Patriots vs Falcons - 2017 Thursday night opener

[cupofjoe1962]

What better matchup for the opener at Gilette as we raise the banner.

I would be shocked if it is not the Falcons.

It would be stupid for it not to be.

I expect it to be the opening game. No doubt.

I personally think it should be another team but that is because I'm not a fan of SB rematches opening the season, allow both teams to establish their new "identity" for the 2016 season before meeting again. This has nothing to do with winning/losing either, I think we'd win, of course.

Having the last two NFL games be against the same 2 teams just seems off, that's how I felt this year with Broncos vs Panthers.

Regardless, I don't really ****ing care we're CHAMPIONS

Carolina's season in 2015 was wrecked because they couldn't get over the emotion of losing to denver twice in a row. I agree this should be a sunday night game in november.
