Could the Falcons be toying with Belicheat?! "It appeared to be the oldest trick in the book, to leave a fake game plan behind," Falcons coach Dan Quinn said with sarcasm about Kyle Shanahan's bag and game plan being accidentally taken last night. Vaughn McClure, ESPN Staff Writer e: And if there were a book of tricks, would they steal that too?

Kalli posted:Julio Jones is also great, but apparently hates media coverage, so there's that. How many centers could you pick out of a lineup? Julio isn't a diva like the Odell's and Antonio Brown's of the world for sure, but I kinda appreciate that about him. It's true, Matt Ryan hasn't raped anyone or aligned himself to the POTUS, but Sanu and Gabriel are entertaining as gently caress on offense, and on defense there should be pretty easy story lines about all the rookies, namely Neal and Jones. Vic Beasley going from bust to NFL Sack Leader. The secondary stepping up and actually playing better without their star DB. Atlanta as a franchise not being to the Superbowl since 1998. Stories are there...the media just sucks. Instead we get leaked emails about pain killers and Backpackgate.

sean10mm posted:I think it will be extremely interesting to watch how Belichick tries to contain the Falcons offense. I almost feel like 100% selling out to stop Julio Jones is kind of a trap, because as good as he is, the offense is basically exactly as productive when he's just drawing coverage and the ball is actually going to everyone else but him. If Jones gets 200 yards and everyone else gets 200, or Jones gets 50 and everyone else gets 350, it's kind of the same thing either way. It might be that he tries to eliminate specific kinds of plays that the Falcons excel at rather than specific players executing them, if that makes any sense. I don't know either. I had good feelings about the Seattle and Green Bay games, telling people Atlanta would win by double digits. This game? I feel confident Atlanta will win the game, but it won't be nearly as easy. Also, keep in mind Atlanta is 7-0 when Jones has 60 yards or less or doesn't even play so limiting Julio isn't the deathwish it once was.

sean10mm posted:Yeah, I forgot the exact stat but that sort of thing is why I think overselling to stop Jones every play is maybe a trap. I kind of hope they double up Jones, we have had some of our best games when Julio has been blanketed. This offense is just really, really good and they can beat you so many different ways with a variety of players. It will be an interesting chess match between Bill and Kyle. As for the defense, Beasley gets majority of the sacks for sure but they apply pretty consistent pressure as a whole. Clayborn was having a good year, so his loss is really going to suck but hopefully old man Freeney has some juice left in the tank. I really think Hageman and Jarrett can be disruptive in this game. Hageman has always had the raw potential but lacked the drive...he has been playing actually very good of late and Jarrett is a good young DT. I forgot the stats, but the QB hurries and pressures on Wilson and Rodgers was pretty high, and they are mobile. I'm curious to see how they do against a statue like Brady, though he does get it out lightning quick. I don't know. This defense has held it's own against better offenses for long stretches, they just struggle to do it for a full 4 quarters. I have no doubt Brady is going to learn them some things over the course of this game, but this defense is fast, physical and they are out for blood. It is a work in progress no doubt, but there has been progress.

sean10mm posted:Brady's sack rate this year (3.4%) is substantially lower than Rodgers (5.4%), Wilson (7.0%) or Ryan (6.5%). I won't say Atlanta can't have a monster game out of nowhere, but I don't think a "sack Brady to death" game like last year's AFCCG is in the cards here. Oh no doubt, I'm not saying they are going to repeat Denver's performance last year. They don't have the talent to do so. I'm just curious to see what they do. Beasley has been primarily a spy over the past couple games and now he really gets to rush the passer. And really, even more than sacks, the more hurries and pressures you can get on a QB to disrupt his timing it can only work in your favor. Again, not saying Atlanta is going to live in New England's backfield (they won't) I'm just genuinely curious how it looks. The lack of pass rush on New England's side is big. Matt Ryan with time is not going to be good. I still kinda feel like it's just going to be a wild west shoot out and super fun to watch  And we are talking in circles because neither of us knows wtf to expect lol

It'll also be fun to watch because these teams don't turn the ball over. I kinda feel like the team that turns it over will end up losing...if they turn it over. This game really should be super entertaining.

Kalli posted:Hah, yeah. Both teams have 11 turnovers. Tied for 3rd least ever. tbh, Lewis frightens me. We have speed at LB now so it doesn't frighten me as much as it would have with other rosters but he legit scares the piss out of me. Deion Jones is fast, he outran Brandon Cooks on a Pick 6 but man I dunno...he is so freakin' elusive. weird Asian candy fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Feb 1, 2017 |

sean10mm posted:Brady played plenty of top defenses this season, and none of them were able to sack Brady to death like everybody fantasizes about doing. The Patriots are more likely to get to Ryan than the Falcons are to get to Brady - both teams have league average pass rushes, but Ryan's sack rate (6.5%) is much higher than Brady's (3.4%). I still don't think it'll be huge sack numbers that will due Brady in, it will be consistent hurries and pressures. Atlanta was the 11th best pass rushing team in the league based on this article and distance to QB measurable  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000781911/article/denver-broncos-lead-list-of-top10-pass-rushing-teams It is my understanding that Green Bay has a much better OLine than New England and they were consistently able to generate pressure on Rodgers. Seattle's line is laughable, which would explain why Atlanta was harassing Wilson every drop back. I don't think anyone is expecting there to be a 6 sack game by any team, but consistent pressure is going to go a long way. On the Atlanta side, I'd be much more concerned if Jones and Collins were still on the roster.

TBeats posted:What do Falcons fans think about the starting center having a broken leg? Welder reported there was no structural damage and it was about pain. I've also read it's a chip fracture. I've also read it's a hairline fracture. Considering he played a whole half on it vs GB, and he has reportedly looked fine in practice I'm not going to worry about it. It's the SB, and he is a former Brown. His rear end is gonna be playing.
