now we're officially allowed to laugh at the falcons

That superbowl broke them. Never the same after that.

Last week, teams that scored 39 points and had zero turnovers were 440-0 going back to 1933 when turnovers were first recorded, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

This is gold.

Eh, I don't know that the Super Bowl broke Carolina so much as 2015 was an outlier year where everything fell right and the team just regressed back to the Rivera/Richardson-led mean thereafter, both in the coaching and in the roster-building (crappy OL, etc). The Falcons continue to be stocked with talent ("their entire OL are first-rounders!" one year, etc) but continue to blow leads and choke in unprecedented manner.

Any way of it I feel for those guys on a human level but as a fan... chuckles all around.

Hasn't Carolina only beat the Falcons once since the 2015 season? Won't be surprised if they sweep the Panthers this year.

The difference between their early game and late game performance was jaw-dropping.

Watching the first half, I was thinking to myself "man I screwed up picking the Bears" but it didn't turn out that way at all.

I am hoping Matt Ryan gets hurt at some point so we can avoid the late season surge. Tired of mediocrity, and don't care if this sounds messed up. We can definitely get Trevor Lawrence and parlay matt ryan for high picks to replace our disgusting db play.

Your game yesterday reminded me of a Panthers-Bucs game from 2012. Dealing with that in consecutive weeks, I’d have thrown something. 

[Mr. Scot]

Come on, man. Even Panther fans aren't going to wish injury on Matt Ryan.

 

 

 

(yes, I can see the joke coming)

[Basbear]

I would not care if the panthers were 0-3, the ways Failcons have lost games is legendary and should be told hundreds of years form now. 

They lost in so many special ways. The offensive having a late lead and throwing 3 times, that resulted in 11sec in time of possession. Special teams missing kicks and penalties. Defensive is biggest offender at this, can not stop laughing at them.

That’s what I was thinking. Don’t laugh at them too much. If they end up with Trevor, there’s gonna be a lot of sad folks here for the next decade.

Ehh they had Vick and then Ryan. Falcons won't win anything soon whether they have Trevor or not.

Panthers have a young team, new staff, were not supposed to be competitive. Falcons have talent all over the place and keep finding new and exciting ways to mess up. They are the Clippers of the NFL.

“New and exciting” haha!

That’d be OK. They torpedo a good pick and hand us an even better one. Not upset with that.
