Also, we are 3.5 point underdogs....wtf

well if my limited knowledge of sports betting serves me well, that means we are really only half-point 'dawgs. home team is always gifted a 3 point advantage. and honestly with all the playoff intrigue surrounding our game, im comfortable being half-point underdogs. The Falcons are gonna play out of their minds fighting for their playoff lives after a loss to the Saints.

This offense sputters and has WRs who are trying to get into sync with Cam. I say play the starters for the entire game. 

yeah we need to play starters the entire game and treat this like a post-season pre-playoffs game. its a preseason game before the playoffs. a practice game for us. lol. see if we can beat a playoff caliber team with no real consequence if we dont. our offense needs the reps to gel. our coordinators needs to try out concepts and develop an overall playoffs gameplan. Ron needs to use this game to hone his game/time management for the playoffs. etc. this needs to be a glorified practice with potential seeding and division crown implications.

This isn't the same team that played the Vikings.

this i can agree with. Not that your losses to the Vikes and Pats dont matter, but you guys are a completely different team now. just like the Panthers are different than we were early in the season. You guys are still a horrible matchup for us, but so are the Rams. But my point is that the reasons both our teams struggled earlier in the season are largely irrelevant now.

Yup. It's not that I think the Saints are so much better than the Panthers. The Saints are just a terrible matchup for them.

When we did it 2 years ago we were "arrogant and cocky" ... We're low key this year. Let them have the spot light
