It is a good thing Atlanta did not play in New England last night, as they would have had a good shot at winning. 

Imagine the story lines if Atlanta went into New England and defeated the Patriots. I would not be able to turn on any sports show all weekend. 

Blessing in disguise.

Now the excuses about not having  one or 2 wrs have been the reason on sports shows. Plus no Pass Rush

Except the Falcons don't have Eric Berry, who absolutely shut down Gronk, and the play Hightower got hurt on might not've happened, which after he went down the Cheifs scored 21 points.

Falcons still might've won, but the Cheifs and Andy Reid match up with the Patriots better than any other team.

Falcons would have had a good shot at winning. That New England defense looked suspect.

I sniff that a dynasty could be coming to an end.  They got extremely lucky in the SB that the Falcons imploded.  Last night they looked pretty average at best.  Still a long season, but for the Pats to lose at home on opening night is a big deal.

I enjoyed every second of the game and thank God football is back! :)

It is a long season, and we've seen the Pats get their poo together before and finish strong. Time (and injuries) will tell, but giving up 42 at home does give me hope.

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
