That would make it a number 1 defense vs number 1 offense superbowl but the Patriots only got number 1 defense because most of the defenses didn't do too well thus season. So I would choose the falcons to win.
Also can't rule out the Packers, Aaron rodgers wasn't kidding when he said the Packers would win out.
Also if the falcons can draft good on defense this off season, they'll be loaded for next season.

le'veon bell is a beast running back that is a nightmare for any defense. If the steelers can convert those field goals to touchdowns next week, the steelers have a great shot at beating the Patriots and possibly winning the superbowl.
mind blown by both games yesterday...
and terribly disappointed by both results...
IMHO, none of the potential super bowl match ups are the least bit interesting.

Steelers have to be able to find the end zone if they are going to have any chance of beating the Patriots.
Travis Kelce was in line to win the Bonehead of the Week Award until AB decided it was time to go on Facebook. What a pinhead.
I love AB to I cant believe he did that.
[doublepost=1484673066][/doublepost]GB VS STEELER Superbowl. Rematch
[doublepost=1484673109][/doublepost]Did you guys know the cowboys have 2 playoff victories in the last 21 years. Wild.
I sure hope so anyone but the Patsies and their annoying fans "waaah Godell hates us and we want to stick to him waaah"
I'm a seahawks fan rooting for the falcons, maybe they'll get "superbowl hangover" next year and make it easier for the hawks next year.
Kinda excited for next season. Earl Thomas will be back on defense and Baldwin, lockett, Richardson, and cj procise should make an interesting offense.

Agreed. #anyonebutthepatriots
So do the Broncos. Our offensive problems were the result of a bad line, not a bad QB.
Very happy that Tom Cable removed his name from consideration of the 49ers HC job. This must mean that Shanahan is going to consider the HC position...Hopefully the Niners get Brian Gutenkust as GM.
It'll be a long ways to get this franchise respectable, but if everything falls into place, it'll be a step in the right direction.
Side note, I will LOL if Shanahan declines the 49ers job.

Agreed. Bell has torched both the Raiders and the Chiefs so far in the playoffs.
Yeah we do but I got a feeling britt, ifedi, and fant will still be starting next year. Hopefully everybody else is replaced though. Hard to watch a great QB go to waste because the front office wants to develop an oline As cheap as possible when you got 30 million free cap space...
Jed York more so wanted to find a HC that would mesh well with the GM. So based on reports, the remaining GM candidates, Wolf, Gutenkust, and McDonough, will be chosen based on the interest of working with Shanahan side by side.
You can't really take Jed York's word for anything. Especially with the way he handled Harbaugh and opted to fire him for Tomsula and Kelly. He has the chance to make things right and rebuild this franchise...But he needs to stick to his word.
My hope is for a Gutenkust/Shanahan combo. Grab some key needs in the draft and use up that cap space to improve both sides of the ball.
But we'll wait and see.
Happy that Tom Cable withdrew his name from consideration. That has to mean that there is some form of agreement from both parties.
Would love to see a Steelers/Packers Superbowl. I'm a Steelers fan; girlfriend is a Packers fan. Only this time, I would hope the Steelers win.
Regardless, Pittsburgh needs to clean up the offense some to get some TDs on the board when they travel to Foxboro. No way FGs are going to do it again the Patriots. I hate playing the Patriots. It's rarely a good outcome for Steelers fans.
