    True, the offense played well vs. Seattle.....6.1 ypp. I do think Seattles defense is a completely different animal without Earl Thomas, but still the offense played well.

    If the Falcons played the Patriots 10 times, there offense would do well maybe 7 out of 10 times. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's great and can score on anyone, but in a one game sample size anything can happen. Not sure the Super Bowl is really going to answer any questions we might have about either team. Both are elite and both are worthy champions.

It's kinda just a 'blah" superbowl to me. Some title games I watch every play, others I get drunk and eat a **** load of food. This is more of a watch casually type game. I'm already tired of the Pats as it is, but matching them up with the Falcons makes it less interesting to me.

    As for the game, the Falcons have a great offense and poor defense. The Falcons are going to have to keep up, I don't see the Falcons slowing down the Pats too much.
    The Falcons defense is not poor. They improved quite a bit throughout the year. Why don't you ask Aaron Rodgers how poor they were.

    They get after the passer very well with Beasley and we all know that's the way to beat Brady. Put him on his ass 10 or more times a game either by sack or QB hurries.

    Im not intending to come here and trash the Falcons. I hope they win. BUt, the defense was poor. It played decent the past couple weeks and probably improved, but Rodgers had a decent day with most of his weapons injured and down by a million points in the first half bc the defense got torched and GB fumbled and missed a FG to get behind

    Yeahhhh this is weird.

    First time HC, and a first time GM or first time being employed by any FO at all.

    And a 6 year deal as the cherry on top.

    Holy smokes. I expect this to end poorly.

    I understand giving Shanahan the power to pick his GM. The 49ers are a dumpster fire and would likely have to give any sought after candidate that power to attract them. I can also understand Shanahan picking someone he'll certainly be able to control. However, you really need someone with experience and a steady hand to make sure things stay on track. Maybe Kyle Shanahan's going to have his dad in some kind of consulting role to be that guy.

    Yeah I get wanting a puppet, but no HC experience + no FO experience + ****ty ownership situation is not a favorable scenario.

    Yup. Iwas pretty young when they first got in and didn't take advantage of how great of a chance it was.

    You know what, **** the patriots. I was going to root for them out of spite for Goodell but **** them. Falcons all the way. Bring the title back where it belongs.... the NFC South.

    I couldn't care less about Goodell. I know he's a hack and don't need the Patriots to tell me. I'm tired of the Patriots' whole woe is me persecution act. Like Goodell's back and forth on deflategate should excuse them for what all happened.

    Here's to hoping Tom Brady gets caught snorting cocaine off of a hooker's ass tonight.
