Falcons have one of the best offensive lines, right behind Dallas & Green Bay. Their offense is going to score on anyone.

If you switched up the schedules, Carolina would've probably gone 14-2 playing Denver's schedule and Denver would've gone 12-4 playing Carolina's schedule.

While I understand what you are saying about divisional games and agree to an extent, to throw them out completely is equally as bad. Context is the most important thing. And in this context with Carolina going for the undefeated record and considering how weak ATL really was this year, IMO there is NO WAY they should have lost that game if they truly were that great. Divisional or not, the GREAT teams find ways to win that game. I'd be more agreeable to your argument if this was an isolated case, but CAR offense has under performed (relative to the juggernaut people seem to think they are now) on the road the entire season against crap teams. They are a different team at home vs. away (as most are). Dallas held them to 3 FGs on offense. The HT deficit was only large because of a rusty Tony Romo trying to do too much. Manning won't OTOH, Broncos have been the same pretty much everywhere, less than mediocre on offense and very strong on defense. That's been there recipe for winning this year and I don't think CAR's offense is good enough to change that. (Of course, this is just my POV) ATL wasn't that weak this year. They were in every game (almost every loss was 1-3 points besides the first Panthers blowout). Panthers beat Atlanta 38-0 just 2 weeks prior and they came into that game thinking they had it in the bag (taking their opponent lightly). Julio Jones had 180 yards that game and no other receiver (not even Antonio Brown) will have that many yards against Josh Norman. Matt Ryan played the game of the season making crazy throws in tight windows that Peyton Manning cannot make anymore. Atlanta had the perfect Defense too. They had 8 in the box and covered all the gaps and rushing lanes so Cam couldn't run. And the secondary won their one on one matchups against Greg Olsen and the Panthers receivers. That was Atlanta's Superbowl and they played like it. |

IMO I just don't see an angle to take the lions, keep there jobs, trust me boss, if there changes going to be made on the roster or coaching its going to happen regardless of how they end the season. Cardinals had two pick sixes and short field from the turnovers. Cardinals offense really didn't do much. It will depend on which ATL team shows up, the one that went up to Philly / San Diego and dominated or the one that played it safe (vanilla, no blitzes or anything) against Carolina. I think ATL's gonna win but if they play it vanilla (they usually keep the exotic stuff for good QB's like Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Eli who all had multiple INT's) then they should win in a close game. If they come out with the looks they did against those elite QB's then they should win by a wide margin.

Once again, for people who are unaware, GB game against NY was an unimportant game or them. After beating Det the week before, they were due for a huge letdown as the season was in their hands from here on out. It doesnt make sense to those who dislike my threads, dislike GB...but if people really think GB gave an effort so be it. But, if you think GB kicking a fg 4th and 2 from the 38, and 4th and a chain link from the 10 in the 1st half is trying to win the game, then you have no idea about GB football.
Everybody talks GB is overrated all because they lost the first game last year in the playoffs. They won the superbowl, then won 15 games. They had 4 weeks off before playing a meaningful game, including 3 weeks of non-game action for the starters. It was awful for a team with a system like GB, and they laid an egg against NY. They have 4 losses this year, 3 on the road, all 4 of which are playoff teams. If that is overrated, then WOW. People say GB is awful on defense. They are 9th in points allowed. Take away the robbery TD against Sea and they are 7th. Not bad for an awful defense. They are getting healthier and better every week, inclduing a run game. Same exact run the year they won it all. If people say they are not worried about playing GB in the playoffs then good for them. i bet you their team is Actually it's just 1 regular season home game was against GB, the other 3 are (Broncos in his rookie season and Saints twice). GB is pretty good but the tough teams they faced this year (49ers, Giants, Texans, Colts, Seahawks) they all have losses to except for Texans. Falcons will most likely win their division round game against the NFC East champion (went 4-0 against NFC East this year) or wild card team so they're most likely not gonna be one & done. However, we will have to wait & see but I think this Falcons team is way different compared to the past and it's because of the new OC & DC who aren't running vanilla schemes.

Who knows, maybe it's their year. Peyton Manning first 3 playoff games: 0-3 45.2% completion, 62.3 QB Rating 53.1% completion, 82.0 QB Rating 45.2% completion, 137 yards, 0TD, 2INT, 31.2 QB Rating He can't win when it counts... then what happened? I envision the same thing happening for Matt Ryan starting this year. Atlanta offense is good with 3 top weapons (Julio, Roddy, and Tony Gonzalez). Ryan is playing like an MVP but the biggest reason for the Falcons success is their defense under Mike Nolan.
Combined stats of the 3 TOP QB's Falcons faced this year at home (Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Eli Manning) : 65 Completions 112 Attempts 743 Yards 58% Completions 6.63 YPA 1 TD 10 INT 43.86 Passer Rating Falcons are #4 in the league in Scoring Defense, they will be a tough out for anyone especially playing in the Georgia Dome where Matt Ryan has the highest winning % for a starting QB in NFL history. |

Lowest scoring output for NO in years (13 points). Broke Brees 54 consecutive game TD streak. Brees highest INT game of his career (5), and he had his 3rd lowest QB Rating game of his career. The Falcons defense impressed me.

Ryan also threw 5 INT's against the Cardinals a few weeks back but Falcons actually pulled out that win.

Real sweet and all that the first guy in this thread saying theure superbowl bound is named ATLsomething. Only people in atlanta think this team is for real. Everyone else is just waiting for them to lose a home playoff game, only question is will it be the opening game or the Nfccg. Falcons are pretenders Peyton Manning won 0 playoff games his first 3 trips to the playoffs, same as Matt Ryan and Manning played even worse than Ryan has in his first 3 playoff games. This team is going to turn around just like the Colts / Manning did. People overlook the coordinator changes, last year Mularkey & Brian Van Gorder gave vanilla and generic schemes. The new ATL coordinators Koetter & Mike Nolan are anything but vanilla and Nolan has gave all sorts of different looks on defense. Falcons are 7th in PPG offense, 5th in PPG defense, that's the mark of a good team.
