Why the Panthers Will Win on Sunday.

[Dpantherman]

We do this every week, but this week I feel like we have the better matchups. Wouldn't it be fair to say the the Saints offense is better than the falcons? Outside of 2 big plays (blown coverage and a missed tackle), the Panthers defense held to. Technically, had Williams not fumble, we may be having a different discussion. But lets focus on the next game. The Panthers Defense will shut down the Falcons. The Panthers will once again run the ball all day, and the Falcons defense will fail, because they aren't as good on defense as the Saints, or us for that matter. Jake Delhomme plays his best games against the Falcons, just like earlier this year. Jake will surprise some people on Sunday, Panthers win 27-10.

We are more than good enough to beat the Falcons. Matt Ryan has played pretty rough the last three weeks and their defense is really nothing special.

Granted, that's not considering things like playcalling, Jake's performance, etc.

if Fox is planning on the same gameplan as the last 2 weeks (which does give us the best chance).....then the loss of T. Davis will prove to be huge imo.

We are just as good as, if not better than Atlanta. I just worry about the energy they'll have, after the emotional let down in New Orleans. I mean, they win the next four, they're 7-5 going into a possible upset game in New England. But they have to get over the loss to the Saints, and re-focus every inch of energy into this game against the Falcons. Here's hoping they can do just that.

The Davis loss is huge regardless, but we are so thick at LB it will be ok. Seriously, we will not only win. but I say we win big. Look at their defense, they cannot stop us.

I think we can win. But honestly I could see something similar to last week happening.

Our superior rush offense dominates them in the first half, defense holds them in check. Then once ATL adjusts after half time, Delhomme will hold the offense back, we won't be able to score, thus letting the defense down as usual. Then eventually the defense gets tired. And you guys know the rest.

We've had a thread like this before every game this season, including before all five of our losses.

Why should I believe it this time?

[BankerBird]

As many times as I've been to Charlotte for this game, I've never been fully confident that the Falcons would win. This game is no different. Williams and Stewart worry me big time. I think Fox will try and ram the ball down our throats to take some of the heat off Delhomme.

I think we will stop carolina's rushing duo and Turner will run wild because TD is not there to stop him which is a huge loss for the panthers. I think Ryan will be better this game, I just hope we get after the quarterback like we did against Washington.
