The Falcons travel to play the Panthers tonight. I'm picking Carolina @ home to win.

GB beat Atlanta at home in week 4 by 30 to 16. Additionally, Carolina will also visit GB just before Christmas. From current league results, GB has a very good chance to take the #1 seed for this seasons playoffs. Tonight's game should serve as a good chance to study the Panthers prior to the Dec.20,2020 meeting.

Smokey, although we disagree politically, I think you are spot on with the pick

Atlanta has such a great team for 3 quarters.

I would be more excited if McCaffrey was playing.

Dammit! I wanted to pick the Falcons figuring they'd still be riding the highs of the interim head coach. Just didn't have the guts to pull the damn trigger. No risk it, no biscuit!

Also because do you really trust the Lions? And really, my understanding (from post game talk, not watching) is if Todd Gurley just listened to Matt Ryan and did not score, they could have run the clock out and won. And Lions were lucky as heck...

But every year there is a team or two harder to pick and it seems to be the Falcons right now...

My feeling was if I had to put $5 on it, sure, throw it on Falcons, but I wasn't sure enough to be willing to risk to drop a game on everyone in NFL Pick'em! haha

I have some twisted sense of priorities, let me tell ya!

Carolina demonstrated a good ground game even without McCaffery. With nearly 2 months before GB host them at Lambeau, Bridgewater has fully recovered from his terrible injury and shown mobility as well as arm strength. He and their offense will continue to improve moving forward.

GB seems weak on run defense. Let's hope that the new and medically recovered players can do better stopping the run this season. ILB is still my point of focus.

Zero2Cool (20h) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : The method for measuring first downs in the NFL will switch from chain gangs to camera-based technology in 2025, the league announced.

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : A big step in the right direction. Just put in the college system is very very good.

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : NFL has passed a rule that allows both teams to possess the ball in OT during the regular season

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : Touchbacks on kickoffs will now bring the ball to the 35-yard line.

beast (31-Mar) : It might of gotten more popular recently, but braiding hair (even men) in certain cultures goes back for centuries.

Martha Careful (30-Mar) : Is men braiding their hair a new style thing? Watching the NCAA men's tournament many players have done

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Ha. Well, it'd be nice for folks to reset their own password. Via validated email 😏

beast (29-Mar) : Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : I was thinking email because I think it'll make folks keep it up todate lol

wpr (29-Mar) : sure is

Zero2Cool (29-Mar) : Monopoly is a rip off of The Landlord's Game

wpr (27-Mar) : 28 days until the draft

earthquake (27-Mar) : Which seemed strange to my 9 year old self, that you could be a fan for a team other than the one you play for

earthquake (27-Mar) : Nothing eventful happened, other than it being clear that he was a bengals fan

earthquake (27-Mar) : And we went and hung out with him one afternoon, I must have been 9 or so

earthquake (27-Mar) : That’s wild, when I was a kid my friend lived in the same apartment complex in De Pere
