I think we blow the Falcons out on Sunday

[SauceBoss]

The only, ONLY way we win this game is scoring more than 40 points b/c they're going to get atleast 35.

No team has scored 35 on us all year, and you think the fuging Failcans are going to be the first? Wrong.

[PhillyB]

no way we blow them out at home. wishful thinking.

a win isn't out of the range of possibilities though.

[ammofan]

Yeah I have a weird feeling that we are gonna have a huge game this week.

Just win baby - Al Davis

[carolinarolls]

probably already mentioned but Jones did not practice today

[outlaw4]

My gut feeling is that this game will be a lot like the Bears game. The dirty birds will pound the rock to great success and we'll lose the time of possession battle. Fortunately, they don't have Devin Hester but I worry we'll commit the same mistakes we've done in the other games and let another win slip away. If this was a home game, I would feel a lot better of our chances.

We are sweeping Atlanta. I don't know about a blow out though. I think the final score will be 31-26.

Not trying to be negative here, just realistic.

Our defense is too suspect for me to predict us to beat anyone besides lower tier teams that we don't have to worry about either

a.) a very accurate quarterback that passes all day on our defense backs, or

b.) a running back that makes all of our d lineman and linebackers look like swiss cheese.

Our offense is good, but not good enough to get 6 on every drive they have (what offense is in the nfl??). I think that if we end up winning the game against ATL, it will mean our defense played better than it has for pretty much every game this season.

i think you are looking more at the falcons from the past couple years rather than what they are currently.

they don't have the defense or special teams that the bears have. they don't have near the offense that the packers or the saints have.

essentially this is a team that has been lucky to get the wins it has. meanwhile, teams that have played us have been lucky to some out with a win. you look at the two teams that each of us have played and the falcons really didn't have a chance to win those games. against us, the bears and the packers both barely squeaked by with a win.

you want realistic...that's it right there.

You guys are sick. Matt Ryan and MT will tear up your defense on Sunday. I guarantee it. You can't come to the Dome and blow us out since you're nowhere near as good as the Packers, and they're the only team to do so. Also, Matt Ryan has never once in his career lost consecutive games in the dome. I will admit, the Panthers are growing and will be a big threat next year, and the seasons to come, but there is no way you will beat us at home. I'll give you guys a chance in Charlotte though.

Don't take this as a message where I'm talking crap, just saying what I'm thinking. And if by some crazy event you win, I will admit how wrong I was without a doubt, but I know it won't happen because you guys aren't ready to beat us yet. Don't get ahead of yourselves.

No matter how great Cam is, he is still a rookie who has yet to have a come from behind winning drive, and even though his stats are superb, it hardly matters if you can't win games.

Even so, we are also a bit knicked up from the Packers game, so it could become a shootout, I just don't see us losing this game at all. And if we do, I'll be more happy than sad, because it might open Smitty's eyes and we can get new coordinators!

Meh if the Def or ST doesn't do something extraordinary, expect another nailbiter.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Amazing that some Panthers fans think higher of Ryan than most Falcon fans do.

Here's the scoop on Ryan, and if any Falcon fan wants to dispute it, just remember-I'm following your lead.

Smart QB. Accurate QB.

Those are about the limits of his good qualities.

He is somewhat nervous in the pocket. He has a very limited repertoire of throws-his weak arm severely limits Atlanta's offensive playbook. It allows defenses to creep up without fear of being beat deep. That shuts down the short passing game, the screen game, the ability to check down, and most importantly, the run game.

Atlanta's offensive is very similar to what ours was like last year, in terms of teams game plan and prepare for it.

I would rather we not get too blitz heavy this Sunday, Ryan is still a four year vet who likes to throw short-he will be comfortable doing so. Blitz him too much and that opens up their short passing game-the very thing that I mentioned playing coverage will slow down.

False.
