So who's it going to be then?  Us or the Chiefs are really the only other options.  Many would go berserk but the competitor in me would love it.  I think we could set a huge tone.  At worst, we're 0-1 with our toughest game in the rear-view mirror.

Yeah. I'm all for it actually. Most teams lose in foxboro. But if we were able to go in there and knock off the champs and then get ten days to rest up for our home opener. Would be a really big deal. 

Like you said, at worst we are 0-1 and it's an out of conf loss.

Yeah I guess the NFL want the falcons to start the season off right and not like the Panthers.

The link you posted is just someone's opinion.  Doesn't really mean much.  

Fwiw, I think the NFL would love to have it as the opening game, if they can swing it.  Guaranteed ratings winner.

Yeah I know its someone opinion just like most of the offseason post. Just is interesting if its true. Some say the NFL hates the Panthers. Wouldn't surprise me if we play the patriots in the opener.

I don't know how excited I am with that prospect.

If we do open up with them, we'll be the first to try and handle the Patriots new plays and goodies. Just remember how much our defense was gashed against the  Broncos in the season opener.

I mean film does so much for a defense; especially for Kuechly. Seems we always start slow, so rather not play them until later.

Plus they gave the blueprint in the preseason on how to expose our defense last season. I don't want to face them in the season opener.

True, but I also didn't foresee us letting JNo go and not using his $$$ for anything in 2016.  If GANOMUSTGO doesn't shank the game winner who knows how 2016 goes. He will (better) be gone, and this offseason will be different, so bring it on!!!

NFL cares about one thing, and one thing only.   That being ratings.  My guess is it will be the Cowboys and somebody.  Atlanta, Seattle, or the raiders mostly likely.

And why in the flying fug would we be in the opener? We had a shitty ass season last year and were irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. In the minds of all other nfl fans and normal people otherwise, we are scrubs again. How does that drive tv ratings?

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
