We will open the season as home underdogs

Re: We will open the season as home underdogs

The Falcons will spend the next couple of months up in Flowery Branch on grass fields outside. Being as it will still be hot in Pgh on the 12th, playing outside won't be even the tiniest advantage.

And Matt Ryan struggled in a lot of games last year. He's beatable, especially with the Steelers defense. With Troy and Aaron back and the starting linebacker crew, this is absolutely a winnable game for the Black and Gold.

Atlanta is the sexy pick. Giving them 2.5 gets people to bet on them. No big deal. I expect most of the pundits to pick Atlanta on the pre-game shows and web sites leading up to the game.

Playing outside is always an advantage against a dome team. I wouldn't be surprised if we control this game from start to finish.

Two responses made me laugh:

Atlanta is not nearly as high powered on thick grass, outside,

You act as if they are playing on a community park field that hasn't been mowed in 4 months. I'm sure they will be just as prepared to play on grass as turf. Its game 1, Heinz field isn't a mudpit just yet.

You mentioned taking your meds after that, I think you need stronger ones...haha. Stone hands getting 2 INT's in one game = "Double Rainbow"![/quote:2jp6gp8m]

Sweet...we play well as underdogs in general, but as home underdogs???

As JD might say, we'll be FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHING AT THE MOUTH LIKE CRAZED UNDERDOGS!!!

You got that right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last time I looked, 90% of the SB XLIII team is still intact. This is a
huge Slap in the Face if you ask me. I hope this team gets a fire up their collective
AZZ, and show the NFL pundits where to stick their predictions....

Frooooothing at the mouth like a crazed dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good ol' Rodney is long and gone but I still busted up when I saw his goofy mug!
Still making ppl laugh...

Last night, they profiled Rodney Dangerfield on the Biography Channel, so I watched that for a while. When it went to commercial, I started brousing through the channel guide, and I noticed that "Back to School" was on, so I switched over to that. Too bad "Caddyshack" wasn't on as well, or I would have had pure, unadulterated Rodney overload.

Re: We will open the season as home underdogs

High powered O of Atlanta and no real QB to challenge the Falcons 2.5 sounds about right to me. In order for us to win that game our D is going to need to play lights out for 4 quarters.

And you forgot to mention we have a coach that sucks balls.
