Welcome to the latest chapter in a recent yet burgeoning rivalry, pitting our beloved Atlanta Falcons against the hated disliked somewhat less-than-loved Carolina Panthers. This is a big game in the division, with the Falcons propping up their playoff hopes with a win and the Panthers setting themselves up for the division crown if they pull it off.
Let's cheer on the Georgia Dome's finest after the jump!
Who? Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers, 4:15 p.m. ET
Where? Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Weather? Awesome with a chance of even better.
Fun Fact? The Falcons and Panthers have traded some big victories over the years. As tlozwarlock noted, the Falcons crushed the Panthers 30-0 and 41-0 in 2002. On the other side other coin, the Panthers beat the Falcons 44-11 in 2006 and 24-9 earlier this year.
Injuries? There's an incredibly long list of questionables here, so I'll hit the lowlights. OT Sam Baker is out, WR Laurent Robinson is out, Jason Elam is questionable (but very likely to play), DT Grady Jackson, RB Jerious Norwood, WR Roddy White and TE Ben Hartsock are all questionable. Thanks for being the bearer of bad news, Official Site!
The Panthers have four probables. They're looking very healthy against the Falcons, which isn't great news.
Odds? Atlanta over Denver 1.0, O/U 42.5
Foe? You all know and possibly love Jaxon, who capably caps out Carolina coverage over at Cat Scratch Reader. Be sure to check out what he and his readers are saying during the game.
GO FALCONS! Let's make sure these cats don't land on their feet!

“
capably caps out Carolina coverage”
Love alliteration much, Dave?
Our blessed birds are going to have to be on their A game today. Here’s hoping Ryan’s icy cool, White survives the first half, Turner’s on fire, and Jackson, Lofton, Coleman, and Foxworth snatch some balls out of the air. And a big “go get ’em” to John Abraham and the rest of the DL.

I'm sure

We better.
He’s our best bet for long pass plays, unless they let Norwood out of his cage…but then again he’s questionable too.
HD and Finneran are good for those inside passes, the ones that help us get into 3rd and Short situations. Jenkins over the middle maybe. But White is a deep threat, our key receiver.

Today's inactives
per NFL.com…
Panthers: QB Matt Moore (3rd), CB C.J. Wilson, WR D.J. Hackett, LB Landon Johnson, G Mackenzy Bernadeau, DT Darwin Walker T Frank Omiyale, WR Kenneth Moore.
Falcons: QB D.J. Shockley (3rd), WR Laurent Robinson, S Jamaal Fudge, T Sam Baker, CB David Irons, LB Tony Gilbert, C Ben Wilkerson, DT Kindal Moorehead.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Oh Fudge
Why always inactive?
I’m also beginning to think that Laurent Robinson is never going to crack the rotation. He appears too injury prone, which is a shame given his talent.
If he stays injured all the time
the Falcons will send Fudge packing.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Man
Jets 27, Titans 6 with 11 minutes left. Who’d have thunk it? For our sake, it’s nice to see that anything can happen. It scares me that we’re actually favored by a point today (which doesn’t make any sense IMO). Last time we were favored to win… well, you know what happened. Go Falcons!
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Don’t count the Titans out yet.
Never know what can happen in this league.

Times like these
I’m grateful for our coaching staff.
The Cleveland Browns are doing to Jerome Harrison what Petrino did to Jerious Norwood last year. Their most talented and explosive running back is barely playing behind Jamal Lewis, who has managed 50 yards today and just fumbled the ball away to Houston. Well done, idiots.
Wasn't our game supposed to be nationally televised?
Thought I heard that it was, and then I saw this coverage map indicating it’s only in a small area.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
It's a political thing.
The big whigs probably saw “OMG Resurgent Cardinals vs G-men? NATIONAL STAGE!”

Maybe if we had won last week
more Falcons fans could see this game. Giants are from a much bigger TV market, wouldn’t be surprised if that was a major factor.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
7-3 vs 8-2 = easier sell than 6-4 vs 8-2 I guess.

