Official pats/falcons SB smack talk thread

From Week 7 on, they scored 341 points. That's 16th most all-time from Week 7 until the end of the season. 50 points fewer than the 1998 Vikings. So what are you talking about?

Most efficient in history by advanced metrics.

I hope the Falcons win, but I think the patriots win again. I wonder how they will cheat this time around.

Don't worry, we'll figure out a way.

What advanced metrics?

Thanks for saying what I was thinking. I thought it was me.

hopefully someone can clear it up because it makes no sense to me

right over my head

It's from dragon ball z.

Got it... still makes no sense to me, but whatever.

I guess the rest of the NFL bowing to the dragon z god who is the Falcons??? That's my rough take after staring at it for 5 minutes.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Sure and neither does previous years results. You win games with talent and Atlanta has more of it. That said I think it'll come down to whoever has the ball last

I agree Atlanta has more offensive talent, but not defense... And more importantly, NE has Belichick. That TRUMP'S all in my opinion.

How do you stop all those offensive weapons? Cut the head off the snake. BB will find a way to get to Ryan.

Disclaimer - I hope Atlanta wins

Well that's about 4 minutes and 55 seconds longer than I starred at it so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Atlanta has scored on nearly 60% of their possessions in that time frame. Best in history. It's been better than that in the playoffs. So if there are 10 possessions in the SB Atlanta is going to score on 6 or 7 of them and that's just reality. Frankly it'd be a higher % than that but they've been ahead by so much they haven't needed to score ( see the kneel down at the Seattle 1 or their last possession yesterday )

I hope they blitz but I fount they will. Yes if the DL can get pressure that'll help but no one has really done so since the middle of the season and the Pats pass rush is average at best. We shall see

Ok, fair point. But I would point out that the Steelers, by this metric, were pretty damn proficient in their game against the Chiefs. 6 FGs for a whopping 18 points.

A better metric is Red Zone efficiency. How many points do you score/give up from the red zone.

Those aren't really advanced stats. Either way though, your scoring% doesn't matter as much as the total points scored right? And they aren't up there in points scored.

Sure. That's fair. If Atlanta scores a TD and kicks 6 FGS then they'll lose. I'm really not trying to be a dick. New England can absolutely beat Atlanta. But if they do it will be because they scored mid 30s. It's naive to think NE is going to stifle Atlanta. Just not gonna happen

PPP is 3Rd best in history as well ( points per possession)

Not to jump on the Patriots band wagon (I still hate them Sum Bitches) and give you crap and support the Pats, but this is what happened the 1st time the Patriots went to the SuperBowl against the what was considered to be the best offense in football.....

Just sayin

I'm aware. This may be blasphemous but right now this offense in Atlanta is better than that STL offense and those Pats team had HOFers on D. This one does not.

They may have scored the same amount of points as the Rams but if you show me anyone who wouldn't take Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Kurt Warner over Julio Jones and a fantasy football freak and I will show you a dumbass.

The 2013 Broncos are still the best offense in the history of the game.
