PrintCarolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons, Sep 20, 2009 1:00 PM EDT
Yes its Falcons week Panther fans. Our beloved Panthers travel to the roost in Atlanta for another taste of fresh bird and we know how much cats like bird!
The horrors of week one are but a distant memory as we know our Panthers will come out fighting. Consider the following factors the Panthers have in their favor:
- A superior running game led by Double Trouble
- A rejuvenated PB DE in Julius Peppers will look to abuse LT Sam 'Quiche' Baker
- Long time Falcon tormentor Steve Smith is sure to be juiced
- The Falcons are still trying to find the right combo in the secondary
There is plenty of pre-game reading material on the Falcons over at The Falcoholic if you care.
This is now an Open Thread!

Todays inactives:
inactives: QB A.J. Feeley, RB T. Sutton, CB C.J. Wilson, S C. Harris, OLs G.Williams and D.Robinson, DLs H.Taylor and N.Hayden.
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
So Leonard is starting I guess?
And Moore is the only backup? That’s a bit surprising.
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Feeley is not inactive
He’s the emergency 3rd
Same here....
and the Saints are on the march too.
GO PANTHERS!!!!
GOOD LUCK JAKE!!!!!
HANG TOUGH BROTHER!!!!!
A toss?
Granted its the first play… but thats not a typical John Fox running play
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I have to say
These alternate Falcon uniforms are pretty swell
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
pretty quick throws
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Jake is looking very crisp...
granted, it’s only three throws. But those are the tightest spirals I’ve seen from Jake in a long time.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
looks like he's adjusted his plana bit
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
For those unable to watch:
Jake is current 4/4 including two 20+ yard passes to Smith and Moose
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
was that a ansy timeout call?
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
What I want to see
This is all great, but I expect a score on the first drive. It’s the ones that reflect adjustments that worry me.
Short plays and long drives
Is a great way to keep Ryan from making plays
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Good read on the broken play from Jake...
DeAngelo couldn’t make a play though. FG Panthers
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I'm ok with that
Play it safe. As long as Jake isn’t trying to be Superman. 3 points is better than a pick
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Is Baker our leading tackler on special teams?
cmon!
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
We need to have an extra DB in
If we don’t and leave an LB on Gonzalez its going to be a big day for him
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
what is being challenged?
The catch by White? He had it easily…
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Ohhhh! Good eye by Fox!
I saw the new angle…he did drop it.

Bout time Fox won one

Money land time
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
On the 10 yard line!
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
To me, this drive tells the story of our game
Last week we couldn’t adjust to the changes the Eagles made. If we can get points again I’ll feel a lot better about the season.
Who wants to bet...
Munnerlyn was told, “No matter what, catch the ball. Just call a fair catch, but DON’T bobble it.”
Good strategy against Koenen anyway :)
Two personnal fouls now
bad blood is brewing!
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
If he didn't throw high
It would have been picked. I say good play Jake
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
That's not always good
He outkicks the coverage too much. Better to have it go five yards higher and five yards shorter if the coverage gets there than overkick it and set up a return.
They aren't lying when they say they believe in Jake
To give him those throws in the endzone!
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
We can’t keep letting a guard have free reign to get past the line and block Beason.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
That's going to happen
unless Leonard is told to play as a true NT. Both tackles are playing one-gap.
Yep, but when our primary playmaker cant make plays it can become a problem.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
YEAH BABY!!!
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Marshall playing the Nickle CB on that right?
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Was Munnerlyn in on that play?
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
It appeared so....
it can be tough sometimes to identify the DBs in a cover 2.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
He was the nickel
Looked like Gamble and Munnerlyn were the CBs
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Sorry to fill the thread up with this...
but does anyone have a link…?

Falcons dropped out of stacking the box.
Big gain by Williams
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
What do you bet that wasn't 'down by contact' if it was an INT
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
good lord
I looked up “busted play” in the dictionary and that’s what was drawn up.
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
They accidentally moved the ball to the ATL goal line, for some reason
so the gain was a loss
Smitty should have had that
Wasn’t the best throw… but definately catchable

He should've been gone

I called in 10 minutes ago!
We cant have a frggin LB on Gonzalez
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Way more than that
At least 17 to the Eagles alone. When you give the other team the ball in scoring position, its on the Special Teams and not the Defense
The O-Line's showing up today
that can’t hurt
I agree... DeAngelo is starting to run well
And Jake is getting a little sloppy. Keep running!!!