Burnout / Letdown
after the Broncos loss maybe people felt a little emotionally spent.

Post-loss deflation, more than likely.

That explains it
I was busy this week, but it was kind of surprising to see the traffic wind down so much.
So the NFL moved the starting time
and inconvenienced thousands of season ticket holders for almost nothing. Greedy pricks.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Just heard it confirmed, Tom.
On Fox: “Most of the nation will be seeing the Cardinals take on the Giants while others will see…” That sure was a quick change, huh?

The NFL
It’s business. If I wasn’t so jaded I’d probably be more outraged by this, but you could sell me for $5 as a little green elephant. The bottom line is more important than the fans.
In a few years...
I’m hoping it’ll be other fans getting jilted by us. With Ryan leading the charge, our TV “worth” will certainly rise, as it did with He Who Must Not Be Named. The only difference will hopefully be consistency and straight up talent instead of flash-in-the-pan theatrics.

The only reason I can see
for moving the start time, then, was to give the league more options for choosing the late game today. Seventy thousand people having to go home in the cold and dark stinks, though I did kind of like being able to sleep until noon today.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
The late kickoff helped me find a nice spot to watch the game in after my latest bowling tourney. FYI, I’m watching the game with the enemy. My tourney partner’s a Panther fan. We may no longer be partners after today.

Quick fantasy question for Dave
How much do you expect Roddy White to play today? Should I sit him in favor of Donald Driver?
If Mike Shanahan were a hotdog, would you eat him? I know I would. Hell, I'd eat him twice.
That's what I had planned. Thanks, Dave!
But if he sucks it up today, I’ll remember you said that :)
If Mike Shanahan were a hotdog, would you eat him? I know I would. Hell, I'd eat him twice.
Sadly
Everyone remembers what I say. That’s probably why my “Buy Enron” blog crashed a few years ago.
We just ran a cheer through the bar.
RODDY RODDY RODDY.
We’re anxious to get this game started. Why is Dallas taking so long to finish off SF?
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
I figured I'd show up for the best afternoon game
Howsit going dave, life treating you alright?
And trust me, thank god Troy Aikman isn’t doing your game. He’s the Tim McCarver of football… a quote
looking back at it, going for the onside kick down 16 and allowing the cowboys to kick a fieldgoal was not the best idea
shoot me
I just sit back and root for the taser
My friend and I firmly believe that man is retarded.

living in Dallas
the man is regarded as a God, but I still don’t get why. Jeff George would’ve killed with that Offense. So would Ryan Leaf and Akili Smith
I just sit back and root for the taser
Not very nice
Tim McCarver can help being the way he is, unlike people with actual mental handicaps.
Doing reasonably well
Some life stuff slowing me down as of late, but all will be well.
And Tim McCarver kills me. My absolute favorite from him was something along the lines of “Even Tim Wakefield doesn’t know what Tim Wakefield is doing with Tim Wakefield tonight!”
’Nuff said.
my favorite McCarver quote
“We had our friends at Stats, Inc. check and see whether more multi-run innings came with a lead off homer or a lead off walk. You would think that a lead off walk would lead to more big innings than a lead off home run. Not true. A lead off home run, this year, has lead to more multi-run innings than lead off walks. It’s against conventional thinking.”

Emmitt Smith
makes him look like FDR.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
But Liendquist ala CBS NCCAF makes them all look like Winston Churchills.

I just sit back and root for the taser
When I look at tonight’s eric battalion between the Giants and Redskins, I want to pay close introspection to the running backs. I think the running backs could be the divisive imminent of tonight’s game. You look at the Giants. They have Brandon Jacobs. They have Ahmad Bradshaw. One’s got power. The other one’s got speed and effusiveness. Together, those two make a heckuva pontoon in the backfeel. Bradshaw is so fast! He don’t drink no decapitated coffee in the morning! You can’t stop him, you can only hope to contemplate him!
I just sit back and root for the taser
We need to run effectively
unlike the last game with Carolina. Good start, Turner for 7.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
And Fox will not cut away to the Falcons.
UGH.

