Perfect storm for the Panthers to be a trap game vs. Atlanta

Double post.

nakamura is going to get exposed.

we'd better come in playing man coverage or ryan will absolutely destroy us.

I think our familiarity with playing Atlanta will help us. We know their tendencies on offense and defense(even w/ new coordinators) and I think we should have a really good game plan on both sides of the ball, especially with the extra days to prepare.

If we don't then that's 100% on the coaching staff.

I really hope the op is right about this. If we fall 1-2 in the division we can basically wrap it up because it will be tough to climb out.

Julio, Roddy, and Gonzalez with Ryan finding and connecting with one of them 60-70% of the time...I haven't seen anything with our defense that suggests we can stop that, much less their running game. Our only hope is that our offense can outscore them and posses the ball and that we are even or positive in turnovers. Atlanta is legit, a W in that game would be huge.

A W in that game would bring all of these nay-sayer fans back on the wagon....

forget bumping at the line, our cbs better go for the tackle! that big cushion stuff will eat us up as it has been doing. this game and the rest of the divisionals are crucial

not if they aren't consistent at winning. grudge wins aren't enough to make the playoffs

I predict we'll get some moral victories

Our tendencies this year have been completely different than in the past 3 years.

Too many of those last year, would like some actual victories

[FastNFurious]

So we are 3 games into a season and already we are talking about being a "trap"for Atlanta.... guess we should find a box to put the 2012 season in....RIP

Stop, just stop. We suck, we will not beat the Falcons period. Infact ill tell you how much faith I have in this team. I have more faith in the Browns beating the Ravens in Baltimore than I do us beating the Falcons. We are a 5 win team this year at best. Here it goes Saints, Seahawks, Raiders, Bucs at home, and the Chiefs. 5 win team, no more, no less. But the bright side is it might FINALLY get Hurney fired, we will get a top 5 pick AND Sean Mcd will be long gone. Maybe if we are lucky Rivera also

[smitty_89]

Lol no. The Falcons offense is LEGIT. They are going to blow us open. I PROMISE you. Quote me on this. We will get absolutely trashed. 40+ points.

I will and when we win I will make a thread to discuss your quote.
