With the Falcons defense, they have a lot of talent and a great defensive mind in Quinn. The real issue is whether or not the young guys can handle the bright lights. If they can, I don't see a reason Atlanta's defense can't keep NE from scoring more than that offense. 

Everyone expected GB to just shred Atl and Atlanta really took it to them.

Yeah they did do well although like you said earlier, Green Bay wasn't exactly healthy on offense. I do like Quinn and I like a lot of their players. If they had Trufant healthy I would be more inclined to think they would do well. I just don't know if they can keep the Pats in check. That offense for New England is tough to defend if you haven't seen it before. 

Hoping Atlanta wins but I don't want to get my expectations too high either

2 Championship Games... 2 Blowouts. Not what the NFL was expecting.

[RaineV1]

That's the game. The Steelers' offense hasn't been that good in the playoffs, and their defense couldn't carry them against the Pats.

[allblackraven]

Steelers can still win this. They just need NE to re-hire Dean Pees for the 4th quarter.

They should have.  Packers decimated with injuries and the Steelers defense are papers Champs.   

 

Also have said for a while that Ben's been playing awful the past few games of the season.  Been covered by the Bell going lights out and the holding allowed by their OL.

The Ravens are STILL the only AFC team to not crap their pants when they have to play at Foxboro in January.

this years playoffs

Pats have such an easy ride to the Super Bowl lol

Only team that had a shot at knocking them off was the Raiders with a healthy Carr

[baroquenspirit]

Next year I am rooting for you guys to make the playoffs. Our only chance is if you eliminate the Patriots for us.

The Texans could have done it if they started Savage.

Even with Elam. We are LITERALLY the only team that is even competitive.

Pretty much. Patriots were gifted another trip to the Super Bowl the second Carr got injured. 

Gostkowski misses an extra point... 🤣

It's not a choke. It's a typical game against the Pats. 

 

[rossihunter2]

well i think for the first time i can properly remember the superbowl teams are going to be lead by the two best qbs in the league from that year - im actually looking forward to it

[Militant X 1]

The Patriots offensive scheme/system if fierce.

What do you mean? They are in the toughest division. Toughest! Toughest! If I keep saying it, maybe it will be true.....It's not working! Yes, you are correct; they get a walk in every year.

Yeah, even with him that 2014 game was at least competitive - something no other side going back to Tim Tebow has been able to do there (when Sanchez beat them the year before. Lol).

It's a good job the Falcons won't have to go to Foxboro.

You might never hear this from again, but good luck today.

Thanks man. I just got up but still tired, so saw the score and the game looks one sided again. Quick summary anyone?

[gooftroop]

Two flags in three quarters. What discipline by these teams- not a hold, or a PI, by either team. Astounding!
