Super Bowl 51 rematch tonight - Pats/Falcons (GAME THREAD)

ESPN is calling this game “Ryan’s Revenge”. Both teams are significantly worse than they were last year. I find it extremely funny/ironic that the Falcons blew a 17-0 lead last week to the Dolphins, so they are wearing that stink coming into this game where the lost he Super Bowl in the most epic fashion in the history of sports. Choking HAS to be in their heads, as it is engrained into the Falcons culture. Both teams are notorious rivals of the Panthers, but today “we are all Patriots.”

Prediction:

Falcons 21

Patriots 20

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then with :02 left on the clock, Stephen Gostkowski kicks a field goal. 

Falcons 21

Patriots 23

I'm hoping that the Pats feel the prime time rematch pressure enough to really dial it up, but they plan like crazy regardless. I'd like to see BB and his coordinators reveal Falcons weaknesses that we can exploit in our upcoming games. Definitely will be fun to watch.

A falcons loss here would be huge not only giving us an additional game lead on the divison, but i think mentally after last weeks collapse at home, a loss tonight to the Pats would be detrimental to the falcons.  

That is all and good but what about the Saints the way they are playing now. I hope it don't turn out like this

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
