Falcons win a close and ugly game. 

- Standouts will be the 2 rookies.  Young and Robinson. 

- I think much like the preseason, I think offensively Young will look really good to an extent without a lot of help.  I think our WRs will struggle to get separation against a Falcon team that will be schemed up to play the small ball. 

- I don't think Ridder looks good. 

- I think Atl's running game essentially wins the game for them at the end of the day. 

- I think there will be a massive overreaction to it by the board. 

You can pretty much use that last prediction for every game after seeing how we handled preseason games.

What's the largest Week 1 blowout loss in franchise history (thus far)?

2009 we lost to the Eagles at home 38-10 when Jake had another meltdown following his meltdown in January against the Cardinals on his birthday.

We lost to the Redskins in 1997 24-10 and the Falcons in 2006 20-6.

Also notable we lost to the Giants 31-18 in 2010 and Packers 24-14 in 2004.

You guys that are picking us to win, explain to me how we are going to stop their run game?

 It's a passing league. They were near the top last year and what did that get them? And then they drafted more running. Do you follow any teams besides the Panthers?

Cons win 20-17

Bryce throws two picks and the Huddle declares him a bust and demands Sam Darnold come back.

I'd somehow forgotten about that game

23-20, Panthers win on a late field goal with Bryce leading us on the game winning drive to put us in range.

Sanders gets 120 on the ground.

Bryce throws for 240, spreading the ball around.

Burns with two sacks and Fitterrrrerrrrrr decides he should have made the deal yesterday to save some money.

 

Half the huddle declares Super Bowl, the other half declares the season a bust since we only beat a shitty team by a field goal.

I havent seen anything from our defense so far that leads me to believe that we can stop the run or generate a legit pass rush without Brian Burns. 

And we dont know if Brian Burns is playing. 

Frank Reich historically starts slow, DJ Chark is out and we really dont know what to expect from Miles Sanders. Its an L folks.
