Dirty Birds for the win!!!!!
Coaches - Bill Belichick been to the Superbowl.
QB - Brady has been to the Superbowl.
WR - Brady has Edelman, Hogan, Amendola, Floyd, and Mitchell. All of them can catch, although I am a little leery of Floyd.
WR - Ryan has Jones, Sanu, and Gabriel.
RB - I look at this as roughly equal, with an edge to Atlanta with Freeman and Coleman. As in all the games, the team which gains points early begins nullifying the value of the running backs. I think that New England will gain points early, and is more likely to limit the value of Freeman and Coleman than Atlanta is to nullify Lewis and Blount.
RB - Patriots have Lewis and Blount. Both can gain ground.
TE - Even with possible foot issues, I give Bennett the edge over Toilolo. Bennett boosts Brady's passing possibilities more than Toilolo boosts Ryan's.
DEF - I think New England's defense has a better chance of shutting down Jones, than Atlanta's defense of shutting down the Patriot's multiple receivers.
The article below perfectly illustrates why NEW >>MUST<< win the Super Bowl.
This year’s Super Bowl is WAAAAAYYYYYYY more than a football game. It’s a political statement of epic proportions. And that’s not hyperbole.
The columnist that wrote the article is a confirmed, openly flaming poof. No need to wonder what side of the political spectrum “he’s” on.
Tomorrow, Trump will sign executive orders “ No Leftist Left Unslapped”
LOVE IT!!!
It’s also part of a new Dept. of Education program....
That’s a good use of tax dollar$!
It includes an addition that if Senators McCain, Flake or Graham complain, they get slapped too.
You are ON FIRE!!!
I should be King...... : )
Thanks for the input. Your analysis tells me you know the Patriots rather well but the Falcons not so much. This is quite understandable as Atlanta doesn’t get a lot of national coverage. They will get a lot during and following the Super Bowl.
One thing to keep in mind. The Pats had a rather easy schedule (29th), Falcons much more difficult (7th).
Enjoy the game!
Yes. I agree.

Go Pats!
Those Capri pants that she wore... (1) showed she had the cutest and all-round sexiest hind end around--
All the other ways she dressed... (2) just melted my heart and put my teenage hormones in hyper-drive.
And, boy, oh, boy-- Could she dance... (3) sexy!
And in later years as an older single woman in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" she still--
Had... (4) it!
In all my years on the Loony Left Coast at different times from the 1970s through the 90s, I never actually met Mary Tyler Moore, yet I recall seeing her several times at eateries here and there around La La Land.
Once when I was out driving the afternoon of the 1973 Emmy Awards as a limo pulled up beside me at a traffic light and suddenly I hear the voice of Mary Richards saying, "I don't know why he would think that.."
I turn my head to the left and I see the rear passenger side window rolling up beside me and through it I see Mary Tyler Moore sitting on the far side of the back seat, dressed to the nines, her hair done up very sexy and taking a drink from a Coca-Cola bottle. The window rolls up and it being heavily tinted, I could not see any more. (No pun intended) The limo then pulled away and I hear a horn behind me blaring at me for not moving with the traffic.
Later I was watching the Emmy Awards-- Yes, back then they were lots of fun to watch.
And she won... (5) wearing the exact dress I saw her wearing in the back of that limo--
That is the closest I every got to her yet I always enjoyed her acting, she was very much comic gold in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and her own "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." And in somehow true 'Hollywood Fashion' that the only time she got nominated for the 'Best Actress' Academy Award for her role in the drama film Ordinary People, where she played against type the cold fish mother who puts maintaining her composure above the real needs of her family.
So, to quote Alan Swan from My Favorite Year: 'On his death bed, Kean was asked how he felt. He answered, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."'
No one really knows if the English actor Edmund Kean every really said that, he died in 1833-- But whoever said it, it surely fits.
So Goodbye Mary, we hardly knew ya, but what we knew, what we saw, we loved.

Thank you for sharing that limo story.
Sorry she is gone, but Bendy, this gal was a women’s libber, an alcoholic, and really bad news. Not sexy. Contentious. Problematic. Boy, that was a close one Bro. To think you might have been THAT close to getting hitched to her. Whew!
Good story, thanks
