FalconOdense Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 With FA being very quiet and still a month until the draft I would like to make a post about one of my most exciting things about the NFL - the schedule release. Take away the games and the draft this is always the most interesting thing to me. I know what you are thinking. We already know who we are going to play, but not when. When is our bye? How many teams will we play coming from a bye? How many night games? i think it was **** last year - hate the early bye. Schedule should be released 17th of April. My prediction of late night games: A Saints game(thursday night) Green Bay, Eagles and the Steelers. Home Tampa Bay Buccaneers New Orleans Saints Carolina Panthers New York Giants Cincinnati Bengals Dallas Cowboys Arizona Cardinals Baltimore Ravens Away Tampa Bay Buccaneers New Orleans Saints Carolina Panthers Cleveland Browns Philadelphia Eagles Green Bay Packers Washington Redskins Pittsburgh Steelers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domed Outter Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Think we'll manage another division game in primetime, Panthers for a change, at home. Steelers week one on the road like 2010, to add to the repeat opener in Chicago last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Super bowl is in Atlanta. There will be a few home games in prime time and game of the week to draw interest in MBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Winning record at home should be a lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel 25:17 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Still thinking THEY MIGHT have us open the Season in Philly. Wouldn’t be surprised as it is one of their biggest out of divisional home games against a(get ready for it)ratings drawing opponent.

Away at Phily, Pitt, or Green Bay are the more likely options. it will be either a rematch f the divisional playoffs, the top 2 wideouts battle it out with a side story of can Matt Ryan beat pittsburgh, or Can Aaron Godgers finally kick his habit of losing to Atlanta. They will probably want to start the season on thrusday with the previous super bowl winners at home with a worth opponent. So that is a possibility.

From what I’ve seen it’s all but a lock Vikings Philly for the opener. Although the Monday night double header could have us in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking they are going to want a high ratings game to kick off the season and we fit that bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to see the Falcons make the playoffs and have to go through both the Eagles and Vikings on their way to the super bowl and win it in MBS.

I think it comes down to us or them and I would say the Falcons are a bigger draw, since offense brings in casual fans more often or at least that is what the league has shown. Unless they just make it a divisional game, which would suck! They also could build up the return of Deshaun Watson, that could be a big draw as well.

I wouldn't hate that scenario, but I would just like the Falcons to prove to all of the "experts" that they deserve to be in the super bowl once they get there. Leave little chance to think that they had it easy. The top 5 teams in the NFC is the Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Falcons,and as much as I hate to say it, the Aints () in no particular order. We will probably split the season series against the aints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Thats why I want the vikings or eagles in the divisional, and the other in the NFCCG. Don't want the aints, because anything can happen in a regular season game, just imagine a playoff game.

I remember a couple years back on this board I called them the Taints and a falcons fan of all people called all pissy that I called them the taints and kept saying it was childish. That isn't the reason I don't call them taints though, I just like aints more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, there are WAY WORSE things we could say about that town/fan base. Taints normally does not insight a fight, it regularly gets a clever chuckle and a comeback from Taint fans. And going back to that ‘fan’ that thought it was childish... Dude, we are on a message board talking about a child’s sport that grown men are playing and other grown ups are cheering them on in! Maybe it’s just me but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