Just give the ball to dwill,we want to win today.
I was about to get on Stewarts case
and then he ran a big one
D-Will!!!!
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
He had all kinds of room
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Williams loves to bounce it outside
Nice stiff arm
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Imagine the score though if Matt Moore was starting!
Panthers would probably be up by 20!
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
now now...lets not egg them on
things are all positive right now!! lets enjoy it!
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
adjustments
it seems we made three adjustments from last week, and i like them…quicker throws, better run blocking, and more intensity on defense. i like it. i don’t expect jake to do anything great, but the throws he’s made so far have looked good, and if he keeps it up, i think we’ll win by 17 pts.
Don't forget the O-Line
They’re opening holes and protecting Jake today. Makes everyone else look better. :)
jake
you know jake appreciates that. quick drops and time to throw.

And Falcon fans want to argue
That Turner is better than DeAngelo.
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Great .5 yard run Turner
Now I know why they call you the burner
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Yes, I'm playing against him in FFL unfortunately
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
So if were losing its Jake sucks
If were winning its Andre Johnson is a beast???

Yep.
Andre Johnson is leading us to the promised land.

Anderson still in for Diggs...Diggs out for game?
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Not one
I upped it to 66 QB rating… the haters werent willing to put their money where their mouth was
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I bet that Jake would rebound...
Loser would say the winner was right in their forum SIG for 3 weeks.
It doesnt matter though… dining on Falcon is more important than the haters eating crow.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Now sure who that was
but the Captain did well to get there and lay the wood on him before he got loose.
Turners taking a licking
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
If we can stop one of the best RBs in the league without Kemo i'm confident.
Secondary is killing us though
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
don't get too excited
AP will be heard in that game
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Better enjoy AP while you can.
He wont last another 5 years if the Vikes keep running him 40 times a game.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Better to give up the 25 yard pass
than the 50 yard TD
yeah he caught it
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Safety in a zone should be playing deep
They’re the last line of defense. They need to play a man-zone on Gonzalez
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
so then
was he down at the 10? or what?
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
it was a great catch
the ref blew the whistle, though, so the ref did cost them a TD.
Still no pressure
We haven’t touched Ryan yet
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
terrible tackling again!
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
He's not getting held... he's getting shut down.
There’s a difference
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Saying he's being 'held' on every play is obscene. It's like saying every INT by Jake last week was because of pass interference.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
That's BS, every player gets "held" that way
And they deal with it. That’s what separates the stars from the rest.
For instance, did you see Gross’s takedown of Abraham? Handful of jersey, wasn’t called.
No doubt
It’s taking the Falcons 10+ plays for a drive and we can get it done in 8
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Playing 'click click boom' every time they score is getting OLD
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I bet the Oakland - KC game is fun to watch...
3-3 at the 2 minute warning.
For those of you stuck with the gamecast
it’s being streamed here
http://atdhe.net/9351/watch-carolina-panthers-vs-atlanta-falcons
Formerly Mariners124M... Username was sorta bland, so I'm changin it up
Short passes,
big runs. That’s a good way to win a football game.
It's very reassuring to see we got our offense back.
Nice run up the gut from Stewart there, tackles bouncing off him all over the place.
He started to cut back but didn't
should have
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
Oh man
Moose got his legs taken out from under him before the ball got there. If that hadn’t been tipped…
I'll take it
Without that blocked punt it Falcons wouldnt have that TD
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
it seems more & more other teams kickers are putting it in the end zone so why are we keeping lloyd
"it's a bad day to have a bad day"
Because Kasay could only make it to the 15 yard line at best.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Nobody expected him to be great against the run.
It’s gonna take a couples of years and 15 pounds before he’s great in the run game.
Someone get on the phone to Fox
Tell him that trading field goals for touchdowns isn’t going to win you much in this league
We need to get help on the front 4
need to be able to get pressure without blitzing all the time.

Also, ATL's offense is excellent
It’s a little of both.
Offense is dynamic... defense is wet paper
the million dollar man is a no-show and Gonzalez is having his way.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
They still haven't figured out how to stop the run
that bodes well for the 2nd half.
Muuuch better
We are still in a good position to run the ball, so I’m not too worried.
Why not?
He’s nailed a 70 yarder in practice!
He just has zero accuracy
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Alright, considering where we were last week,
I don’t think you can call this anything but a bigtime improvement.
Offensively, agreed
Defensively, not so much.

