So... what are the chances the Panthers could be set up on Sunday with a chance to take a 2 game lead in the division on Monday?

I know "any given sunday". But I think the Falcons are looking mighty vulnerable right now. And TB has been playing better. I know they gave up a 24-0 lead, but still, signs of improvement front the squad. Atlanta keeps scraping by bad teams, even getting beat by the Saints. I think Tampa might surprise tomorrow. What do you guys think?

 

If not tomorrow, when do you think the Falcons' next loss will come?

Regardless of who wins, I bet it will be a ton closer than last year's 56-14 beatdown.  And it wouldn't surprise me if the Bucs did get a little payback for that--the Falcons were up 35-0 at the half and ran up three more TDs in the third before backing off and letting Tampa get 2 TDs in garbage time.

I wouldn't be worried about the dirty birds except for having to play them twice within weeks.  Add the long haul since our bye and things can happen.  I'll have trust in Rivera keeping fresh leggs available for the home stretch.  We can't afford anymore injuries.

I think playing them late in the season is to our advantage.  We are the tougher, more physical team.  We will be a little beaten up, but they will likely be more so.

In the last four years we're 15-4 in December.  Atlanta's been 8-10 over the same span. One team finishes the season stronger than the other, care to guess which?

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
