It’s not fair. Atlanta has only been in 1 Super Bowl and hasn’t won any. So they should just declare the Falcons as SB Champs.

I’ve been an almost lifelong Giants fan, dating back to when they played at Yankee Stadium. They made a playoff run this year; I wasn’t watching or listening.

I agree with you.

We should start by preaching it to Rush.

"yeah, the rest of the league is bad, but I'm only watching because 'my team' is playing"...

Congress is screwed up and needs to be thrown out -- buyt my Congressman is GREAT!

Same logic,

You ought to check the website for the New York Post and click on Phil Mushnick's column. He runs Monday, Friday, and Sunday. I agree with Phil 98 percent of the time, and he's very good on the subject of the thug culture.

I'm beginning to feel like Wile E. Coyote regarding any possible predictions. Out of a lot of sort of possible starting wide receivers here is what it looks like now:

Julio Jones - Q
Jordy Nelson - Q
Davante Adams - Q
Taylor Gabriel - Q
Chris Hogan - Q
Geronimo Allison - Q
Malcom Mitchell - Q
Danny Amendola - Q

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

To have a chance to win as the visiting team, one thing is for certain: Pressure on the QB is essential!

Predictions & Pass/Rush Match-Up Analysis here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3515767/posts

and here:

https://sonsofconstitutionalliberty.com/post-season-predictions-passrush-match-up-analysis-conference-championship-weekend/

and here:

Rankings are from the final regular season stats. Numbers represent overall and specific NFL rankings by points except pass/run ranked by yardage. Depending on who has the ball, compare offense/defense strengths in pass/run yardage to anticipate best game plan.

Sunday, Jan 22, 1:05 PM MT FOX
#8 Green Bay at #2 Atlanta

Atlanta Offense #1:...1 Pass 5 Run
GB Defense #21:.....32 Pass 14 Run

GB Offense #4:..........15 Pass 7 Run
Atlanta Defense #27:...11 Pass 26 Run

We’ve got the #1 and # 4 best offenses in the NFL against the #21 and #27 defenses. Although I prefer a better offense/defense match-up than that, Rogers’ cool presence and incredible performance is compelling and you’ve gotta like the guy. This will be a shoot-out. Some say the winner will be whoever has the ball last. Could be.

When Atlanta has the ball: Atlanta’s top passing offense will go against the worst pass defense in the NFL. Atlanta has a strong running game but Atlanta should mostly pass which I think they usually do anyway. I’ll be surprised if Atlanta doesn’t score every time they have the ball.

When GB has the ball: Roger’s incredible second-half streak makes the season-long #15 pass ranking too low. Atlanta has a respectable #11 pass defense, but Rogers has been shredding good defenses pretty much every week. GB also has a strong running game which should do well against Atlanta’s #26 run defense.

Will Ryan, Kyle Shanahan – Atlanta’s offensive coordinator extraordinaire, and Atlanta’s top offense in the NFL be able to outscore the seemingly unstoppable One-Man Wrecking Crew, Rogers? Will the last one with the ball win? It may come down to turnovers or maybe even special teams – who has the ball more often and in better field position. Atlanta looks like it has a better chance of intercepting Rogers than GB intercepting Ryan. Wonder how much scoring will happen in the last two minutes. Projected Winner: Atlanta

….

Sunday, Jan 22, 4:49 PM MT CBS
#5 Pittsburgh vs. #1 New England

NE Offense #3:................3 Pass 25 Run
Pittsburgh Defense #10:...15 Pass 19 Run

Pittsburgh Offense #10:...13 Pass 8 Run
NE Defense #1:...............8 Pass 8 Run

NE is ranked #1 in the NFL (net points). They do it or close to it every year. Not sure how. Brady is a great QB and cool under pressure with great receivers. Coach Belichick is enigmatic. Anyway, the Patriots obviously have a great organization and look unstoppable this year – again.

When NE has the ball: Don’t really see how Pittsburgh’s so-so defense can stop NE’s top-tier passing game though they should slow down NE’s running game. NE should strike quickly and often.

When Pittsburgh has the ball: Pittsburgh has a respectable running game and Roethlisberger is still dangerous. But they are going against the best defense (points) in the NFL. They’ll score but will also probably turn the ball over.

This could also turn into a shoot-out of sorts between Brady and Roethlisberger but with a probable positive turnover differential and all their weapons, NE should win going away. Projected Winner: New England
