Atlanta is coming off an MINI bye and division clinch, but also from an exhausting win against the NFL's media darlings and a team that's had our number for a few years. Carolina is coming off a disgusting loss to the Kansas City Chiefs who many felt where the worst team in football this season.

So the Narrative, can a playoff bound team refocus after a short vacation, or will a team with nothing to play for get angry and decide to take it out on their rivals.

Be honest I have no idea, Atlanta has played really well during their roads games this season and I expect the same this weekend. The question then becomes can the Panthers put up 30 or more points which will be needed to win. I think so but we will see.

It's not like we played terrible against Atlanta. Going in their home and putting up 28 points in a loss isn't all that bad considering they have the best record in the NFC.

5 Games After Atlanta - Panthers averaged 16.6 points.

Last 3 games - Panthers averaged 24 points

As long as we play closer to the last 3 games we have a good chance of hanging in there and hopefully have a different outcome this time.

Atlanta reminds me of a poor man's version of the Packers from last year. Put all their effort into their regular season 15-1 record barely eeking out close games. When the playoffs came they had a week off with homefield advantage and promptly got exposed by a hungry Giants team coming into town.

Of course the Giants went on to win the superbowl but they were hot going into the postseason.

Bye week is a kiss of death. Ask the countless teams.

      Josh Norris: Panthers-Garrett Wilson trade options

      I have nothing against Mike Evans, it's that he keeps saying it's ridiculous for me to think T-Mac will be a better player than Evans, based on Evans totality of his career statistical output. They're not the same thing, at all.  Basically what he's arguing is that it would be insane for someone to say any RB coming into the league is going to be better than Frank Gore.  There are going to be LOTS of RBs over the years who are better than Gore but will never make the HOF.   Or how about comparing a QB to Rivers or Eli?  There are going to be a lot of QBs that you'd predict will be better, and for a period of time will be, but they won't be able to do it long enough to have the same career as those guys. Longevity of great play does not equal an elite player, it equals an elite career.  If you're building a team for one season, health aside and looking at peak performance, there are way too many WRs over the last decade that I'd take over Evans to consider him a true elite WR in my mind. For example, I looked it up, here is where he has finished every season ranked in Receptions and Yards 2014 - 36th in Rec and 19th in Yds 2015 - 30 and 11 2016 - 6 and 4 2017 - 23 and 15 2018 - 17 and 3 2019 - 36 and 13 2020 - 32 and 18 2021 - 28 and 22 2022 - 25 and 13 2023 - 24 and 9 2024 - 28 and 23 He's played 11 seasons, only twice finished higher than 23rd in receptions and 3 times in the Top 10 in yards, 5 of the 11 outside the Top 15. He had a great CAREER, but outside of 2016 and 2018, he really wasn't ever an elite WR outside of being an elite red zone threat.

      I’m not sure what Mike Evans did to offend you but if we draft a WR at 8 that is Mike Evans I think everyone in Carolina would be ecstatic
