The good- 1.5 Take away Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Johnson's scrambles and that's what the Bucs' running backs averaged per carry Sunday (22 carries, 33 yards). It will be tough to do that to Atlanta's Michael Turner.

The bad- 3 Times in a row Atlanta has beaten the Panthers, including 31-17 on Oct.16.

The ugly- 44.6 Newton's quarterback rating the first time he played the Falcons, when he threw for 237 yards and zero touchdowns and three interceptions.

Here's some more bad for ya...

The Falcons have never lost to a team with a losing record, under coach Mike Smith.

The Falcons have not lost back-to-back games this season.

The Falcons have scored 30+ on the Panthers in 3 straight games.

The Falcons are in the Play-off hunt.

Here is some good for you.

The last two years we had any kind of quarterback, we beat Atlanta at our house (2008 and 2009).

The never losing to a team with a losing record is crap. We beat Atlanta in 2009 at BOA 28-19 on November 15th and we were 3-5 at the time.

Falcons have lost plenty of back to back games over the past several years.

The Panthers haven't let Atlanta score 20 points at BOA in 2008 and 2009 before falling apart in 2010.

The Falcons are going to be derailed this week from the hunt.

The never losing to a team with a losing record is crap. We beat Atlanta in 2009 at BOA 28-19 on November 15th and we were 3-5 at the time. I must admit, you're right!

Falcons have lost plenty of back to back games over the past several years. The last time we lost back-to-back games was in November of 2009, which means this year's team hasn't either

The Panthers haven't let Atlanta score 20 points at BOA in 2008 and 2009 before falling apart in 2010.Once again, those teams won't be playing in this game

The Falcons are going to be derailed this week from the hunt.

It should be an entertaining game, I just think Carolina's defense won't be able to stop Atlanta's offense. Carolina's offense will move the ball and score, I just don't think it will be enough.

Truth is turnovers derailed us last time in Atlanta not a great Atlanta offense. Add two PI calls in the endzone and we handed the Falcons the game on a silver platter.

What most folks don't know is that the 2 DTS, Neblett and Kearse, starting this week are better than Fua and McClain who went on IR. We won't shut down Turner but he won't run wild either. Our defense has been suspect but we are actually improving while the Falcons will be without their normal secondary.

I don't think Atlanta will be able to stop the Panthers offense this time. I think the Atlanta offense will score points but I don't think it will be enough. The Falcons are a much better team at home than away. In their three road wins, they have beaten Seattle, Indy, and actually a good win in Detroit. They don't really have a history of playing well in BOA so I think the score will be reversed this time. Carolina 31-Atlanta 17.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
