DutchFalcon Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Week 1 vs Eagles - W Expecting a close game. Eagles always seem to match up pretty well with us. If they can get a passrush and ground game going I could see them winning this. If they fall behind and are forced to air it out I could see the Falcons running away with it. Week 2 @ Buccaneers - L Not expecting a win at Tampa. Week 3 @ NY Giants - W Greatly depends on Barkley. If he's healthy and rearing to go he could give the defense a issues. I'm not expecting Daniel Jones to be able to outduel Matt Ryan though. Week 4 vs WFT - L That Dline is legit and getting overmatched in the trenches is a good recipe for a loss. Week 5 vs NY Jets - W Going to pencil this in a W but with it being a London game and the enigma around Wilson I'm really not sure what to expect. Week 7 @ Dolphins - W The Dolphins seem to give the Falcons some fits. A lot depends on how Tua's development is going. Coming fresh of a bye week I'm expecting a W. Week 8 vs Panthers - W Panthers don't really scare me this year. Week 9 at Saints - L I feel we'll be the better team but HFA and refball will lead too an annoying loss. Week 10 @ Cowboys - W In a weird way this could be a bit of a revenge game with Dan Quinn and some of the previous regime ending up in Dallas. I think this will mean more for the Falcon players then for the Cowboys so I could see a motivated team that is eager to win. Week 11 vs Patriots - L Don't actually think Matt Ryan has ever beaten the Pats (apart from maybe the Steelers to only NFL teams he's never beaten). BB will do BB things and it will result in another L. Week 12 @ Jaguars - WLawrence might be the truth but he's still a rookie with rookie growing pains. Him being a rookie would mean that with Mike Smith and Dan Quin led teams I'd be 100% this would result into a loss. Lets see how the new regime handles it. Week 13 vs Buccaneers - L Could be a (closer) game. Not expecting a win though. Week 14 @ Panthers - W Still not scared. Week 15 @ 49'ers - L 49'ers are a scary team when healthy. Lots of it will depend on Lance though. Week 16 vs Lions - W Lions downgraded at the QB position and I could see them tanking at this point. Week 17 @ Bills - L Outdoor januari game vs a gritty defensive team with a gunslinging QB. Not feeling a W here. Week 18 vs Saints - W Should win at home imo. 10-7 seems about right too me. A lot will depend on how well players take to the new coaches and player health of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tk3 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 What's the number that we have to shift everyone down to get us to a combined .500 for all teams? Like, everyone's prediction -1.5 wins? -2 wins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I’m not going to do one until final roster cuts it’s still too early. Also potential injuries before the season begins. Edited May 13, 2021 by Blackstar12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goof is going to embarrass himself Sept. 26: at San Francisco Loss. With a halfway decent QB play and a full roster, SF should outphysical us. 2-1 Oct. 3: vs. Pittsburgh Loss. Juju gonna dance on our logos Oct. 10: at Cincinnati Win. Cincy is almost there but we just edge them out Oct. 17: at Chicago Win. Chicagis embarassing seasons continue 4-2 Oct. 24: vs. Washington Loss. the classic game that we "should" win but dont 4-3 Oct. 28: at Arizona loss. 4-4 Nov. 7: at Kansas City big loss 4-5 Nov. 14: vs. Seattle wheels are starting to come off.

FrantikRam Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 3 hours ago, Daniel said: Tennessee Titans: Cards: W, Titans do well in openers. At Seahawks: L, let’s assume that Wilson is too much for the young DBs to handle. Colts: W, new QB, at home. At Jets: W, Jets have a shiny new QB, but they’ve got a lot of work to do. At Jags: L, give Lawrence this one on the road. Bills: L, Bills are gonna have a nasty DL. Chiefs: L, it’s the Chiefs. At Colts: L, split with the Colts. At Rams: W, not believing Stafford turns it all around. Saints: W, no Brees. Texans: W, no first rounder, QB drama, at home. At Pats: W, another rookie QB on a rebuilding team. Jags: W, coming off a bye, and hosting late in the season Lawrence, they should be clicking by this point. Steelers: W, I don’t know how much Big Ben has in the tank. 49ers: W, Thursday night games are kind to teams hosting long travelers. Dolphins: L, Dolphins just added a ton of talent. At Texans: W to clinch playoffs. 11-6, which actually seems reasonable to me. Stafford doesn't need to turn it all around - Rams were one of the last 8 teams standing last year. I do think 11-6 is reasonable for the Titans though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incognito_man Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 GB schedule is pretty brutal. Get 3 quality clubs off their bye weeks. Major distractions happening. Rodgers eating up a TON of cap space. The rest of the North has a brutal schedule as well, so I can see 9-10 wins being atop the NFCN. Assuming Rodgers is operating at at least 90% of his 2020 self: 9-11 wins for GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notthatbluestuff Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'll do it seriously this time. Colts Week 1 - vs Seahawks: W - DL terrorises Russ and the run game feasts. Week 2 - vs Rams: L - Donald terrorises Wentz and Stafford shows out. Week 3 - @ Titans: W - This is a toss-up. I'll give Indy the road win. Week 4: @ Dolphins: L - I think Miami will be really good this year. Week 5: @ Ravens: L - This is an extremely tough opening slate. Week 6: vs Texans: W - Thankfully the Texans are here to help the Colts right the ship. Week 7: @ 49ers: W - I think the Colts take advantage of SF's midseason QB controversy to take the win. Week 8: vs Titans: L - Split with Tennessee. Week 9: vs Jets: W - Difference in quality is stark. Week 10: vs Jaguars: W - No W for Lawrence in his first trip to Indy. Week 11: @ Bills: W - Colts get revenge in a wild card rematch. Week 12: vs Bucs: W - This is where you're starting to think I'm a homer - but I think the defending champs are a distant memory by this point. Week 13: @ Texans: W - It's hard to find a game that Houston can win. Week 15: vs Patriots: L - An inexplicable loss to the Pats after a bye. Week 16: @ Cardinals: L - Kyler outguns Wentz in the desert. Week 17: vs Raiders: W - Raiders are in their late season slump. Week 18: @ Jaguars: W - End the season on a high. 11-6 - good for the AFC South title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have us starting 4-1 and finishing 1-4 and 9-8 overall. It doesn't matter if it's an easy schedule to start and hard schedule to finish, or hard schedule to start and easy schedule to finish, we always start hot and completely collapse.
