Darqueze Dennard and AJ Terrell are going to be out (IR & COVID), so there goes their #1 & #2 CBs. Kazee just popped his achilles, so there goes the guy they have that can play any of the DB positions. Their two starting safeties, Neal & Allen, both missed this last game with injuries. Julio and Ridley, their #1 & #2 WRs, were questionable for the game before playing. Julio and Neal have hamstring issues which are going to nag them this week. Their kicker missed last week as did Tak McKinley.

Couple that with their OL being suspect (especially that right side with Lindstrom & McGary), the team has an opportunity to keep the momentum going while the Falcons deal with all of these injuries and more on a shorter week.

He's also in his contract year.  That injury is going to cost him millions.

Here is my thoughts, I want the Panthers to win, of course. However, you know if we win, it will be one of them "Well you beat us only because we had injuries" Play us when we are healthy. Sigh.

We going need DJ to have a coming out party on Sunday for this to work.  I feel it may be a shoot out if Julio comes back.

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? 

 

 

So this is what will happen:

ATL is 0-4, Julio Jones is injured, all their safeties are injured, the national media will all pick the Panthers to win (similar to the way they chose Cardinals last week) 

Come Sunday the Falcons will beat the Panthers

That has been their MO so far.  With this new bunch all bets are off.

Considering they automatically get 3 points for being the home team, that ain't good news for them. 

Is that still automatic this year without fans at games?
