LMAO. All these Patriot related "punishments" are farces. When have they ever hurt the team? Never. They are mere facades traded for titles. Any team would trade such for a title. The commish has always been in Kraft's pocket. There was a magazine cover with Brady on the front that said "revenge" posted on a sports related Twitter account. For what? For being suspended because of your illegitimate involvement in messing with the air in footballs? Give me a break.

Same with the last 2 stealers sb wins especially vs seattle.

Holmgren was robbed.
Would have been first coach to win SB with two different teams.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I will never understand how Super Bowl losses are considered more of a negative that playoff losses or not even making the playoffs? At least they got there and should not be penalized for that!

Not a negative.

It's just 4 for 4 trumps 2 for 5 every day... and twice on Sunday.

Atlanta can get after the QB tho so I wouldn't sleep on them

I'm not sleeping on Atlanta I could see them winning this game but have to give Brady and NE with all their SB wins and appearances the edge. Atlanta only had 34 sacks this season which was 2 fewer than the Cowboys. When the Giants beat NE in 2007 they had 53 sacks that season and 48 sacks in 2011 when they beat NE. They were able to put some serious pressure on Brady in both games. Atlanta's defense has played well in the playoffs but one big reason is they jumped on both Seattle and Green Bay early getting them far behind.

Once you start getting behind by 2 or more scores you have to start pressing which plays into the hands of a defense. It's going to be tough for Atlanta to jump on NE like that. Both NE and Atlanta only had 34 sacks so this has the makings for a real shootout between Brady and Ryan. The Pats not having Gronk could be huge despite them winning without him because he's such a huge threat.

Last season Ryan's QB rating was 89.
This season his QB rating jump 28 points to 117.1

Same HC. Same offensive coordinator. Same mediocre defense. Same WR1. Same RB combo.

What the heck changed?

Officiating.....

I got ATL

 

[sweetness0986]

Let's go Atlanta. I can't deal with another NE SB parade a block from where I work. Makes commuting a nightmare.

 

[IAmLegend]

Lol Billy's such a troll

 

[IAmLegend]

I'm going with NE to win it, but wouldn't be at all surprised if ATL takes it. That offense is scary, and their D-Line is playing inspired football. Should be a good game though, which is all I'm asking for.

 

[sideon]

The fact that Brady might end up with as many rings as the Cowboys franchise makes me sick.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Dan Quinn's process is faster than Garretts.

It's like quick grits vs old fashioned grits... but much fasterer!

I'm rooting for Atlanta to blow them out.
RUSH Brady up the middle all game long.


For me, a good game is a blowout.... is that bad?
Lol

 

[DandyDon52]

he probably didnt, he was focused on his game not some other game.
also he may not care which one won, he will think about that now, but he needs to figure out how to slow atlanta down/

 

[DandyDon52]

Quinn would look good in Dallas! Regarding Ryan, l really don't know that much about him! He looks like a choirboy. I don't believe l have watched a Falcons game in years. Well, anybody would look better, to me, than that cursed idiot Garrett.

quinn got atl to sb in 2 years, he was dc for seattle, so he has helped their defense which is better than it looks , and has some young players.

For a guy who NEVER gives out bulletin board material.... he just did.... maybe he's that confident or that's his version of THREE INCH HEADLINES....

LOL

Well it is alantas first SB trip with this team and coaches, and bill is a SB vet, that right away gives them a edge.
They just have to figure out how to defense them.
