It's amazing to me that with every new game people think this is the team that's going to stop Atlanta. This will be a great game imo but the NE D has NO CHANCE to stop Atlantas offense. Elite offenses, historically elite, can only be stopped by ELITE defenses. New England has a good defense maybe even very good but that is irrelevant. They can't stop Atlanta. If New England wins it will be because they score 35-38+. If they don't crack 30 they lose. Period.
Atlanta has a very good offense, but remember, you were playing at home vs a Seahawks defense that wasn't at full strength, and a GB defense that was ranked 31st in the league in pass coverage... Pats are 12th, Atlanta is 28th in pass defense... Pats are also 8th in total defense, Atlanta is 25th in total defense.... Who does that favor ? Tom Brady is gonna shred Atlanta's secondary... Matt Ryan is good, you guy's have some weapons, but this game in on a neutral field under the spotlight and your O is not gonna flow like it was in the Georgia dome...
