Final Game Day thread Panthers @ Falcons


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

While the Falcons have clinched a playoff spot, home field advantage is still at stake with a win today.

New Orleans could get home field if Atlanta loses, so there is no way the Falcons are going to rest starters or back off.

For all you fantasy geeks, the Panthers have never been able to stop Michael Turner and Roddy White has his way most of the time as well. Playing the Falcons defense, or anyone's defense for that matter, against the Panthers will get you some points today as well.

Meanwhile, the John Fox coaching staff and the team are probably happy this has all come to an end and they (the team and the coaches) will likely be as loose as we've seen them in years. Who knows, Carolina might score 17 today.

Panthers win 20-17 on a last second FG, this is the players SB. Nothing to lose, they will go ALL OUT. A chance to put a dent into ATL's home field? Division rival? its going to be a hard fought game. One thing is, Fox has never beaten Mike Smith and Matt Ryan at home. 0-2

    • Totally.  I'm less comparing them as players and using him as a reference point.  I legitimately think Bryce is capable of being a better NFL QB than Kyler has been.  Kyler has no clutch gene and doesn't seem to have a grip on the locker room, or much love for the game.  Much different body types/strengths and weaknesses.   Crazy to think-- but Kyler is at year 7 as a 1.01...38-48-1 on his career, 0-1 in the playoffs. He's somehow played well enough to keep it going but crazy to think he's barely even touched the playoffs.  Hasn't done anything that special for the Cards.  That's what you don't want to be stuck in.  Cardinals are in softball purgatory with him.    
    • It's not analysis. There was no attempt to analyze anything or even convey new information at all.
    • As to the topic, I've complained before about "superstar" mentality, i.e. the notion that you can win championships with one superstar player surrounded by a group of mediocre fill ins. It just doesn't work. The Manning-Brady rivalry was something of a showcase for that. The Colts general approach focused everything on Manning. The Patriots? Oh, they also had a superstar quarterback but they built a complete team, especially on the defensive side. This sort of thing is why I've argued many times that "system quarterback" should be to considered a description, not an insult. I know everybody loves the "MVP" athletic types, and they're fun to watch, but that's not necessarily the true path to consistent winning and championship glory.
