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.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
