It's Falcons Week Ya'll - Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons thread

That's right, it is Falcons week.

 

In 2020 the Carolina Panthers are a young upstart playing hard and overachieving. The Falcons are exactly the opposite. Old, established, and 0-4. 

However, they will get a win eventually, and that makes them dangerous. They could be eyeballing Carolina as a "get right" game right now, as other teams on the schedule have done. 

 

What are your thoughts on this game?

Entering Monday Night Football, Julio Jones was considered questionable. His night would end after just one half of play.

The Falcons announced early in the second half that their star receiver would not return against the Packers after re-aggravating the hamstring injury that initially jeopardized his status.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported that Jones was dragged down awkwardly on a play in the first half and was in some discomfort on the sideline. He added that Jones stretched it out and came back into the game, but never re-emerged from the locker room after halftime.

The 31-year-old receiver has been dealing with the same nagging hamstring issue off and on in recent weeks. Jones missed Week 3 against the Bears because of the injury and was limited in practice in the days leading up to Monday's contest.

Prior to its premature end, Jones' night did feature a bit of history as the multi-time Pro Bowler passed Falcons legend Roddy White to become the franchise's all-time receptions leader (809). He accomplished the feat in the first quarter after hauling in his first target for eight yards. He caught all four of his targets for 32 yards.

 

 

He will miss practice at the very least. 

 

If he doesn't play, the game becomes much more winnable for the Panthers, obviously.

Is Ridley back or is he out again?

i saw him on the field but it seems ryan was favoring some cat named gage on 3rd down instead of calvin.

i can't stand the falcons and it feels like fighting someone who has beat you up the last 10 times you fought.

if we win this game its gonna be so frikkin awesome

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
