Falcons got some power but they can be beat. Its about containing Julio over there.

The Falcons have a very stout o-line ,rb ,receivers and the best pass rusher in football.

Good for them. We have two league MVPs and an actual defense.

Much better chance with Romo we'd destroy the patriots easily.

Falcons can easily beat us with Prescott, they have no chance with Romo at qb...whole coaching should be fired.

I'm just enjoying the season. Haven't thought about the sb. If they get to the conference championship I'll start thinking about the sb.

If they do beat us, it's not because of the offense. We win or lose that game based on whether we can mitigate the Ryan/Julio connection (like the did the first half of the 2015 game) or not. Even without Gregory/Hardy/D-Law and Ryan having tons of time, our defense was still able to take away a lot of the outside passes they liked to use in the first half. If it wasn't for stupid clock management at the end of the first half and Weedon being Weedon on the first drive of the 2nd half, the Falcon Offense would have never have gained momentum. That, and Freeman gouged us with over 100 yards (thanks Nick Hayden), but I don't see that happening again. And they were a hot team when we came across them early last year.
As far as their defense? I'd put them somewhere in the 3rd tier with the Bears. They aren't getting off the field until we tell them to.
Right now, at home, the only NFC team I would really not like to tangle with are the Commanders. They have a better defense and more passing weapons than the Falcons. They've also seen us twice this year, so they have tape on what worked or didn't. Thank goodness they are more than likely out of the playoffs.
From the AFC, it's the Patriots and the Chiefs.
The Patriots have the best coaching, best QB and smartest scheming (OFF/DEF). Their defense is nameless like ours, but they are like a slab of clay and can be molded to create a custom scheme to take away opposing team's strengths week after week. They're not like the Seahawks. The Pats defense reinvents itself each week and with two weeks off before the SB, they are going to come out and play purpose-built defense catered to your strengths.
KC has, IMO, one of the best defenses in the league (in someways, better than Minny) and a methodical offense that crawls down the field and plays field position. They win by dumbing the game down and forcing you to open up on their opportunistic defense.

I would freaking love to make it back to the Superbowl, after 20+ years of not winning jack.........2 wildcard wins in 20 years
I really would not even be that upset if we lost the SB, I would love just to make it there.

Hopefully so -- Marinelli will be obliged to emphatically insist that his rushmen make certain to do everything in their power to make Matt Stafford uncomfortable in the pocket. The Giants managed to do so quite well. The results speak for themselves. Given time, Stafford is highly capable of making hapless fools of any defense that fails to offer a decent pass rush. He has certainly done that to us in the past. Here's hoping our guys will tend to that and cause him to be as ineffective as the Giants did. It'll take a great effort from our DL. With help from Gregory and Irving, perhaps this DL will find a way to display the ability to exert a potent pass rush when it's required. They're improving each week, so why not?

Not only this year but four or five years to come. This team is young and talented.

Sure like that picture of the Doomsday Defense. It sure is looking good for a long run in the Playoffs!!

My wish is that the giants win tonight and leave them with some hope of still winning the division and then break their heart on Monday night. I also want another piece is then in the playoffs. I think they got lucky on both of their wins against us and that they won't be so lucky the third time. How fitting would it be to lose to them twice in a season only to lose in the playoffs on the way to a SB victory...talk about irony.

I hope you're right. I'm not getting my hopes too high. Been disappointed too much over the years. Regardless this has been a special season.
