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

[Jeremy Igo]

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?

This won’t make much sense to lose to them if Carolina beat Zona. RR isn’t here anymore, let’s see if Rhule can get the Falcons number.

Any word on Julio Jones?  He left the game last night and I don't think he returned.

Aggravated his hamstring again. I'd be surprised if he plays

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 was told that if we win this game, it will set us back 15 years

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

I mean, you obviously have to let them jump out to a big first half lead.....

What are the chances the Falcons have a new coach and come out actually ready to play?

A win would be sweet - a perfect way to prove the new era of panthers is here to win.
