This thread makes me happy….

Browns @ Chiefs looks fairly tasty. Repeat of one of the better playoff games from January and will probably tell us a good bit about both teams.

Good slate of games for week 1 to be honest, Bills/Steelers and Patriots/Dolphins is interesting too.

D9Male · 08-09-2021 7:38am

They all look kinda interesting at this stage. The middle slot on Sunday looks pretty spicy. It's great to be back.

Did I miss something where the falcons have markedly improved that shambles of a defence from last season ? Shockingly the eagles fans picks the eagles to win, and all the experts seem to be down on them but that’s fine because I think they will win on Sunday and will have a better season then most think because we have a QB this season who hasn’t dropped off a cliff physically and mentally and was a disaster and had to be molly coddled to protect his feelings, and the Oline is healthy and there’s a young receiving Corps that has potential to be very good.

cosatron · 09-09-2021 1:15pm

I think it might that the falcons are at home. It was a toss up for me. The Eagles new HC doesn't inspire much confidence from the clips I've seen. The falcons will go back to running the ball with Ryan off play action like the titans last year

The_Honeybadger · 09-09-2021 1:49pm

I use the SuperBru pool rather than picking on here but I went for the Falcons there because they are at home and have a more settled QB situation. I wouldn’t have much confidence in that pick however, and would not be at all surprised if the Eagles win the game. I’m sticking with Atlanta though.

Week one is always hard to gauge, we will all probably get half our predictions wrong.

I was right on the fence on that one. What tilted me was home advantage and much more faith in Arthur Smith and Ryan putting together an impactful and potentially surprising game plan than Sirianni and Hurts (who you have a lot more confidence in than I do - feel like you'll be picking another QB early next year). You're right that the Falcon's defense is a complete disaster so could easily mess it up for the Falcon's Offense.

Hey guys, great to be back. Missed out on the picks last season so glad to be back in the mix. Can't believe how much I've missed NFL this year, bring on Redzone on Sunday!

Yes, I am higher on Jalen hurts than you are because 1) he’s not Carson Wentz, and 2) he showed some spark of talent which Wentz didn’t last year. Even accounting for the issues the eagles had on both sides of the ball, which every team has btw, Wentz contributed an amazing amount to how bad the team was. Ask any eagles fan on this forum who like me probably watched every minute of every game last season and they’ll likely as negative reaction to Wentz as I did.

I can definitely see that positive perspective based on that QB switch - especially as I spent most of last season watching a QB starting who was cut by the Eagles this offseason. Grim times lead to preseason hope

BonnieSituation · 10-09-2021 12:59am

Going for TB tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 1:14am

Great to have the NFL back, weekends aren't the same without it.

I hope you’re right and the bucs go through the cowboys like a dose of salts.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 1:28am

Hate the single digit linebacker/Safety/CB shirts. Doesn't look right.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 1:29am

what a punt! tough start for the Cowboys....interesting to see how Dak looks after last years injury.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 1:32am

tough run from Elliot on 3rd. Thought the Buccs had him dead to rights short.

el Fenomeno · 10-09-2021 1:37am

Couple of throws behind Ceedee Lamb on that last series. I wonder just how healthy that shoulder is for Dak.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 1:45am

impressive drive there. Brady making it look easy. If Dallas want to stay in this it looks like it will need to be a shootout.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 1:54am

Here we go , shootout is on. Great reply by the Cowboys.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 2:17am

Cowboys with absolutely no pressure up front. Brady is having a field day, all day back there, not a hand on him.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 2:43am

2 terrible misses from Zeurlein, both around 30 yards and missed by miles, both of them.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 2:45am

oooof , another turnover from Tampa Bay......goes down as an int, but Fournettes fault.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 2:47am

Thank god Zeurlein hit that from 35 or he might have been out of a job after week 1.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup · 10-09-2021 2:49am

TB looking fcking great

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 2:50am

Brady torching this Dallas D. Apart from the turnovers they are having no problems with this D.

dobman88 · 10-09-2021 2:50am

Simple aul game. 2 plays, 57 yards, TD. Lol

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 3:05am

Wow, i don't understand that at all. Dumpster fire end to that drive, but had the managed it a bit better, maybe they'd have a hail mary try. Now Brady has 20 seconds and a time out from the 50!

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 3:08am

ah they used their timeout. Still gave Tampa 3 plays from the 50.....man that would have been insane had he returned that. I'd love to see the spidercam or all-22 of that, cos i bet there weren't many fast players back there to chase him down.....seemed like he ran into the wrong area.

el Fenomeno · 10-09-2021 3:17am

Somewhat enjoyable first half (!!)

Nice of Dallas to ease Dak back into it after suffering from shoulder fatigue. Just the 32 pass attempts that half.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 3:30am

record for the most pass attempts in a game is 70 - Drew Bledsoe in 1994. Prescott is up to 41

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 3:48am

Dallas can't afford any more slip ups (or field goals) from here on in if they want any chance to win. Thought the Dak throw into traffic was a bit reckless (even though the receiver dropped a well thrown ball)

Still Ill · 10-09-2021 3:49am

Brady to Gronk.. HOW LONG CAN THEY KEEP DOING THIS?? It's phenomenal

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 3:59am

Yeah, hard to believe he had retired looking like injuries had caught up with him.

Xavi6 · 10-09-2021 4:13am

Dak looks very good in his first game back. How about the Bucs punter though? He's been brilliant.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 4:24am

What a huge run for 1st on 3rd and 1. Dallas have to hold Tampa to a FG on this drive.

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 4:25am

Wow, what a turnover. Defender with ideas of 100 yard fumble return. shudda taken a knee!

MileHighGuy · 10-09-2021 4:27am

That was pretty much game there had they scored the TD. 9 points up with less than 5 to go. Now Dallas can win it with a FG (recalling my earlier comment that they can't win with field goals)
