Falcons clearly the best O, rest are all really good. Patriots the only team with a good D. Steelers are average, Pack and Falcons blow

This has to be the best collective group of offenses we've ever seen from four teams on championship weekend.

They are all awesome. I'd put Green Bay last, because they rely on Rodgers so much. If he has a bad game (which seems impossible right now), they will get crushed. Green Bay is easily the least talented of the four offenses, and has the worst running game.

Probably Atlanta and Pittsburgh top two, in whatever order.

The only ranking that's clear is the Pats having the best defense.

On offense it's a bit tricky. Hell you can make an argument for the Pats having the worst O of the bunch.

I think you can make the argument that Pittsburgh is playing better defense than New England right now.

It's slightly above average, but they are great in the red zone.

They do have a better defense than Atlanta and Green Bay for sure, though.

That's true. While the Steelers might not have the most high powered offense they are the most balanced and are more likely to score than the rest if their QB is having a off night

Steelers have had trouble in the redzone lately. Think they need to give it to Bell more down there.

Atlanta has a great running game, too. We've seen plenty of games over recent years where the Pats take the load off of Brady's shoulders and pound the running game with guys like Blount or whoever the frick destroyed the Colts three years ago.

Green Bay can't do that like the other three teams can.

Falcons D blows?

Held Seattle to 13 till about 6 minutes left in the 4th.

Since their bye they've given up 19, 29, 14, 13, 16 and 32 points. The Saints scored 19 in the 4th Q after the Falcons had let up.

34 sacks. 22 TO. 5 Def TDs.

They're in a rhythm now, offensively and defensively.

Falcons D will give up yards and points, but they're young, fast and aggressive and usually can come up with a turnover or two a game. With the way the offense has been playing, they should only need 2-3 stops against the Packers. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen.

They gave up the sixth most points in the league. And awesome, Packers only gave up 10 to the Seahawks and gave up less points in their final six games than the Falcons while forcing almost as much turnovers

It's going to be a shoot out, but the Falcons are at home. Not sure if the Packers can go blow for blow for sixty minutes on the road

Packers had a 10% chance of making the playoffs by the end of November, but somehow they were able to run the table and here we are. Both teams have been hot as of late, although the Packers have essentially been playing in playoff games since week 11. All I'm saying is give credit where credit is due or you're gonna be even more butthurt about the outcome of the game going into it with misleading information.

Falcons have only given up 20 points per game since the bye week with a good chunk of those points coming in garbage time. While the offense has averaged around 36 points and all the games expect for the KC loss and technically the Saints game have been blow outs

However true, if Rodgers continues at this pace, does it really matter?
