Which game will be less pleasant to go to: vs. Atlanta or vs. Arizona?

If you go to the Atlanta game, you'll get to see the fans packed with more fans of the opposing team than perhaps any other game in team history. It will AT LEAST be top 5 with us so bad and the Falcons so good and the Falcon fans always having a decent presence here when they're good. Plus, it's supposed to be a dreary day with forecasts of very cold rain showers Sunday afternoon.

If you go to the Arizona game, you'll get to see the two worst teams in the league battle it out in a meaningless game on another cold day. Could have one of the least attended games in franchise history.

So if you have your choice, which game would you rather go to least? And you can't choose "neither".

Don't know how crowded the Falcons game will be with cold rain and temps in the 40s. Atlanta fans aren't used to outdoor weather. Mostly will be local folks who disappeared when Vick left and now are coming out with their Falcon jerseys now that they are doing well again. Won't be many Panthers fans there either.

The Arizona game will be better, won't be full of rival fans and we might win. Weather isn't likely to be worse.

I am trying to decide this as well. I'm thinking I will attend the Cardinals game instead of having to endure all the Falcons fans like I did last game with the Ravens fans. Atleast on TV you only have to see all the opposing fans in the bottom sections for the most part and not the entire stadium. It makes me sad and embarassed when I go and i'm surrounded.

Kind of off topic, but I hope it snows really hard when we go play Pittsburgh at Heinz. I've always wanted to see us play in the pouring snow. Think it'd be neat.

I'm not talking flurries either, I want the field to be blanketed so you can't even see any green.

It snowed once before when we went to Pittsburgh, 1999 I believe. We needed to win to basically control our own destiny and get to the playoffs. Played a decent first half and then the snowstorm came and we got dominated in the 2nd half by the Steelers run game. Pittsburgh was pretty bad that year if I remember.

    • I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.  
    • Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up. 
    • I wouldn't mind it if they bring him in cheap for competition. I would imagine he would vie for the 3rd TE spot with the rookie.
