP or heading to the SB. 

[Tank 92]

Patsies seem to always get these strange, lucky breaks. Is Bell out or will he come back?

Let's gather up the other fan bases of AFC Teams and protest for more parity in the AFC!
