Yeah i recalled hearing him say it once, I was quite annoyed. I made a post in the schedule topic about it.

Such a slap in the face. He was so used to slobbering all over their junk he forgot who the actual division champs were. There was such much press on them it pretty much doesn't matter who wins the division.

It's something we will have to put up with for a long time now, as far these douchebags know the division is between the falcons/saints no matter what.

It's just the worst kind of journalism. Make these men actually earn their salaries instead of just standing up there talking out of their asses, your previous NFL fame should only carry you so far.

Seriously it's these guy's job to know football, how do they mess poo up like that? If we know who all the champs were and we all have jobs, school, families, friends, other hobbies..etc., it shouldn't be that hard.

There are only 8 teams in the nfl that are division champs, it's not that hard to remember!!!!

I guess we should be used to it by now, it seems like the Panthers are slighted in some way every time they are brought up by the national media. Did you notice that immediately after the Panthers "state of the franchise" on NFLN they played a clip as an intro to the interview with Samari Rolle showing him pick off Jake 3x and mock Muhammad's TD celebration....

Our franchise is a joke right now, guys. We turned the ball over six times in one of the most embarrassing playoff games in NFL history. We have to earn any respect we get ten fold, and for a reason. Plus, we're small market.

While most of the guys on TV basically wing it and don't do their homework, his comment that the Falcons won the NFCS is very telling.

It speaks to the fact that Atlanta's performance was so noticeable that he assumed they won the division, and ours was basically forgettable - especially that playoff embarrassment.

Unfortunately our schedule is tougher this year, one of the toughest in the NFL according to ESPN.

I heard them say the Falcons were the 2008 NFC South division champions at least 2x on the NFL network schedule special.... :confused:

Just watched my recording of it. Solomon Wilcots said it once and that was it.

I mean the NFL gave ATL one SNF, one MNF and one non-west coast 4pm game.

The Panthers got one SNF, one MNF, one Thursday, and two non-west 4pm games.

So at least the schedulers gave the Panthers more respect

probably because the schedules actually have to work to keep their jobs

The entire fortune of the 2009 falcons depends on three things

1. Michael Turner's Health - When a RB hits 390 carries, as shown here, their carries the following year generally decline by about fifty percent, if you remove the Ricky Williams outlier. Turner was right there at 400 if you include the playoffs, which is an absolutely insane number to give any running back in today's nfl. Falcons fans would be foolish to be hopeful that he'll be able to contribute the exact same way in 09 as he did in 08.

2. Matt Ryan - Even though he faded down the stretch, Ryan was pretty good. However, now there's a year of tape on him, their cutesy little offense isn't going to surprise anyone, and they go up against the AFC and NFC East instead of the NFC North and AFC West. Those are monumental differences, in terms of calibre of coach, team, organization, and personnel.

3. The Defense - Their defense is atrocious, there is an embarrassing lack of starting talent on it, and the fact that they didn't give up 40 points a game last year is an act of god. They need to have the greatest draft in franchise history to find a LB, C, S, DT, and DE. Quite honestly they should go BPA defense in every single round and hope for the best.

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
