Rise Up! Watch the Falcons here in ATL. They're for real. They do however piss me off as we hire Fox and they grabbed the best of the bunch - Dan Quinn. What a f'd up front office we have. I like Pace, but this was a bad move.
Quinn is who I really wanted also. Having said that, I really had no idea whether or not he was going to be good for sure. I was just going by what I have seen him do in Seattle and I think the did some really good work before that. I thought he would be a good bet and was hoping we would go there.
I have no inside information (obviously), but I think Pace was pretty well pushed into being paired with a seasoned coach so as to help his development. Not sure, but JMO. I don't think they wanted him to go with a first time HC.
I never really watched any Falcons games but was quite impressed with that team as a whole. They are a well balanced team that can get points numerous ways. BUT NE has the Shea factor!!!! I want ATL to win for the NFC but Brady and co. just seem to know what plays to call and when.
ATL is a great home team, and they have a very good OC. I expect their defense will get exposed. GB with Jordy hurt is easier to D, as most of their wr can't beat press. Jordy, you just check his ribs until he can't factor. Very easy to land elbows on jumping guys or punch at los.
NE will present more match up problems.
I want ATL to win, I do think this will be a good game as both teams don't need to panic when they are down multiple scores. ATL will need to contain inside receivers.
I hope Atlanta wins a close high scoring game but I think NE will win a close high scoring game. It could be one of those "the team with the ball last wins" games, which would be pretty cool as well.

That is kind of the way I envisioend it when I spun up this thread BJ, kind of each offense marching up and down the field with NE getting an extra field goal. I predict Atl get 4 TD's and 1 FG and NE will score 4 TD's and 2 FG's with one coming in the final 2 minutes to pull out the victory.
Yeah, honestly MB I just hope it's a close high scoring, entertaining game. I'm rooting against NE more than I'm rooting for Atl. The game needs to be better than the commercials! lol
I'd be fine with either team winning to be honest. I can't get too excited about either team either. With the Bears being so bad, it's a feeling of total irrelevance. I'll watch the game and I always enjoy watching good football at any level. But it's not our team.
