Official Panthers - Falcons Gameday Thread

Recommended Posts

Today the Carolina Panthers have the opportunity to win the NFC South and clinch a first round playoff bye. This would leave them only two games from the Superbowl. Pretty amazing!

 

But first, the Falcons will do their best to stop that from happening.

 

Where: Georgia Dome

 

When: 1:00

 

On TV: FOX

 

On Radio: 1110WBT

 

Twitter: Follow @CarolinaHuddle , I will be tweeting from the sidelines and press conferences.

 

Keys to a Panthers Victory

 

- Get started early. A few early scores and the dome will empty of Falcons fans. The fan base is demoralized and need a knockout punch.

- Show killer instinct. Do not let a last second throw from Matt Ryan win this game. Atlanta gave San Fran all they could handle, today is far from a given.

- Showcase Cam. Cam always plays great in Atlanta. Let him be the gun slinger that he is. Slowing the game down too much works against his abilities.

We don't want to go into the playoffs with a loss, need to win this game to keep the winning momentum strong. I think the players will be pumped up knowing what's on the line for them. I haven't been this anxious for a Panther game in many years. Let's spank this team and go into the playoffs with a head of steam big Panthers!!

Really can't wait!!!

 

I think everyone knows they will pass more to Tony G and it will make our plan easier. That said, we can't sleep on these dirty birds as they are hungry about this victory.

 

As I see from interviews of Panthers players, they also know how important it is and we are also eager to win it.

 

And we will.

 

Sorry Tony, we will ruin your farewell game.

I want Williams and Tolbert to rule, over and over.  Will be tough as Falcons will stack the box making Cam throw without Smith.  Olsen should have a big day.

 

I would like a big lead and us taking starters out of the game after the 3rd qtr.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
