Panthers vs. Falcons Game Day Open Thread

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons, Nov 23, 2008 4:15 PM EST

It's Falcons week yet again Panther fans as our beloved 8-2 Panthers visit the A-T-L in a rematch that should add another chapter to the Cardiac Cat legend. So what will the Panther offense feature this week? Will it be another huge rushing performance from Smash-n-Dash? Or will we see a reemergence of the deadly pass-n-catch between QB Jake Delhomme and WR Steve Smith.

Will DE Julius Peppers continue his reign of terror in opposing backfields or will the Falcons John Abraham outshine him?

No help...

from Detroit.

Well

it has to be some consolation to us that Detroit has put up 20 so far on Tampa.

And maybe Culpepper will

work some late magic.

Jarrett is active

Hackett is going to ride the bench this afternoon. Looks like Jarrett is going to get another shot.
