Oh no doubt the Falcons are a better matchup for you guys than Saints or Vikings. Both of those teams are very balanced and Minny’s D is downright frightening.
Re coaching, in a normal game I would agree with you. Quinn’s Achilles heel is Andy Reid-like clock management blunders. But he has coached in 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls and is now 3-1 in the playoffs as coach of the Falcons.
I have to think the strategy against the Eagles will be the same as the Rams game. Stack the box against the run, put the DB’s in man and dare Foles to beat them through the air. But given the cold weather I think both teams will be anxious to stick to the run game as long as possible.
