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.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
