IT'S OUR TURN

We have had over the years a chance to lock up a playoff spot in the final week only to lose it at home.

This is our chance to turn the tables and we get to do it against Atlanta.

I think the defense will be good enough to contain Atlanta. We won't shut them out but I do believe that Norman will keep Jones in check. We almost had them last time.

The accident put the NFL into perspective with Cam. It seemed like Cam was having fun and that is going to make a difference in this game.

Go Panthers

I know this is crazy and expect it to be close but what IF I mean IF shula actually opens up the playbook and goes and wants to score every drive not control time of possession it would be crazy to think we have a good play caller but it's what ever we all know that will never happen

Big mistake if we win, as ive said in another thread. I have 0 confidence this team can make a deep playoff run, yes "anything can happen" but thats just like me goong to Vegas and saying "i know the odds are GREATLY stacked against me, anything can happen." Well ofcourse "anything CAN happen" but what are the actual odds it WILL actually happen?

Having said that, we stand more to gain from losing then winning. If we lose we A. Secure a top 10 (slight chance at the 8th pick) in the draft and B. We drop our hated NFCs rival the Falcns all the way to early-mid 20s in the draft.

If I truely believed we had a legit shot at a deep playoff run, I would be all for going all in. Im sorry, but in my opinion its not worth dropping that far in the draft for the "moral victory" of saying we made the playoffs. I would love for the Falcons to be the team we screw by dropping them so far in the draft while watching them be one and done in the playoffs.

You would be fooling yourself if you didnt think the Falcons brass arent thinking the same thing. They are going to fire Mike Smith (already been reported), why would they want to make the playoffs and hurt their rebuild by dropping that much in the draft

This isn't the NBA. Dropping in the first isn't going to make or break next season.

But if it bothers u just look at it as a win win. Either we get to watch at least an extra week of our beloved Panthers or we get a top 10 pick

Its not about just making a deep playoff run. Its hard to establish a winning culture when youre constantly shifting from 7-9 to 11-5 to 7-9 like we did in the Fox era. Even if we get in with a losing record, being able to win our division two years in a row is going to do wonders towards establishing ourselves as a consistent playoff team IMO. Especially when i think we will be the early favorite to win the division next year

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
