Must win game

I definitely would have to say if any game fell under the category of must win it would have been against the at the time 1 win Saints who have been a complete mess at QB.

This game in Atlanta could get ugly quick.

I have a feeling it will be two ugly teams. Trying to out ugly each other.

Zero chance this Panthers team wins this game.  We beat them 30-0, which means our soft minded team will think it's a gimme.  The Falcons will want to spoil the semi decent season we are having and get revenge for how badly we embarrassed them in Charlotte.  Falcons 33, Panthers 13.

I don't know that it beats Denny Green.

If we'd beaten the saints I would 100% be sure we'd lose. Now ... I'm not sure. I half expect us to pull out a sloppy win where Bryce isn't as ass as usual.

Okay Bryce has had success vs Atlanta in Atlanta, and the week to week up down pattern we have seen says we are due for an up. And actually the home winning streak has flipped we now have a road winning streak.  
 

You guys can figure it out I know better than to gamble against Vegas and the replay officials.

Unless something has changed over the past week.  I do not see us controlling the game like we did in week 3.  Atlanta, though out of the playoffs, is playing much better than we are. Plus it is in Atlanta.  I am not holding any hope of winning this game.

They have some controversy going on with the staff and Penis. Fans and media are killing the coaching staff. I think. I saw even Sean Salisbury loudly and profanely ranting against their handling of the young QB. He is on the periphery not a big Falcon guy and he is all fired up. 
I looked around YouTube videos and because it was Panthers vs Falcons a lot of homer Falcons stuff came up. They are not very  happy down there. 
Who knows….

We struggle in Atlanta and they are looking for some big time payback.  We are looking for a win, they are looking for revenge.  I'll give them the edge.

Might as well be.  A Mod can update the title to "Must win game (Falcons Game Thread)".  Kind of redundant to make a new one.

The Falcons are the ONE team Bryce has a winning record against!

I know it’s dumb to even dream about the playoffs at this time but here it is

Playoff chances go from 27% to just 8% with a loss against the Falcons.  
 

BRYCE YOUNG IS THE BEST QB ON THE ROSTER LET THAT SINK IN..... WHY WOULD WE WANT TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS JUST TO GET BEAT 48-0 in the WC?

I may be in the minority, but I watch every year because I’m hoping we make the playoffs.  We a competitor pulling for a team in a competitive sport, why would I watch knowing we’re just gonna suck anyway?  Even in years that we know we’re going into it thin, I still want to believe we’ll be one of those miraculous one-year-turnaround stories.  Why else should we be watch if we don’t want to compete?  And yes, I’m aware competing can happen without winning, but the playoffs are the minimum goal in my mind.  Nobody wants to waste their time or resources to lose.

That being said, as long as Bryce is playing, we will not be making the playoffs.

Worse if by some miracle they did...... I know insane.....

 

Bryce's playoff debut would make Jake Delhommes 5 int Cardinals game look like solid offensive play in comparison.....
