Two teams duel out today for a Superb Owl Chance

Both teams have good offenses, crappy defenses.

Like seriously, no team this year has a stout defense in the playoffs this year. Like for real. The fuggin Patriots would probably be considered as having the best defense in the playoffs this year. Like how does that happen? /rant

Anyhow, who ya got?

I'm taking a step back from my personal hatred for the Falcons as a fan. I enjoy the game a lot better if I just watch the gameplay with no personal bias. 

That having been said, Atlanta has been known to be soft for a few years now. Not this year. 

Atlanta jumps on top of Green Bay, exposes their injury isssues and the Packers come back to earth. Crowd is going to be rocking too.

Falcons- 28

GB- 24

I have the Steelers upsetting the Pats

Pitts D can & will stifle NE. Their showing against Houston last week was very umimpressive & I believe you're only good as your last game.

27 - 24 Pittsburg

Falcons pummel GB .. on paper our D isn't good due to garbage points/yards but I know better. We aren't Dallas, more team speed on D, better tackling & more physical. We'll hit the limping Pack until they fold, garbage time score makes it look decent.

34 - 24 Falcons

I can see that happening. Falcons defense is better than GB for sure, but they're mediocre in my eyes. 

Which is like top tier in this year's playoffs.

I believe the Cowboys had a true better defense than the Falcons, which is where I'm holdin my horses. Will be interesting to watch and see how Green Bay reacts.

As far as Steelers upsetting the Patriots, it's a possibility. I think they got a better offense than the Pats, but their defense is to be desired.

Man no ones defense looks good or adequate to a Panther, Denver, Seahawk or Texans fan so I understand. Everybody can't have superstars on D. Lol.

As much as I want the Falcons to lose, I just do not see them losing in their dome. Falcons defense are at least average, while the Packers D is just too riddled with injuries in that secondary to stop that Falcons potent offense.

I also got the Pats. I just can't bet against Brady with the #1 scoring defense backing him up in Gillette stadium.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
