I think an Atlanta win is very realistic.

Flynn??

you meant "Ryan", I'm guessing??

 

[Mingo]

Flynn??

Yes - at least the second time I did that. In the end, it doesn't matter - we Irish are all related.

 

[MileHigh64]

Winner - Atlanta Falcons
MVP - Matt Ryan
Final score - 28-27
Bold prediction - Gostkowski misses an extra point, costing NE the game.

Okay, I almost want the Pats to win just for the whitehouse trip next year, and the congratulatory call (or tweet).

Legarette Blount

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say if Blount was playing for Atlanta, you'd be taking Falcons . I do like Blount though and he has as good a shot at mvp as any of them.

I just think new england is gonna give him a good bit of work in the 2nd half, play keepaway from the falcons' offense. Given that Atlanta has some smaller guys in the front 7, I see Blount tearing it up out there, especially once Atlanta's D starts getting winded

So there's no affection for the former Steelers riding on that guess

ummmmm no, lol

 

[SpiritOf77]

Winner - Falcons
MVP - Julio Jones
Final score - 31-27
Bold prediction - the game won't be close until the 4th quarter

 

[cdumler7]

I would love to see the Falcons win so will go with them.
MVP--Devonta Freeman
Final Score--31-24
Bold Prediction--Freeman scores 3 rushing TD's in this game (NE only gave up 6 the entire season for the lowest total of the year).

I hope it is:
Winner - Atlanta
MVP - Matt Ryan
Final score - 35 - 31
Bold prediction - Atlanta scores a TD with less then a minute to go in the game, and Brady is unable to lead a come back.

Likely it will be:
Winner - New England
MVP - Tom Brady
Final score - 31 - 24
Bold prediction - Atlanta doesn't score in the 1st quarter.

I hate New England. Win or lose I hope Denver gets their D right and ruins their season next year by beating up Brady like they did Rogers last year. I believe the punishment Rogers took in Denver lead to their skid, and Rogers wasn't the same most of the year. No Jordy Nelson played a part in that too.

I was really hoping our 20 hit beating on him in the AFC Championship game last year would derail him a bit this year. I think the difference is though that ended their season and he had a long time to heal and forget about it. For Rodgers he had to go out and play the next week and it was easy to see he was for the first time in a long time questioning what he was doing on the field. Teams started playing them a bit differently and it caused some issues for him until he could get some things figured out.

I'm still baffled by the fact that teams don't mix in a lot of what we did with a lot of what Houston did this year in the playoffs against Brady and company. We worked hard to drop about 5 guys into the quick zone spots that Brady loves to hit. This caused him to have to double clutch the football and when he has to hold onto the football longer that 2.5 seconds he is not a very good QB. The other thing we did was send some of our best rushers up the middle to attack the weaker part of their OL and get pressure on Brady up the middle. The 2 lowest scores of the season for the Patriots once Brady came back were against teams that did some of that and forced Brady to either rush throws or just not have his best timing. Too bad both of those teams had terrible offenses otherwise the outcome could have been different.

Some teams just didn't have the personnel to implement that strategy vs Brady and Pats. Houston did. Would of prob won that game if they had a decent QB and offense that day.
