I haven’t seen anything posted on this yet. If this is true the NFL definitely hates us and I hope we stomp TF out of the Falcons for good measure.

Start off the season in the sphincter dome. Would be great to start off the season with a win against the falcons. Would be great to start off the season with a win anywhere. It's been a while.

Bold Prediction

Dalton throws for 275 and 2 tds in a win over the Falcons

Should be a good game, but not looking forward to being the first team to have to try and stop that run game.

I wouldn't be surprised if Heinicke is their starter as well. I'd play him over ridder personally

Nah Ridder starts. They are prepared to sink or swim with him.

switching to a 3-4 and the first game with a potential rookie qb against dynamic rushing attack certainly doesnt makes things easy to start the season

As they should be. You have a young QB with some talent and aren't expected to do anything. Use this season to test drive him. If he shows promise, great. If he doesn't, you're gonna have a really high pick to shop for another one.

I wasn't very high on Ridder as a prospect but given their overall situation playing Ridder is absolutely the right call. Heinicke is a good backup. But you're not going anywhere with him as a starter so why bother?

It seems like a significant miss by the NFL to have the #1 overall pick QB on the road week one. Give the fans what they want. We've been desperate for a QB for years. Let us see our guy at home to start his career. I mean, damn.

If I'm the NFL anytime there's a #1 pick QB who is expected to start right out of the gate I'm having that team open at home. That fanbase has been suffering. Throw a dog a bone.