Good offensively and bad defensively is better than
abysmal offensive and invisible defensive.
Offense much improved
Defense the same, and unfortunately special teams worse
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
21 first half points surrendered
We’re not winning many this season if our defense doesn’t get a LOT better. What’s worse is we’re winning the time of possession battle.
I like this half...
Falcons are one of the best teams in the NFL… we just need to make defensive adjustments
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I don't feel too bad about this
considering Tennessee gave up 24. Happens to everybody.
Matt Sanchez TD
Pats – Jets tied up, awaiting the PAT
I love it whe nthe Pats lose. Here’s hoping.
my only real complaint...
Is special teams. there have been few blown assignments and bonehead plays but the ST is the only thing that is putting us in bad positin.
Last year we had great starting field position from a defensive standpoint
This year they’re starting with short fields way too often.
agreed
but the D still needs to improve some of their coverage. but it would help if the Falcons didn’t start at the 40+
Falcons get the ball first in the second half
If we can’t keep them out of the end zone, it’s going to be all but over.
jake vs the defense
jake had a horrible playoff game and played horrible last week. that’s two games. the defense has played poorly for about 11 straight games now. so why can’t dan connor get some pt? he knows how to tackle.
From Y! or ESPN or something...
(:02) (Shotgun) J.Delhomme pass incomplete deep left to S.Smith (B.Finneran). CAR-S.Smith was injured during the play. His return is Questionable.

I was listening to the radio when I came home.
When I turned my radio on, hoping the Panthers were on top, this is what I heard.
“Oh no! Steve Smith, writhing in pain in the end zone!”
I just turned it right back off.
"Once again the trowsers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
Believe it or not
Steve being out may make jake play like he did in SD last year. It’s scary but something to think about.
What a great game so far....
CAR came to play….Atl is really taking CAR’s best shot today….driving back with :50 on the clock instead of going into the locker room. I’m loving this….
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.
Elayne Boosler
IMHO we need a big play from ST or the D....
and keep the ball control going on the offensive side and not try to get it all back in a hurry.
Not too bad thus far, playing a playoff team on the road.
GO PANTHERS!!!!
I'm here!
What have I missed guys?
"Once again the trowsers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
Turner's only got 38 yards on the day
12 carries for Turner. Gotta like that.
He's going to take those passes all day if we give him all of this loose coverage.
"Once again the trowsers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
Everybody almost gets there
It’s why people say Brayton sucks, he always “almost” gets there. Almost’s aren’t tracked though.

He looks more like Foster now. Weird.

Is it wrong that I want something heavy to fall on Mike Smith?
He annoys the crap out of me.

This game could change very quickly.
It isn’t over yet. But it’s almost the 4th quarter and we’re marching the ball slowly up the field on both sides. We need a big play.

Yeah, our pass rush is non-existent. Would it start a fight if I wondered why we can’t seem to find an elite pass rusher?

you weren’t really counting on a rookie DT, were you? Not to minimize his injury, but you’ll get better production out of a bench veteran most times.
Hope he’s ok, but even if he isn’t your team will be.
It's more that I'd hate to see the kid's season end this early
But he’s a very solid player already. We’ll miss him either way.

Only if he had control before the twist
If he didn’t, then he never established control and made a “football move” before losing it.
Even if it is a fumble
He had possession of the football. It would be 4th and 2-3
"Once again the trowsers of evil are yanked down by the mocking hands of justice!"-Revshawn
It wouldn't be a fumble
it would be an incomplete pass. If he ever had possession it’s a TD, if not it’s 4th and 10
Extra point this time.

I got it. Charles Davis kept saying it should be an incomplete pass. I have no idea what he was talking about.

Blame the TV crew
They kept showing the backside of the play, and him crossing the goal line. It was the opposite view of what was being challenged.

If the D can’t step up and keep them on their side of the 50, it’s over.
Our D has played soft all game. They have to step up here. no more easy completions and stuff the run.

There was plenty of time
Sign of the coaching staff getting a little jittery. Fox would have taken the FG in years past.
Our defense hasn't exactly been stopping them efficiently all day
Though they did last drive. Now they get their chance again anyway.

the matrix
thanks jake for delaying the inevitable. he played well enough to definitely keep his job, but this was not a great game. but if the defense could stop someone, we’d win some games.
No one really had any seperation
It’ll be on Jake in the box score… but he had to try something

He had to at least try to make a play. Had he taken a sack, the would have had better field position

which is going to be hard enough, given that they’re opening their new stadium, have a power running game, and a pressure defense.

