-3rd division game of the year already.
-Falcons have looked like the best team in the NFL.
-Possible trap game?
-Panthers should be very pissed about last week.
-Not a favorable matchup in the dome.
-Julio Jones vs Josh Norman, yikes.
What are your thoughts on this game? Discuss. _________________

I think it'd be close if we were at home.
Can't really say the same thing with us on the road. Depends on if Chud decides to playcall properly. |

Eh, as bad as our defense is, I'd hope we can stop Turner. He's pathetic.
I'll guess it'll be the battle of suck between Turner and our tackling this week. Our run defense isn't bad. Our players are in position. Just can't make a tackle to save their life sans Kuechly and Davis. Even Beason missed 2 tackles off the top of my head. |

The good news it that we should be fully healthy. The bad news is which Panther team will show up? |

Hopefully one that starts out fast, we've started every game at least down 10 points, how bad can we get?
Also I am worried we are going to get obliterated after seeing the Saints lose to the Chiefs today. It would have made me feel a little more comfortable had the Saints beatdown the Chiefs the way the Falcons did, however, as of now I can't see this one being close considering how we've played these past 3 weeks. |

It may be close since we play so inconsistent _________________

I think the Falcons win, but we keep it close for the majority of the game. Their defense has really stepped up and I think they will keep us in check, unless Chud gets he butt of his head and does something different. _________________

Another tough game with little room for error. I think every week is going to feel like this.
The Falcons are executing the best of all the teams I've seen so far this season and the Panthers are all over the place. Above all, I want to see the Panthers simplify things and return to doing the basics correctly like blocking, tackling and protecting the ball. I'd also like to see the offense avoid consistently putting itself in 2 & 12 situations.
Avoid big mistakes on both sides and I think we'll see a close game that we have a chance to take at the end. Turn it over and it'll be a long day. |

If you have Julio Jones on your fantasy team, I'd go ahead and start him.
I currently have very little confidence in this team to be able to contend with a top-tier team like Atlanta. Our "bend-don't-break" defense looks like a fancier version of what we ran with John Fox, a bunch of guys well off the line of scrimmage with random switches to a 3-4 because its creative and new. I hope Cam can get his head right and get the offense back on track, but its going to be a total team effort if we want to even contend with ATL |

They win their home game 33-17. Not really a "blowout", but a safe win for them, and there really isn't anything wrong with that from our perspective. They're a top 3 team in the league, they are supposed to win comfortably against average teams. |

I think it's more of an effort to get different skill sets on the field and the fact that Dwan Edwards and Ron Edwards aren't really pass rushers (although Dwan is leading the team sacks). I actually like CJ and Greg Hardy sliding inside with Alexander and Applewhite/Keiser on the ends.
Limiting Michael Turner's success is important in the beginning of the game. When teams are able to establish the run early, it doesn't change. |

I actually like it more. I don't mind the new one but IMO the old one was a lot better.
Back to the game, this looks a bit scary considering the Falcons passing game has torched like everyone they've played and I'm not to confident in Norman guarding White or Jones. Then they have Turner against our terrible run D. If the offense is anything worse than amazing I'm feeling an L here. _________________
