I was just saying that great offenses have lost in the Superbowl and the best of all time scored 8. 8......8. So saying the falcons will only score 20 not some crazy prediction.

I'm a diehard fan but it's hard to get excited about your team's chances when our Coach of the Year can't win past the wild card round. Not to mention our defense has more holes than Swiss cheese and our highly touted offense also has question marks. If they're going off at 20-1 or so I'll put a little cash on it but I don't have high hopes. 22 years of not even getting past the divisional round will do that to you.

This only part of your statement that made any since.

Heh, I live in Las cruces, it's nowhere near minnesota

I predict Atlanta wins 27-20.

I dont really have a favorite in this one beyond I kind of like Julio Jones. I just want a close, exciting game, competitive until the last minutes. Of the 10 playoff games this season, the only one that was undecided until the end was GB @ DAL.

Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers have one ring each, the year where they had a great defense in the playoffs. Same thing for Eli Manning twice.

LOL, Brady sin't playing into his mid-40's. I'd put the over under at 2 more seasons for him. He doesn't strike me as the type will will keep playing after he starts gimping around the field.

ESPN expert picks. 72 picked the Patriots to win, 28 the Falcons. The vast majority think it'll be close.

I'll go with Patriots over Falcons 31-17. Hope I'm wrong.

42-38 Falcons would work for me as Dirty Bind mania sweeps the globe.

My earlier prediction doesn't look like it posted.

Falcons 31
Patriots 21

Don't be mad just because the Falcons have better logos, unis and talent than your team. I see Dak and Zeke pretty much took all the OROY votes, doesn't look like Carson Wentz got any.

Brady can essily play another 5 or 6 years. I hope he does.

Thrust into starting job on short notice, no one to throw to, rookie HC calling the shots, tougher schedule... Wentz showed more poise than anyone could've reasonably expected (I thought we'd do way worse than 7-9 before the season). Dak was better, no doubt, but it'll be interesting to see that rivalry develop over the years. I have confidence in Wentz as long as management builds around him properly.

No quarterback has ever played that long. Favre was the most durable QB ever and he didn't play into his mid-40s. It's just not realistic to expect Brady to play more than 1 or 2 more seasons.