I've had a theory for several years now
That is is unlikely for both my alma mater (UNC) and the Panthers to win a football game in the same weekend. Haven’t ever really looked at the statistics on this, but ever since I’d consoled myself with at least 1 out of 2 I’ve had a lot less worry.

452 total yards of offense
That, to me, says we can win some games this season if the D and ST pick it up just a liiiittle bit.
We have alot to hold our heads high about.
Special teams and by extension defense cost us the game.
The offense was really solid. Jake is back, the rushing is definately there. We just need to put it all together.
I’ll have a better analysis after I watch the tape…. but we kept the game close despite playing on a short field all game.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
I'm with you James...
its such a long season and you can count on some unforseen surprises taking place between week 2 and week 16 of the season. As a side note, I watched most of the Eagles-Saints game and I gotta say its a damn shame the Panthers had the Eagles for the first game of the season. The Eagles were the mess we saw in the preseason and now that their newfangled blitz scheme is on tape it’s not gonna catch anyone by surprise. With that said the Saints looked pretty damn good, almost as good as the Eagles last week…. and ya see where that went within one week. Hopefully Jake got the boogeyman out of his head and we can get keep tightening things up and pull the upset in Dallas. Hang in there folks!
we just needed few stops..
and that fumble by deangelo killed us as well
How long will it take NO and ATL to both lose 2 games?
It’s really not looking good for 2009
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
well we havent played saints yet
so possibly we can hand them 2 loses to cover some ground
jake delhomme
nobody on the defense better ever hate on jake. he did his part.
defense has done there part for a couple years now

Depends
how much blame do you want to put on him for the late interception?
I’d like to blame the special teams as a whole.
Anyone wanna defend them?

RIP Nick Adenhart. 4/9/09
No blame at all
He was in 4th and 10 and running out of time, 90% of the quarterbacks in the league would turn it over on that play. Throwing the INT actually made a +10 yard difference to us in field position.
We have a LOT to worry about
Some say that there is a lot of bright spots in the game, but I saw many too many negatives…
The most significant problem was that we lost the battle of the trenches plain and simple. We could not get pressure on Ryan nor stop Turner the Burner…additionally our O-line was soo mediocre…not to mention that Hoover looked lost blocking and Dante is a pushover…
Our Special Team play has sucked… we can’t cover KO’s or punts at all nor can we get any kind of contributing runback!
I have no problem with Jake, he played fine and all, but we have got to find some one else to throw to besides Smitty and tha Moose…
Our defense can’t stop anything… sucks in coverage (esp against bigger TE’s like Tony G) and is having a lot of trouble stopping the run!!
And finally the main concern here is that we are just NOT as dominating as we were last year, including our running game…Atlanta controlled the ball and the game the entire game throughout…bottom line is that Atlanta outplayed us and made us look a lot less competitive than last year!
Gonzalez
Go back to one of my first posts in this thread… 1st quarter. I wrote “We can’t keep an LB covering Gonzalez all day, otherwise he’s going to have a big game” guess what happened?
As for the trenches… I’m disgusted with Julius Peppers play today.
Cat Scratch Reader's resident optimist.
Just wait til we play the Saints
Breez might put up 60+ on our secondary.
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
Leonard
Has anything been said about Leonard’s condition
I hate losing just as much as the next guy, especially starting our season out 0-2. However, the panthers made huge strides today. This week’s team and last week’s team are two completely different groups.
Smash and Dash looked great today, lets face it we played a really good football team with an excellent QB and solid D-line. The Falcons are good this year and are gonna be very competitive in our division this season.
I don't think us or Atlanta is going to be able to hang with New Orleans
They almost put up 50 points on Philly! I think they win the division hands down, and will probably have one of the best records in the league.
We will need a 6+ game winning streak here to be able to get back into things. And with our schedule I don’t think it’s possible.
on behalf of tha dirty south: soul food, carolina blue, southern hospitality, and tha queen city
+1
New Orleans is getting stops. That’s what is making them scary. Opponents who were putting up 40 on them last year can only get 20 or 30.
That offense is obscene right now. Brees has over 700 yards, 9 TD and 2 INT and it’s week 2

New Orleans looked great today.....
but I do want to qualify it by adding that this did not look like the same Eagle defense of week #1. That bltzing scheme was a brand new look never seen before when they hit the Panthers with it. The Saints picked the Eagle D apart after having a week of seeing it on film.
I’m with you, that we have a tough road to sow, but its only week #2 and you never know at this point where the ebb & flow of the NFL will end up at week #16.
Heres to hoping for the best, starting with a big upset win in the big D.
