8:30 EST.....Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michelle Tafoya on NBC

Inside the new billion dollar Mercedez Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta....(its so bright in there) .over-under 54.5

 

High-powered matchup of big time QBs.

2016 MVP Matt (I had a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl) Ryan against the 'Baddest Man Alive' 2015 MVP Aaron Rodgers.

The Falcons looked slow beating the Bears 23-17 in Chicago but everybody looks slow on that cow pasture that the Bears play on.

The falcons will be flying Sunday night and they'll get more than the 64 yards rushing on 23 carries they had last week.

Ryan wasnt bad: 21 of 30 for 321

 

Rodgers was 28 of 42 for 311..inclduing 9 to Randall Cobb for 85 yards and 7 to Jordy Nelson for 79 yards,

Falcons had fours sacks on Bears' Mike Glennon but they wont get Rodgers 4 times...

Pack held Russell Wilson and Seattle to nine points but that's not happening Sunday night....even though the Packers 'D' looks a lot better on the back end than last year.

 

Again..too close to call...but indoors, I like the over..even at 54.5 .....these QBs wont quit putting up the points and no lead is safe!!   (sorry Falcons..I'll stop talking abut it)

Packers in a boring, fraudulent blowout like all of their early in the year wins since 2008. The Falcons will recover but tomorrow won't be their day. If nothing else it will be because of the new age SNF curse. Has there been a good game besides the season opener since the Pats/Broncos in 2015?

Do you actually like the team you supposedly root  for?     You seem like a miserable person.   Perhaps therapy could help

Do you actually still try this after I've destroyed you so many times on this board? Go oil yourself robot. Perhaps it could help.

You've never destroyed anything on this board other than your own arguments.   Example. 8-8 is a winning season.   8

I understand rounding in math but I'mreally talking about semantics (which isn't usually my thing...but you've said so many times that he hasn't had a losing season so), reading comprehension and the English language, none of which you understand I guess. Speaking of which remember the time you did us all the service of telling us the Brady/Manning debate post was badly formatted? It's a good thing to because none of us saw it. It makes me want to warn people to every time you do this.     example. 8 i think then they would understand.

8-8 is a winning season only if you make the playoffs. lmao

 

Outside of la la land in this forum where that's used to justify the Colts mediocrity in Pagano's coaching, it's pretty much well agreed on that an 8-8 record makes you an average, mediocre team and not a "winning season." If you make the playoffs at 8-8, then you can tell us how this is a winning team who fails to achieve 9 or 10 wins...

Thank you for agreeing  with me.  He is the one that claims 8-8 is a winning season

I had picked Atlanta to win in my football picks. I figured that they would do well in their new stadium.

 

However, when Green Bay was moving the ball near the end of the game, I did wonder if Atlanta would once again give up the large lead they had.

Arguing the semantics of what 8-8 amounts to?

Man I hope the Colts win a game soon, & somehow this thread has me hoping the Colts finish on either side of 9-7 or 7-9...

haha  no kidding.

That'd be an overachievement based on what we've seen so far, yet still a losing season, even though Chuck wouldn't have had a losing season. Makes perfect sense.

      All Colts fans will go into a lottery, and will select their preferred team based on the lottery outcome. I'll send a private, ordered list of posters/GMs to @chad72 and one other poster. @NFLfan, who will not have the list, will use a random number generator (like the link below). He will publish his random list, and Chad will publish his. The list will be mashed up, and result in the GM order (who will then pick their teams).   Example: List provided to Chad   EastStreat Chad 72 Danlhart87 Nickster MPStack ......   NLFfan uses a random generator for range of 1-X (in the case above, 5) and comes up with  4 1 5 3 2   The two will be paired, and the result would be   1. Chad72 2. MPStack 3. Nickster 4. EastStreat 5. Danlhart87   So Chad would choose first (likely the Colts), followed by MPStack and so on...    I know it sounds complicated, but it's extremely easy, and fair.   For fans of an opposing team, they'll get their team assuming they want their team, and there are no other opposing fans that want them too (Joe get Pitt for example, If NFLfan were playing, he'd get MN).

      Cosmi has always been further back in the tackle ratings by the experts.  Not a 1st rounder in most eyes.  When you look at overall player rankings he winds up in the 2nd. Rd.
