I agree that time of possession is going to be more important to the Panthers this game. Cam did show a willingness to check-down, when necessary, so if he continues to do that and sustain some longer drives, I give the Panthers a better chance. However, if the Falcons control the time of possession, it could get ugly.

Just don't see the Oline for the Panthers being able to sustain drives. 

I'm also predicting a falcon victory on TATF,  it'd be chickenpoo not to do it here as well.

Really curious what @Ball4life and @theDIRTYcode2 has to say here.

I don't feel it this weekend, too many devastating injuries last week plus we can never cover Juilo well.  He'll kill us all day on those quick releases from Ryan with slants across the middle for easy first downs.  Then there's Sanu.  We better not be Ridley's coming out party, but with Capt. Munneryln in the nickle, we're likely fugged.

Donte Jackson will likely come down to earth on Sunday, but be better for it the next week against Cincy.

This game literally depends on our pass rush. If they show up like they did in Dallas, we will win. If not Julio will go for 300 on us. Our offense will be able to put 24 points, but if we can't get to Ryan the Falcons will dump 35 on us

Atl’s losses on defense are worse than our losses on the o-line. Their rb is also nursing an injury and didn’t practice yesterday. 

With that being said, I’m still not optimistic that we win in Atl, I think Jones continues his abuse of our secondary and Ron continues his abuse of time management.

 

Atl- 23

Car- 20

How? Counting Norwell, panthers are probably down 4 of 5 starters from last years playoff game. Losing Jones is a big for the falcons, but there's a really good chance that Cam can't take advantage of that because of the Oline.

Panthers win 27-17 they are past due for a victory in ATL

[usmcpanthers]

Im in the 27-24 camp, atl wins. We think they will force feed Julio but they actually spread it around to Ridley and Sanu and we go down quickly. This puts us in 1-dimensional pass only mode. The oline continues to kill every drive and comeback attempt, but Cam wills us back into contention. We get screwed by either a holding call or a turnover on the last drive, much like the saints playoff game.

[ladypanther]

Luke & Company to the rescue.

20-13....Panthers with the upset.

So much depends on who starts. The left side has solidified, so we're really only talking about the right side. If Larsen gets the start at RG, it won't be too bad. The problem is Amini and chemistry. That right side is gonna be dicey all game. We really don't know what Robinson or Clark can do. Too many questions, honestly, which is the main reason I had us scoring only 13. But we'll see.

Hell I don't know....if the offense gets it's poo together, and the defense shows it can survive without Deebo and Keanu, I think we could win by 10. At the same time, I can see us losing by 10 or more. We've had some extra rest and time to work on things, so if we don't show improvement on offense this season could go down the shitter in a hurry. With the current shape of y'alls O-line, if we don't get to Cam then we are in really bad trouble. 

So.....27 - 17, teams to be determined. 

[1989]

Y’all are a sad sack of sissies.

 

Panthers win by 10.

The left side has 2 starts between them and haven't played on the road yet.  The RT will be making his first start for the panthers,  Larsen only adds 15 starts, that's 17 starts [for the panthers] between 4 players. Be really surprised if the Oline plays well.

I'll be surprised too, but I don't think it will be the disaster some are predicting. Again, too many questions.
