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?

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
