If ATL goes to the SB, I Wouldn't Mind It

Why?

Lets see, because it doesn't feel like this organization has learned anything after losing the SB, followed by not only missing the playoffs the next season, but going under .500 (last time that happened was 2007 Bears. 2007). Mike Shula is still the offensive coordinator. Graham Gano still hasn't been cut (they're going to run with the injury excuse), and honestly there's a little bit of doubt that our draft and FA isn't going to go the way we would like it to, even if the chance is there

Atlanta forces changes. If they just get there, we will no longer be the big dogs of the NFCS. We ran it three years straight and they got tired of that poo. They will be the favorites, the most confident, they will have the throne. Patience will be cut in half to win and to win now. If they dont, Gettleman will continue folding his arms with the Cam is only 28 attitude and the players and coaches will still feel they run the division

this train of thought operates under the assumption that the coaching staff and FO actually care about divisional rivalries like the fans do.  there are almost undoubtedly panthers coaches and personnel who have friends on the falcons coaching staff and in the front office.  most likely they're just another team whom we just happen to play twice a year.

if you're going to pray for something shitty to happen so people get fired you're probably best off just hoping for the panthers to lose a lot because that's much more tangible.

Although I disagree with the sentiments here, it's a fact that Thomas Davis is here because we needed him to spy on Mike Vick after he kept kicking our collective asses.

Win your division first, you're at least top 4 seed and a home playoff game. 6 games out of 16 is against your division. We were 1-5 against our division. ATL went defensive HC and built up that defense cause they know they had to face Cam Newton twice a year, Brees twice a year, and eventually Winston twice a year.

Panthers fans that do not absolutely despise ATL surprise me. Again, could you imagine Bears fans pulling for GB or Redskins fans pulling for Dallas? 

I think it's some sort of tribalism spilling over from SEC guys used to rooting for their own conferences.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
