ATLANTA: This won't be easy

[DaveThePanther2008]

Going into Atlanta against a team that hates us and we hate them. 

 

Some think Atlanta is going to cruise into the off-season and give a half hearted performance. 

 

Atlanta is not going to roll over for us.  They have a few more weapons then the last time we played them and it is in their house.  We are playing for the #2 and possibly the #1 seed.   I think they are going to be as motivated as ever to put us in a wildcard position.

 

I will say that I don't see a let down from our defense, seems they haven't forgotten 2012 trip to Atlanta. The defense is playing lights out and our offense is a bit banged up.  Smitty is out and Hixon is going to have to step up and make the plays Smitty does.

 

Make no mistake the Dirty Birds are going to be motivated.   We are in the playoffs, lets keep the #2 slot and KICK THEIR ASS.

 

Get er done Carolina.

 

Go Panthers

yeah but do they hate carolina more than the taints? ATL loses, carolina is the division winner, ATl wins, the Saints are the division winner.

[Rubi]

They have weak trench players. Peters also came down with a serious leg injury. We will beat the Falcons up front on both sides....tough to compete when the big boys up front can't win their matchups

few games are easy, even fewer division games are easy.

I'm sure they want to win more than they care about who they dislike more.

[The Huddler]

Those that are cocky going into this game are morons. Be humble but confident. We havent won the division yet.. and I'm sure ATL will pleay hard.

Going to Atlanta for the last game, after they lose a heart breaker on Monday night, with the division in the line when they can play spoiler? Easy this will not be!

They are going to give us everything they have because their season is over after Sunday. They will want us to remember it...

Yeah, there's no doubt that this isn't going to be a pushover game, but then again, there aren't many, if any, in the NFL. It is a game that I think we can win. Although, some may differ with my opinion, but I think that without Steve Smith, it will be a little harder. Atlanta's defense can scheme against us, totatly different now. They may play man press on our WR's and blitz Cam all day. We will have to be able to adapt during the game, like any other game, and take what the defense gives us. I want the NFC South Title! Bring it home Panthers...

Nope it won't be easy, I think SF took them for granted last night and they almost paid dearly for it.

Atlanta is no push over with S-Jax back, that guy is still a beast. can't overlook a division rival ever. 

[cardiackat88.]

After week 3, we have been slamming the hell out of bad teams all year, just like any good team should do.

Yes Atlanta is a division rival and yes Atlanta should not be taken lightly, just like any team in the NFL.

However, this is not the Panthers we are accustomed to from years past.

This team is not the team we are used to seeing, that drops a big turd when needing the wins or big plays the most.

[CardiacCats]

And it's Tony Gonzales's last game ever. He's gonna be out for blood and since they have Roddy White this time we can't put as much attention on TG. We're better, but this game won't be easy

[iamhubby1]

My mantra all year. atl. is not a very good team. We are a very good team. We win 24-10.

IF, they can protect matty, they may put up a fight. Otherwise, they dink and dunk their way to a loss. The ONLY way we lose this game is if we lay an egg. That ain't gonna happen.

Confident? YES! So fuggin' what. Their defense is still a mess.

[jtnc]

Our defense is better than San Fran's imo.
