The only question is are they the best team in the NFL?

I'd say we're tied with the Chiefs

The Bucs games will be good. I think they will take a wildcard. Yeah we are super good again but we were probably the luckiest NFL team injury wise last year Trufant was really all that happened. This year is already worse.

Curious to see what the Lions look like tomorrow. I know LOLions but we all laughed at the falcons for years and now look at them

Opening day road game coming off the most embarrassing super bowl loss in history. Did you watch them tonight against a much better team than the Bears? Guess what good teams struggle and even lose to bad teams sometimes in professional sports.

Doesn't seem surprising. They were the best team in the NFL last year.

GB did have some injuries, though.

Both tackles out. Nelson missed basically the entire game. Dunno if that would get GB a win, but it would've been closer for sure

That's not a legit reason for it being basically a blowout? Falcons have had incredible luck in regards to injuries

The NFL is so unpredictable from week to week. I wouldn't make absolute statements, but Atlanta looks like the safest bet to at least make the playoffs after 2 weeks. Every other NFC team has work to do if they're going to make the playoffs, even the Packers.

A lot of teams are going to look a lot different 15 weeks from now, and then the playoffs are an entirely different animal.

That is a part of everything. Do you think sinking the Bismarck was not impressive because a lucky torpedoe hit its rudder? You are what is brought to the table during any match.

If the packers aren't deep enough to fill the holes then they are what they are.

The Falcons wouldn't be deep enough either. No team would. You think Atlanta would look good with Julio out and both starting tackles? Absolutely not. Atlanta has had insane luck especially with their offensive line. I do think at some point they will get a big injury, that's just what happens.

We lost one of the best RTs in the league early and the leading sack defender from last season.

Injury, domestic abuse charges, drugs etc. I know you hate the Falcons with a passion but this is a dumb argument which only is made to try to deflate an impressive victory. The packers put up the best team they could field and lost.

Did you watch tonight's game? Last year we were incredibly lucky minus losing our all pro corner. Tonight we had two big injuries

We will see who is left at the end of the year.

Make sure to remember don't bitch if you get to the playoffs with Julio, a couple of your OLs, and your best DL.

NFL is mostly who's left at the end of the year.
