In some sort of mental attempt to make them feel they have a chance, Atlanta Falcons fans continue to talk up their defensive backs. Stop, Tom Brady is going to tear you up.

Poor Atlanta Falcons fans. Do you even know what you are getting yourself into? Your only hope is that Matt Ryan can outperform Tom Brady.

The Patriots boast a defense that allowed the least points this season. The Falcons defense has allowed 25.4 points per game, 27th in the NFL.

Brady and the New England Patriots offense are going to tear the Atlanta Falcons secondary apart. TB12 will easily surpass 300 yards in Super Bowl LI. He may put 40 points on the board, and good luck keeping up with that against a defense that doesn’t allow big plays.

Your “Misfits” are just that. Robert Alford, Jalen Collins, Brian Poole, Keanu Neal, Ricardo Allen. They’re not good enough to beat New England. The Falcons are 27th in points allowed per game, 28th in pass yards allowed, 23rd in total tackles.

Should I go on?

In the playoffs, the Falcons’ defense has improved. Atlanta has recorded five interceptions in the two playoff games and is allowing just 20.5 points per game. That may be their peak though. The Green Bay Packers proved you can throw on Atlanta, as they did in the second half successfully in the NFC Championship Game.

Tom Brady is the greatest of all time. No one prepares for a team better than Brady and he will be ready to take advantage of every opportunity. Come Super Bowl Sunday, TB12 will know the ins and outs of Atlanta’s defense.

He will attack with the deep ball to Martellus Bennett, Chris Hogan or Malcolm Mitchell. He’ll check down to Edelman or a runningback underneath. There is no stopping the Patriots offense. Brady will attack with military precision.

Atlanta fans, brace yourself. The beat down is coming.
