Two teams duel out today for a Superb Owl Chance

Both teams have good offenses, crappy defenses.

Like seriously, no team this year has a stout defense in the playoffs this year. Like for real. The fuggin Patriots would probably be considered as having the best defense in the playoffs this year. Like how does that happen? /rant

Anyhow, who ya got?

I'm taking a step back from my personal hatred for the Falcons as a fan. I enjoy the game a lot better if I just watch the gameplay with no personal bias. 

That having been said, Atlanta has been known to be soft for a few years now. Not this year. 

Atlanta jumps on top of Green Bay, exposes their injury isssues and the Packers come back to earth. Crowd is going to be rocking too.

Falcons- 28

GB- 24

I have the Steelers upsetting the Pats

Pitts D can & will stifle NE. Their showing against Houston last week was very umimpressive & I believe you're only good as your last game.

27 - 24 Pittsburg

Falcons pummel GB .. on paper our D isn't good due to garbage points/yards but I know better. We aren't Dallas, more team speed on D, better tackling & more physical. We'll hit the limping Pack until they fold, garbage time score makes it look decent.

34 - 24 Falcons

I can see that happening. Falcons defense is better than GB for sure, but they're mediocre in my eyes. 

Which is like top tier in this year's playoffs.

I believe the Cowboys had a true better defense than the Falcons, which is where I'm holdin my horses. Will be interesting to watch and see how Green Bay reacts.

As far as Steelers upsetting the Patriots, it's a possibility. I think they got a better offense than the Pats, but their defense is to be desired.

Man no ones defense looks good or adequate to a Panther, Denver, Seahawk or Texans fan so I understand. Everybody can't have superstars on D. Lol.

As much as I want the Falcons to lose, I just do not see them losing in their dome. Falcons defense are at least average, while the Packers D is just too riddled with injuries in that secondary to stop that Falcons potent offense.

I also got the Pats. I just can't bet against Brady with the #1 scoring defense backing him up in Gillette stadium.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
