As an unbiased fan who doesn't care, I think it comes down to aesthetics. Rodgers is exciting to watch flail around all over the field with heroic effort. Brady is just cool and methodical. While I'm sure what he is doing is difficult for him, me makes it look easy. AR, on the other hand, makes...

I agree. There is a lot of concern by Atlanta fans because of losing to the Dolphins. I've seen at least 20 "this Sunday is our season" posts on our message board. I usually reply: "The worst thing that can happen is we will be 3-3 with a 3-0 conference record." Just like every year, our...

That is one way to look at it. You could also say it is simple enough to allow the players to play fast. Still, we are actually playing a lot more man that most realize. Man defense is pretty simple, but if you lose....you lose. They will take both approaches. The Falcons, as a rule, will play...

The Falcons D has Trufant back and is just plain ole more consistent than they were last year. I don't think the Patriots are going to have much success to the outside. Most teams don't even try it. The Falcons, by scheme, allow easy passes to the slot, TEs, and RBs. Most teams just take it...

Sanu is unlikely to play. That is actually a significant blow to both the running game and the quick "don't call it a pick" plays. Just for information, the Falcons are running more inside zone and more straight pitch sweeps under Sark than they did under Shanny. If I see one more quick pitch...

Long thread. No one under 40 will make it to the end! Summary: 1) Falcons D is better 2)Falcons O is far less consistent 3)The potential of the Patriots D far exceeds their level of execution so far Here's hoping both teams walk away healthy and the that the team that comes closest to playing...

To the victor, the spoils. As a Falcons fan, I never thought the game was won. I told my wife at half time we needed 10 points to win. We got 7. Great job by the Patriots D! The Patriots offense should move the ball on our defense. It was the defensive stops the Patriots got that impressed me...

Thanks to many of you for the respectful back and forth this week. There are things we clearly agree on, and yet we draw different conclusions from that body of knowledge. The exchange has been both educational and entertaining for the most part. One point that I've made in several threads...

You accused me of ignorance on the AFC East. I'm going to call you on the same here. I've had this debate in many threads. Our scoring defensive stat is just a number. Atlanta played 6 games against top 10 scoring offenses vs. only 2 games against bottom 10 scoring offenses. We have given up...

My response to the OP was much more tongue in cheek that it is being taken as. I found his level or ire at the video amusing. I responded as such. This is my fun thread. I'm letting it play out. My first post in this thread was laced with sarcasm. I thought that was clear. I think the largeness...

A lot of analytics and words. The fact is pretty simple. NE claws through minimal resistance and shows up fresh and ready in the playoffs every year. The only adversity they face comes from the commissioner. I do appreciate your comments. My opinion remains that the Saints, the 3rd place NFC...

Other seasons...other teams. I respect him. However, if you think Bill will be calling all the shots tomorrow while Atlanta's upstart coaches struggle to respond, your in for an eye opening experience. Atlanta will be dictating responses from Bill more often than you think. Atlanta is a much...

If the divisions had played each other, those numbers would mean something. The 7-9 Saints (3rd place team) would be favored over everyone in that division other than the Patriots. They same could not be said for the 7-9 Bills vs the Saints, Bucs, and Jets.

In my opinion, you are reaching for something that isn't there. Everybody lays an egg at some point during the season. Yes, even the Patriots this season against a division opponent. It happens.

Everyone tries to put the Falcons in cover 3 because Quinn is from Seattle. The truth is, I can't think of a game since week 8 where we spent more that half the game in it. We played quite a bit in week 17 vs. the Saints because we had a huge lead. An onsides kick late made that game a lot more...

Thanks for the response. I guess that I see that particular Rams team as very different in style from the Falcons. The Rams were a traditional finesse dome team in every since of the word. Atlanta is much more physical in all aspects of the game. We're not big, but we are very physical. The...

' That is just silly. I've been here for two weeks and I've said nothing of the sort. Check out my posts. Barking up the wrong tree. No trolls here.

Another greatest show on turf reference. What does that have to do with 2016? I really don't get the connection. Falcons defense is almost magical if they scored their 5 defensive TDs off only 1 forced fumble and 3 INTs. (Atlanta and NE both have +11 margin, but Atlanta got 5 scores off of...

I've been polite since I got here, but if you speak about the Falcons and use the word "finesse" you lose credibility with both me and knowledgeable Patriots fans. Keanu Neal

The news today was better. However, today was not a full speed practice and their was no camera footage of Mack limping around. While I've said Quinn doesn't play games with injury reports, either there was a quick recovery or Mack is still hurting. I suspect the later. He will play. Their is a...
