Final Game Day thread Panthers @ Falcons

[Squirrel]

Finally this long season will be over with. Let me say thank you Fox for the memories and wish you a great future except when you play the Panthers.

Now lets win this final game!

While the Falcons have clinched a playoff spot, home field advantage is still at stake with a win today.

New Orleans could get home field if Atlanta loses, so there is no way the Falcons are going to rest starters or back off.

For all you fantasy geeks, the Panthers have never been able to stop Michael Turner and Roddy White has his way most of the time as well. Playing the Falcons defense, or anyone's defense for that matter, against the Panthers will get you some points today as well.

Meanwhile, the John Fox coaching staff and the team are probably happy this has all come to an end and they (the team and the coaches) will likely be as loose as we've seen them in years. Who knows, Carolina might score 17 today.

I expect a wide open playbook. They will be playing for the fun of it today.

Could have been doing that for a while.

maybe, but Pickles is still the QB so don't expect much.

In all fairness, Squirrel did say the playbook would be wide open. He made no claim or mention that anyone would read it, try it or attempt to execute it.

Throw the kitchen sink at 'em.

Any one know if Armanti is active today?

Anyone else going to the game?

Panthers win 20-17 on a last second FG, this is the players SB. Nothing to lose, they will go ALL OUT. A chance to put a dent into ATL's home field? Division rival? its going to be a hard fought game. One thing is, Fox has never beaten Mike Smith and Matt Ryan at home. 0-2

[Herb]

On Sunday NFL Countdown apparently they're going to announce where Harbaugh MIGHT and MIGHT not go after the commercial. Hah.

[BlanksKarma]

I don't see the panthers pulling out a victory today, the Falcons have WAY too much to play for. I do think the Panthers start the game with a lot of passion and fire. To bad that flame will be extinguished in the second half.
