Will you root for the Falcons?

I never thought I'd do it but I want a prime time game next week or at the very least, a competitive, meaningful Week 17 game for us. If the Falcons lose to the Saints, the latter locks up the division and will likely rest their starters like they did against us in '09. By starters, I mean Drew Brees. If you want a prime time game, these are stuff you should be rooting for this week:

- I could be wrong but the Cowboys/Giants aren't eligible to compete again on SNF since they already have done so. But if they are, root for a Cowboys win and a Giants loss.

- Root for the Detroit Lions to win, which would lock them up a playoff spot and make their Week 17 game against Greenbay meaningless for both sides. This would also eliminate Seattle and Arizona and takes San Diego out of postseason contentions. I guess you can also root for a Denver win, which I think locks the division up for them.

- A Bengals loss. This combined with a Giants loss gives the Jets the wildcard considering the Bengals certainly won't beat them in SOS.

- A San Fransisco loss as obviously if we are rooting for a Saints loss, a 49ers loss would at least give them more reason to continue fighting as the #2 seed would still be on the line.

I'm pretty sure that is it, leaving us as the only viable prime time option with the Saints fighting for the division and number two seed and of course, Cameron Newton.

Actually, just checked, we play at 1 PM but could be moved to 4:15. Ah well. No prime time glory for us. But I still want the Falcons to win. I don't want a useless last Panthers game.

Yes, I'm sadly rooting for the Falcons. Wifey has Matty Ice and Roddy White and she's playing in the Championship in our Fantasy League... $250 on the line. I went 11-2 and then SHE bounced me out of the playoffs. Sad but true.

Go Falcons!

I don't really want the taints to win another SB, so the harder the rd they have to travel the better. I think that the Saints should beat that a$$, but I'm hoping for an upset.

Hell no

this.

The Saints are already in the playoffs. There's still a shot the Falcons could miss out, and that would make me too happy. So, if I have to choose between the two, I'm going with the Saints. I just cant stand the falcons. I hope Matt Ryan goes out there and has his worst performance of the season.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
