We're two very different sides: they're a powerful offensive unit, but they rely on the same options a lot of the time - I reckon if you can keep Sanu and Jones quiet, and get good pressure on Ryan, they're there to be beaten. We have such a diverse suite of weapons at our disposal in Edelman, Amendola, Bennett, Hogan, Mitchell, White, Blount, Lewis...if our defense can do what they've done all season (even though we've not faced a team as good as the Falcons yet), we'll have a great shot.
I'd utterly love to see us win another one, no doubt about it (it would be such a massive **** you to Goodell), but I wouldn't grudge the Falcons their first after the season they've had. Would be a great way for them to open their new stadium, by concomitantly unveiling their first banner.
