This is it. We’ve been saying that we’ll see how all the moves the team has made this offseason will play out that it sounds like a broken record, something that I’m depressingly realizing is probably an obsolete saying now. Now we really do get to see how they all play out, over the course of an 18 week season, and beginning today with Falcons vs. Eagles.
We’re all pretty optimistic the Falcons will win this one, at least among the writers who chimed in for this roundtable, which is probably equal parts our collective perception of the Eagles as an improving-but-not-great team, the kind of hope that springs eternal when you haven’t actually see your starters in action yet, and maybe just a strong desire for a win.
