Official Matty Meltdown Thread: Failcons VS Packers

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.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
