PrintAtlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers, Nov 15, 2009 1:00 PM EST
It's time for the back half of our annual home and home with the Falcons. The Panthers fell to the Falcons 28-20 in the first clash at their nest so the Panthers at the very least are looking to avoid the sweep. The bigger emphasis must be to beat a quality team while playing well, gain some confidence and focus on making a second half run.
We have sunny skies today and that makes me happy. Sure the weather in Charlotte could be very different from mine here 3 hours away. My point is that my satellite ISP has sucked for the past few days with the storms and cloud cover. Maybe I will actually get to participate in this thread the entire game. I can only hope.
It's the Falcons we play this week Panther fans, which means we ignore everything else that has happened in previous games, we ignore the records and we focus soley on pummeling the red and black!
This is now an Open Thread!

Good afternoon Panther fans :)
I can’t wait for this game to get started.. So much is riding on todays performance.
So, I wonder if ATL tries to start a fight this week?

Steve Smith should return the kicks...
Jake can’t seem to get the ball in his hands, so it’s be another way to get him 5-6 touches…

Gotta use him somehow though, right?

Jake’s been better at throwing to him in recent weeks.
Smitty lost a 40+ yard bomb in the lights last week which would have put him over 100 yards for the game.

You guys have a freakin’ train in there!

Question..
I know this is a bit late now that Thomas Davis is injured, however we always had one linebacker that seemed pretty non-existent… Why didn’t we incorporate a 5-2? I know it sounds impractical but what would sacrificing a linebacker for another DT do when said LB hardly made a difference? It’d help shut down the run, allowing the two LB’s to focus on coverage with the corners and safeties.
As I said, it’s obviously too late now that we wouldn’t have the talent to attempt such but it seems possible with two monster linebackers… maybe it’s desperation talking?

Gameday greetings folks.
Its a beautiful day here in the Philly metro, we’re watching this one outside with our full Panther garb on and flags proudly flying….Looking for a big win and looking forward to disturbing the hell out of my neighborhood Eagles fans.
GO PANTHERS!!!
Have a great game folks!
Likewise! Let's do this!

FYI folks
Fox just put up the stat that DeAngelo has 137 yards average over the last 4 games.
If he keeps up that pace he’s on target for 1,886 yards

That will be hard to maintain but he can start today!

Being if we talk about him doing well, he does bad; If we talk about how bad he’s going to do, perhaps he will do good?

Exactly! :3
"Once again the trousers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
So lets try...
25 interceptions and -9 yards for Jake!

I wonder if that means
he’ll end up with 9 yards and 25 TDs. I’d like to see that!
Interesting!

Alright guys! Let's do this!
It’s time for the Falcons to get their wings clipped. Panthers get the ball first!

It just occurred to me that I’ve done something bad… something very bad… I started ATL’s defense.

Actually that is a good play
If the ATL defense sucks then the Panthers win so you don’t feel so bad

Well where the hell was this the last 8 weeks? Lol

Wow. Smith almost coughed the ball up there.
Better be careful. Dang that was close! Touchdown panthers :D
"Once again the trousers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
I think he is calling the plays though at the line. When he does they usually have good results with it. Lets see if that continues.
Member of Canes Country and the Cat Scratch Reader
That's actually very interesting.
Could it be that Jake is out there calling his own plays? If that’s the case, it doesn’t say much about Davidson! But hey, you can’t argue with what works! Jake is a leader, so let the leader be a leader!

is d-will hurt...hardly played on that drive...
i started him over thomas jones
He has been kinda hurt all week. They will probably limit him today. Good idea not to start him.
Member of Canes Country and the Cat Scratch Reader
Dang. Perfect pocket for that 3rd down completion.
We better start getting more pressure. Can’t do that against Matt Ryan.

i understand running where davis would’ve been. losing him is a big deal.

That wasn't a 3 and out >.>

This is brilliant game planning. Jake’s at his best when he calls the plays, so have him run the no huddle.
Why nobody thought of this before is beyond me though.
People on the blog did.... 4 weeks ago! I'm just glad the coaching staff is doing something

Side Note: Delhomme seems to be playing with some swagger today

HELL YEAH
LETS BLOW OUT THE FALCONS AND SEND A STATEMENT TO THE REST OF THE LEAGUE!!
I am really trying to contain myself, we’ve got to show up for both halves before we can win the game, but man it’s hard to stay -——- i cant even think of the right word to use!
People speculate on what comes next, in the afterlife. I just hope they serve collards.
I agree. It's one of those things where you can't believe this is happening.
I sound like I’m uber confident right now, but in reality I’m keeping a close eye on Jake and trying to figure out if Jeff Davidson is calling the plays or if Jake is running the entire offense by himself. Our team is weird, I swear to god.
I like Ron Meeks! He just seems like such a geek on the sidelines with his glasses and his playchart.

second half
the panthers proved last week that you gotta play both halves. unless either team is up 3 TDs by halftime, then this one is going down to the wire. i’m okay with that, but a 90 yd d-will TD run to win would be lovely. i’m playing against j-stew, so i’m biased.

that pass
how is it that jake and smitty seem like they’re not on the same page sometimes? of course, a long TD brought back by the holding would’ve really hurt

They are a good team, but they have too many turnovers and have to come from behind too often. i think we’ll beat them the next time they play, and half a dozen other teams are better than them, including the steelers, vikings, and cardinals.
