Is Atlanta a must win?


Randolph Panther

Recommended Posts

It's not a must win.  It will be week 4 on the road and the NFC South is bad.  Even at 1-3 the Panthers would still have a good chance to win the South.  I don't think we have to worry about it though.  Atlanta doesn't have the players on defense to disrupt the Panthers offense like Denver and Minnesota.

It's not a must win but I'll officially be worried about our team if we lose it.

Yes, it's a must-win. This team has no discipline nor does it have brains (the coaching staff remains incapable of adjusting). If we lose to Atlanta, then I'll bet on my soul that we go 5-11 or 6-10. Forget 7-9. We have all the athleticism and size and physicality in the world but what good is it if our coaches can't harness its true potential.

If we lose to Atlanta, unpack your bags because our boys will be staying home after December. Hell, that might as well be the case now since we let Bradford and that horrendous Vikings OL beat us at home.

If we were 0-3 it still wouldn't be a must win. Most people are just way too reactionary to September games. We haven't played a single divisional game yet.

I really don't care for the "must-win" term and the way it's thrown around.  It's become the ASAP of the sports world.

To me "must-win" means that if we lose we're not capable of making it to the post season and thus we "must win".  So no - this game is not a must-win game.

This game is important for us to win without a doubt.  It would be great for the team morale and it would keep us on pace with the rest of our division.  It would be equally bad for morale to drop to 1-3 but still we would not be eliminated from anything.

    • I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.   
    • I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen. 
    • I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
