It is Falcons week again - What are your thoughts and predictions?

If you have to play a game on Thursday, it's good that it's a team you've already played, so we know a good bit about them.  They do have a new coach.

Anybody know about their health?

I think the two rookie linemen they drafted last year have looked pretty decent this year (makes sense) but I don't follow them to closely.  While they have a lot more talent than we do, we do have better coaches.  We also have a team that has bought in.  They haven't.  We'll see if that's enough.

we lost 2 in a row. Our plummet back down to earth continues. Falcons win.

Burns hits Ryan so hard he sh*ts his pants yet again, and regardless of the outcome we have imagery for years that sums up the Falcons as an organization.

We win

And you'll be back here to admit you were wrong if we lose, right? No? Ah, the Huddle. Where special is, as special does.

You're a special person

Constantly predicting W's, and never predicting L's. And I'm the special one huh? I don't think that's how life works.

I want my team to win every week, why you have a problem with that?

There's a difference between wanting, and predicting it every week. You predict it every week. I wanted the Panthers to win every game in 2017, but did I think they would? Absolutely not. I wouldn't of predicted them to win every week either, because that's not realistic. Every week you predict a win on here. Two different things. FYI. I hate I had to explain the difference to you, but okay.

I guess you take predictions on an online message board to be life or death choices while I don't.  Also the only game I predicted a win and I knew we would lose was Chicago, and I prefaced my prediction by saying we probably lose but I will predict a win anyway. We were in every other game this year.

I just presumed you picked the Panthers to win, regardless. I mean, every game this year is a W for you. 

And no, I don't take them as that. I would just rather take it with face value, and have a semblance of realism in predictions. Most do that, except yours. Besides Chicago (so you say).

a reasonable person could of gone into every game thus far and still picked a Panther win.  I don't see a problem with that.  Think a reasonable person could argue we have been in position to win them all but one too.  We were in them all but Tampa.  And Tampa was an 0-1 team that got handled by NO and Carolina was coming off a good offensive game at the time of predictions.  

you pick us to beat KC? Well, that wouldn't be very reasonable.

Before the season, picking Carolina to win any game but against trash opponents was a bit unreasonable to me, to be fair.

we opened the season vs the Raiders.  Not Green Bay.
