Man I thought you were talking about obnoxious arrogant fans. Man I tell ya, those jags fans are even worse than the Falcons fans. Falcons fans just had PTSD afterwards. Some of them seem to be getting over it, and acknowledged Brady is the GOAT.
We don't need to say anything about those eagles fans Jeff Laurie has supported. Jeff Laurie is a disgusting human being for allowing that crap to happen.

Nope.
ATL more potent offense
PHI superior defense.
Would agree, but i also do not believe philly’s d is some kind of a juggernaut either.
I can still remembee when fans thought brandon graham was a huge disappointment in the 2010 draft, and how vinny curry was seen in the same light for a while and is wildly overpaid. I realize this means nothing on Sunday but a lot of this is coming from last week’s egg laid by minny and the media using wishful thinking, not wanting the pats offense to do well. Not the best match up for philly, and it will be by far and away the most overwhelming offense they will have faced all year.
Andrews will handle jernigan, bb will double cox and neutralize him with thuney and some help. I am sorry but chris long does not scare for 3 downs all game long. I envision dewayne allen playing a bit like a tackler where solder helps thuney with cox, and so forth. Bb certainly knows chris long’s weaknesses.
I think philly’s lb quality and secondary is a clear advantage for the pats, certainly more so than vs jax.
And, don’t get me started at how overrated tim jernigan is, as a disappointment in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, effective playess like both flowers, the wildly underrated van noy, and rooks wise and butler will pose some serious problems for their front.
Vitai filling for peters has been an issue for them all year. Expect bb to scheme or induce plays to the weak side.
i think when we analyze full season stats we have to take into account that Falcons D last year really started getting much better in the latter halfFWIW:
Falcons 2016: PF 540 PA 406
Patriots 2016: PF 441 PA 250
Eagles 2017: PF 457 PA 259
Patriots 2017: PF 458 PA 206
The conclusion based solely on this stat: the 2017 Patriots are facing a significantly lesser offense but a very significantly stingier D (missing data point: PA or PF trends).
Eagles vs playoff teams: Of the 3 regular season games against playoff teams and their 2 playoff games, the Eagles are 4-1. Up until last week vs Minnesota, the Eagles had not won a game against a playoff team that wasn't decided until the last possession (one score outcomes). Based on this and based on Patriot SB history, expect next Sunday to be another CPR game.
Nope.
