Going to be interesting to see how the pats stop the falcons rbs in the passing game. BB likes to shut down the opposing offenses biggest wep so i expect him to focus on shutting down Julio. Colemon and Freeman should have alot of openings in the passing game.
This pats offense line is amazing and Brady is going to have ALL day to pick apart whats a really bad secondary.
falcons were able to get quite a bit of pressure on rodgers and the packers oline is great at passblocking
problem with the shutting down julio thing is that they have so many other weapons, they cant just put butler and a safety on julio like they did with brown or the other guys will torch them

Theirs a couple guys on 2+2 who write for sports sites and these guys are super smart dudes who blow me away with some of the stuff they know. Actually theirs a guy who used to post on here who got a job with a nba front office from writing long term in the nba threads.
whats the nba dudes name?
i totally agree, i would never try and start a sports blog (for monetary reasons) because the competition is way too hard and there are so many things working against you
you are never outranking ESPN, cbs, ringer, or 10 year old established sports blogs so good luck getting that third page of google traffic (if you can even get to page 3)
secondly, you spend all day writing a post about the past weekends games and by wednesday nobody will care about it anymore and will be thinking about the next week...... and generally smaller blogs can't just post a topic and rank on google within a day like espn can
third, as you mentioned in asia by the time i watch games im 24-72 hours behind the news cycle to begin with
but if rehabbing wanted to pay me to write for his site by the word and i didnt have to cross my fingers that i would get traffic it is a different story
