Golden Nuggets: Football is Back - For Real!

Good morning folks, the 2018 NFL season kicks off tonight with a game between the reigning NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons. Despite neither team playing the 49ers during the regular season this year, the game should be an interesting watch nevertheless. The Eagles are a talented team, but Super Bowl hangover can be a very real thing - for both winners and losers, as we’ve seen firsthand in the recent past. The Falcons, however, have been a team on a rollercoaster for several years. As talented as they are, the offense has had enormous down years during their first season with new offensive coordinators recently (Kyle Shanahan and now Steve Sarkisian) - but it’ll be interesting to see if they have the same kind of resurgence they experienced in their second year with Shanahan at the controls.
