The Best Way the Falcons Can Beat The Patriots

The Atlanta Falcons have the best offense in the NFL, led by an MVP-caliber quarterback in Matt Ryan. But to get the franchise’s first Super Bowl victory they are going to have to beat the New England Patriots, owners of the league’s top defense.

Here are the three keys for how the Falcons can execute the perfect game plan to win Super Bowl LI.

The easiest way to dictate game flow is to snag an early lead, and the Falcons showed an ability to do that during the season, including the playoffs. They led the league with the most opening drives with a score (11) and have scored on their opening drive in eight straight games, including the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers.

[Here is the perfect Super Bowl LI plan for the New England Patriots]

When leading, Atlanta has been able to maintain a 50/50 split between running and passing plays but sees that ratio move to 40/60 when trailing. Coach Bill Belichick is a football genius on a regular day, but give him insight into a team’s play-calling tendencies and his ability to game plan becomes that much harder to overcome.

-A fast start will also put pressure on Tom Brady … not from the scoreboard but from the pass rush. Just as the Patriots will be better able to anticipate the Falcons’ play-calls if the Falcons are trailing, should the Pats need to pass often the Falcons’ pass-rushers will be able to chase Brady without fear of a handoff. And pass-rushing pressure has been the single biggest factor in tripping up Brady throughout his stellar career. Speaking of …

Falcons And Patriots Super Bowl

-The New England Patriots will compete in their N.F.L.-record ninth Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 5 in Houston, matched up against Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons’ top-ranked offense. Here’s what to look for in Super Bowl LI:

- Tom Brady set a personal postseason record with 384 passing yards in the Patriot AFC Championship, but he may have even more opportunities against a Falcons defense that had been weak all season until it delivered a shockingly-effective performance against Green Bay in the N.F.C. championship game.

-The Falcons were able to pummel an injury-depleted Packers defense, but will have a lot more trouble against a New England defense that traded away two of its biggest stars and seemed to only get better, holding opponents to an N.F.L.-low 15.4 points a game this season

- Both teams will be looking for more from their running games. The Patriots managed just 57 rushing yards and the Falcons, despite a pair of highly-regarded running backs in Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman, had just 101, with 23 coming from quarterback Matt Ryan.

-While Brady and Ryan may not provide much bulletin-board material in the weeks leading up to the game, fans and journalists can look forward to extended access with the outspoken Martellus Bennett of the Patriots. And people may finally get a chance to appreciate just how great Julio Jones of the Falcons has been throughout his career.

NBA All Star Game Roster 2017

The Eastern Conference All-Star reserves includes a mix of familiar faces and fresh new blood. Mainstays such as John Wall,  Kyle Lowrey , and Paul George  are on here, but so are newcomers Isahia Thomas and Kemba Walker. It’s a fun new mix, although not a fresh as the four new All-Star starters making up the starting five next to LeBron James.


The big question was whether Embiid had done enough to earn an All-Star bid despite the 76er's record and his own minutes limit. When he plays, Philadelphia has a positive scoring differential. When he doesn’t, they are awful. In spite of a late surge, the coaches left Embiid off the team.


It was also unclear if any of the East’s sparkling point guards would be left off the roster. In the end, the coaches rewarded all of them, adding Wall, Lowry, Thomas, and Walker to the mix.



Here are the reserves for the Eastern Conference All-Star team. They will join starters Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, and Giannis Antetkounmpo. The game will take place on Feb. 19

                                                              Isaiah Thomas

The 5’9 Thomas is leaping to heights the league hasn’t seen since Allen Iverson revolutionized basketball. His 28.7 points per game rank third best in the NBA behind just Anthony  Davis and Russell Westbrook, and he’s doing it from all areas of the floor. IT4’s nailing 38.5 percent of his 7.9 three-point attempts per game and nailing 91 percent of his free throws. And it’s Thomas’ calculated aggression that has propelled his Celtics (26-16) into the East’s upper echelon.

This year the number draft pick for college football was number 375 just a year ago. He is from California and is also a pass rusher. He is going to be on UCLA. Jaelen says that he remembers when he was watching on ESPN and he had NR next to his name and then he jumped all the way up to number 3. He says "That was really mind blowing". He also says "I still don't think i'm that good to be honest I don't see why i'm a five star,to be honest with you. They tell me and it makes sense, but it still baffles me. Growing up and watching these (recruits), they're gods to a high school kid. To be in that company now doesn't register in my mind".  Philips was good as a junior yet took a huge leap as a senior. With a With a 6'5, 250-pound frame, he has the ideal size teams are looking for in a defensive end. Further, he has rare burst and bend to go along with that size. 2017 is a great year for offensive tackles, but Phillips consistently beat them during every all-star event he attended. Phillips also has a great motor, and is a top student. He is one of the surest bets in the class of 2017.He's part of a UCLA class that still needs a lot of filling out, but is pretty heavy on star power, with another five-star in California CB Darnay Holmes. With a strong close, the Bruins should finish with a top-20 class. Phillips should have plenty of chances to shine as a freshman, with UCLA's line losing top rusher Takkarist McKinley and top defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes.

San Diego Chargers Move To Los Angeles

This next  year the Chargers will be moving to LA the Chargers fans are heartbroken and mad when the chargers decided to move to LA. Some fans even went as far as laser removing tattoos.

I think Decision to move to LA is going to be a bad decision and a good one because they are going to lose so many fans. The chargers chairman is the one who made the decision to move since he was the one who wanted move the chargers to LA last year. Some fans even said "I just took my Charger gear off and put it in the pile with the rest of them like the garbage that the Chargers are." Some others said I've spent a lot of money. I'm a season ticket holder. And it just makes me sad that I can't be anymore. The reason I think it would be a good decision because season tickets are sold out. Also the chargers are getting more profit off of the new gear which people would probably love to buy because it will have the new chargers logo. Also because the season tickets being sold out will make them so much profit. I just think that fans would like to experience the new stadium. Also I think more fans would come because of the new stadium with lots of new things in it.
