New England's defense, let's face it, it's overrated. For fun, here's the slate of QBs they faced:

Tyrod Taylor (x2)
Fitzparick (x2)
Brock (x2)
Tannehill
Matt Moore
Carson Palmer
Cody Kessler (or Josh McCown or RGIII...does it matter? They all are not good)
Dalton
Landry Jones
Russell Wilson
Kaepernick (might have Gabbert but again, who cares?)
Goff
Flacco
Siemian
Roethlesberger

Lots, and lots of crap on that list. No doubt one of the easiest slates Belichick has had.

Now, let's see who Atlanta played

Brees (x2)
Newton (x2)
Winston (x2)
Rodgers (X2)
Russell Wilson (x2)
Carr
Siemian
Rivers
Wentz
Carson Palmer
Alex Smith
Goff
Kaepernick

Looks like they played 3 of the top 5-6 QBs in the league (including twice for Brees and Rodgers), and very little in terms of crap QBs. So yeah to me Atlanta's defense figures to be underrated here, and the Pats overrated. Matt Ryan is easily the best QB New England will face this year. Can't say the same for the Falcons and Brady.
