Official Panthers - Falcons Gameday Thread

Recommended Posts

By monstrous I mean 9 fugging sacks. Even still if the Falcons don't botch the snap they have a chance at a BS play to get down field. Why would that have happened in the first place? Because we played way too safe and didn't convert a first.

 

 

It's pretty damn well known our offense needs to pick it up. Of course I'm glad we won and we have the bye. But I don't want us to have to go through this scenario in the playoffs. I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

 

Sorry, I pay attention to the entire game. Not pick and choose what I think will feed my belief perception. The offense put up 21 points that was enough for a win. If we're going to pick and choose, one can say if the Defense hadn't allowed an easy td in the first few minutes of the game, the Panthers would have won by 8.

 

Sometimes as fans, we must realize that everything isn't about the Defense and Everything isn't about the Offense, sometimes, there is this thing called Karma or positive energy, meaning that when a team believes in themselves and things are going their way, even the things that should go against them, don't.

 

You Panthers fans should be quite familiar with that seeing that your team suffer from the other side of that coin for years since 2008 when they simply couldn't break out of that negative Karma or energy around them.

 

i don't know about some of you but I am always humbled by this game called football because it is a lot like life.

Rivera put a ton of faith in the defense.That same scenario cost us 4 games last year. I'm not picking and choosing by saying our last offensive drive was horrendous because it was. And actually the offense put up 14 points. Expecting us to score more is not a bad thing and the offense should expect more of themselves if they want to go to the Superbowl.

Your Defense first drive was way to easy for Matty Ice. We can go at this all night because it's perception.

 

The bottomline is football is play on both sides of a ball. I am just exstatic that this season the Defense decided to show up. If they didn't, your team might have ended the season at 8-8; seeing the last two season without them, the offense improved by one.

 

Let's just give this team Cangrats and call it a day. :)

If you payed attention to the entire game, then you would know that the offense only put up 14 points. If the Defense doesn't get a pick six, then using your logic, the falcons could have won by six points.

 

Thanks for playing, though.

Best things I saw today:

 

* All the BLUE !!!  Thanks for driving down and helping Take Over The Dome!!!!

* The Falcons video board operator putting up a "Thanks for your support in 2014" tag at the beginning of the game.  It was quickly taken down and replaced with the same tag reading "2013" for the rest of the game.

* The Publix sponsorship tag promoting "come out and tailgate next week for your chance to win...".  You'd think that someone would have double-checked the spots that were played on the last game of the season before airing it to the crowd

 

* Proper respect shown by all fans to Tony G for his special presentation, etc.  Nice guy, deserves the crowd's applause.

 

99% of all the Falcons fans I saw today were decent. No trash talking, etc.  A little bitter about how their season played out, but that's to be expected -- they were still out there to support their team, and they stuck around for the most part until the end of the game. 

 

* Jerry R giving a wave and a thumbs up to the crowd.  Team president working the front row up and down the field, talking to pretty much everyone and thanking them for coming in.

Every article I've read tonight agrees with what the announcers said (and how the Dome felt) -- the Panthers Fans were there IN FORCE and making themselves heard.

 

Let's keep that up for next season, folks.  Tampa's a great place to watch an away game, and it's not too far away.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
