Nice schedule for Atlanta, apart from catching Philly coming off their bye.

So the Sunday Night Football games (The games that should be on Channel 4):
 
Steelers @ Broncos
Lions @ 49ers
Patriots @ Ravens
Giants @ Eagles
Chargers @ Saints
Packers @ Texans
Steelers @ Bengals
Saints @ Broncos
Cowboys @ Falcons
Texans @ Bears
Ravens @ Steelers
Packers @ Giants
Eagles @ Cowboys
Lions @ Packers
49ers @ Patriots
Chargers @ Jets
 
A lot of big name teams not getting any/much prime time this year!

Actually a good prime time lineup IMO only surprise is us @ the Lions on a Sunday night, doesnt feel like a Sunday night game to me

Aren't the last 5 or so games usually changed based on the playoff scenario? Green Bay being on Sunday night 3 times annoys me since I would pay for the Gamepass if I could watch them all on a Sunday afternoon. Night games are too late for work

booked my Bears @ 49ers ticket today :D
 
cant wait first NFL game state side!    
support the Bears btw
 
should be booking Saints @ Raiders for the day before as well! works out perfectly 

I think I'm gonna book the morning off after us @ SF in Week 2, gonna be an epic game!

No Raiders games, but we normally have a few Sky games anyway.

Another Tampa fan  Makes up for Salem not posting in here anymore. What are you making of Schiano so far? i'm liking what i hear from training. already trying to shift our troublemakers and he's working everyone hard. It's just what we needed because we had no discipline under Raheem Morris.
 
 
 
 
 
The deal to send cornerback Asante Samuel to the Atlanta Falcons from the Philadelphia Eagles has been finalized, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.





As part of the trade, Samuel and the Falcons have agreed to terms on a three-year, $18.5 million deal.
It's not yet known what the Falcons will send the Eagles in return for the nine-year veteran.
 

6th round pick for Samuel, pleased with that.

Pre-draft nerves kicking in now

I don't want to wait until tomorrow to see what we do :/
 
Should be a fun draft, after the first 2 picks everything's really open.

I'll have to get into NFL more this year and actually try and learn any players outside of the 2/3 best. Then again I say this every year

If we get DeCastro without moving I'll shit the bed...

Reiff at 23...
 

Goodell, what a wierd fellow.

Happy with Perry, we needed something opposite Matthews and he should give us it
 
Draft was crazy, 14 trades and the Cowboys jumping the Buccs to grab Claibourne was awesome

See you in February.
 
 
Reasonably happy with Nick Perry (DE). We do have a need there but I would personally be looking at the O-line first and foremost. Need to enforce a high scoring approach imo.

He wont play DE Kris he was a hybrid at USC so we will just stick him at LB opposite Matthews. I see where your coming from with the OL but our D needs addressing its been poor for a while, Its massivley aggressive and creates a lot of turnovers but we concede too many points. I still think we need to address DB earlier rather than later
 

Lost my **** when i heard we'd traded down and not taken Richardson or Claibourne  then i saw who we actually got and calmed down. Barron was phenomenal for the Crimson Tide and everyone says he's going to be a Franchise safety. Replaces Jackson and upgrades at the same time.
 
I'm thinking we take the best RB available next and then look to get a corner that can be developed.
 
Edit: oh yea we took a RB at the end, missed that. Corner it is.
