Week 1: Falcons (0-0) at VIKINGS (0-0)

Last year, the Falcons were uncharacteristically bad rushing the ball and stopping the run. So, who will have the most yards rushing this game?

With questions swirling about whether the star receiver would sit out if a deal isn't finalized, [Julio] Jones clarified that he plans to play Sunday, with or without a new deal, per the team's official website.  "It's just like far as me, what I'm doing is getting me ready to go," he added.

Am I the only one not impressed at all with Alexander Mattison?

Way too slow and zero moves.

You might be.  But, it depends upon what you mean by "impressed."  He seems to me to be a better version of Asiata, which is fine.  My expectations of him were never to be a feature back, but to be a replacement for Murray.  He's not as good as Murray, but I think he'll be better than Asiata.

I hope Jones plays. I'd rather see where this team is at against an opponent at full strength than pickup a cheap win with the Falcons best player sitting out week 1.

I'll gladly take the cheap win in Week 1.  No one will remember it come Week 17.

I actually think he looks to be as good as Murray.

His vision and patience look great, and he’s a back that constantly gets positive yards.

In 24 road games by opposition QBs at US Bank since 2016: http://pfref.com/tiny/gW3Vb

  • 5 games of 250+ yards, only one 300 yard game
  • 14 games sub 200 yards, including 5 sub 150 yards
  • 4 games of 2 TDs, no 3+ TD games
  • 10 games of zero TDs

Cousins meanwhile had at least one TD in every home start and averaged nearly 250 yards passing per game. 

This stat is crazy!
