Sometimes losing a WK 1 matchup as a slight favorite can just totally buttfuck your season. On the other hand, win Monday night and all may be forgiven. [Reply]
I think ATL will beat NOR. Cousins will play better, it’s going to take a couple-three weeks for him to shake the rust. Watching the replay, he was late on a lot of throws and none of his receivers helped him out when blitzed. But yeah the Falcons could easily go until Week 6 before picking up a W. [Reply]
From my Pre Week 1 predictions to Post Week 1 predictions, only one big thing has changed for me:
I genuinely believe the Panthers have a better than not chance of becoming the first 0-17 football team, because Dear Lord that was so damn difficult to watch. I'll go ahead and call Panthers go 0-17, so when they don't, you all can make fun of me for my dumb take. [Reply]

Just thinking of teams that aren't in the playoff conversation at all who might be better than expected.
I take all this back if Dallas beats them 49-0 this weekend.
