Is it just me or is this the most exciting game in over a year? More excitement than any game last year, including the opener in Denver.

I bet the NFL is happy to finally get an attractive Thursday night matchup.  Thursday night ratings have been poo again this year, I wonder if they'll be higher for two 4-1 teams?

Agreed!

My wife and I are both re arranging our work schedules so we can watch live.  5:25 PDT is a bitch to make for a live game on the west coast so we started planning/re arranging after that W in Detroit.

Going to BBQ get some beers and do it up nice.

Even got some new swag coming for the kids.

Well I mean the Patriots and Bucs were supposed to be exciting, but that turned into a snooze fest. Thursday night games are always overhyped and underwhelm, and the ones we expect to be bad become good out of nowhere.

Would not be surprised to see this turn into a defensive struggle for both offenses.

This is no where close to last seasons opener imo.

It is for me, based on how completely shitty it was for the NFL to send the Panthers to Denver for the opener. 

 

Win the NFC Championship and don't get a home opener is bad enough. Have to play the game just after the Superbowl banner is unveiled is just moronic.

I believe this game won't live up to expectations. Thursday night games are just horrible because of the short week and seem to include too many injuries. This will be a sloppy game that we will come out on top, but it won't be pretty.

With that said, I'm taking both Thursday and Friday off :shades:

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
