Safety Jaylinn Hawkins, who suffered a concussion Sunday against Cincinnati, is in the league's protocol and Atlanta has already ruled him out against the Panthers. Starting cornerback A.J. Terrell, who left on the eighth play of Sunday's 35-17 loss because of a hamstring injury, is now week-to-week, according to head coach Arthur Smith.

One of the Falcons' top depth players in the secondary, Dee Alford, is day-to-day after missing last week's practice and game because of a hamstring injury.

Looking at the rest of our schedule the Panthers could win 7 games and the NFCS. That would be the nightmare scenario. Even if things don't go well, we could still win 5 games imo.

I would be ecstatic if the Panthers won the NFCS.

That would have been my dream scenario before this season, they get rid of Rhule, benched Baker,Baker,Baker, rode with PJ and win the division with Charlotte native Wilks at the helm.

Not standing behind these guys is hating. Tepper obviously didn't want to do it but he made necessary change only a couple games in. He listened.

He and they deserve our support. They played their asses off.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
