I am surprised that so many people don't think the Rams stand a chance against the Falcons Defense. Willie MaGinnest is the worst. He keeps harping on the Falcons linebackers being too fast to run on. You would think they didn't lose a game all season. He says the Vikings fast linebackers shut Gurley down and so will Atlanta's.
Jeff Saturday went up to the board to pick sides. He gave QB and receivers to Atlanta, RB, Special teams, and pass rushers to the Rams. MaGnets looked dumbfounded. He said Atlanta has two running backs, how can you give running back to the Rams? What a tool.
I could see giving Atlanta the edge, because the Rams are young and inexperienced, but the line of thinking that the Rams don't stand a chance and Atlanta having an elite defense is disturbing. I wasn't worried about their defense at all.