I was at the bar with my laptop, resting with a pal (panther fan, bless him) and the bar has WiFi. And yes, I generally write out my immediate reactions to the game as fanposts. I wish I were writing on the beat…

"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
I cant see or hear.
not nice fooling me that way
Steve Smith is going to have 200 receiving yards before this thing is over
http://hobnailboot.blogspot.com/
Smith again for the first down
at the 50 or so. This doesn’t help my appetite with dinnertime coming.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Smith is good. And a Falcon is down.

smith 153 yards so far
someone has to slow him down.
And now to the 32 YL
This freakin’ sucks. Abraham on the ground hurting.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Time for a turnover.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
If adversity builds character
we’ve got a team of Lincolns by now. Turn it around, Falcons.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Or another 3. Another 3 is fine. But we have to score in retaliation.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
That's the defense I like
There were 6 black jerseys on the running back there. Nice swarming.

Defense swarms
now that Carolina’s in FG range.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
3rd and 5. Let's stop. Watch out for the seam.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
Smith for the first down
Foxworth covering. Shee-yit.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Delhomme just ran for a TD.
Let me repeat that. Delhomme just ran for a TD.

Delhomme
for a TD?! Unbelievable. Going for 2 will be food for discussion later.

I'm guessing Steve Smith or a draw
Both have seemed to work pretty well against us today.
http://hobnailboot.blogspot.com/
You know, the line is Falcons by one. I want that covered, not matched.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."

24-21. Snap out of it guys.

The ball was clearly knocked out of possession after the knee was down.
Good job by smitty to control himself.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
damm
ok we still have the lead and a QB with lots of good weapons….we will win.
Ok. Time for a TD.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
So I guess that Falcons radio report was wrong
Turner just carried.

Finn just touched Ryan on the back
and Ryan looked at him meeeeeeeaaaaaan.

Ok, we can smell the TD. Let's get it.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
Brian Billick just called Todd Weiner
“WEENER”, instead of “WINER” Tee-Hee.

Not to be negative
but Douglas was outrun, thought he was Mr. Speedy?

Ok, 3rd and Goal. GET THE TD FALCONS. Christ my heart's exploding.

YES!
AND TURNER IS MY STARTING RB ON ONE OF MY FANTASY TEAMS!
In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.
10 point lead. 7 minutes to go.
Let’s preserve.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
Delhomme looks pissed. Let's sack him.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
even if
we were to not have made it in a 99 yard field and 3 minutes run off the clock much better than the punt we were faceing 3 minutes ago on the 33 yardline
Nice to see the Falcons answer the TD
with a TD of their own for a change. That’s got to help later on.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"

Wow. 3 and out helped by some icky penalties
Time for the go-ahead touchdown.

He wasn't moving backwards by his own force, once the defenders start pushing you backwards that's where forward progress is set

Douglas
getting a talking to by the coaches and his teammates.
186 yards, 2 TDs. Guess it’s OK.

Douglas = MVP.
Don’t argue with me.

Carolina starts at the 33 YL
after the penalty and KO. Not too bad. Seal it defense!

coaching has been an amazing success
all the team has learned that they are a team. and can and will do whatever it takes to do their part. That is Coach of the year to me.

making it too easy, wish they wouldn’t sit back so much.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
yeap looks like that is possible
but i would prefer just the panthers and falcons in playoffs …i hate tampa
Just run out the clock not enough time or timeouts to catch up now.
This game is won.
Carolina has 2 timeouts left
If we cover the kick, probably a done deal. How big was Douglas’ 2nd TD now?
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
get the good hands people up front
we should be good
If Finn was a hot dog
I’d be eatin’ the hell out of him.

Nice hands Finneran!
Might be his biggest play today.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Anyone notice
no interceptions from either QB today. well played game.
Ball control
and no turnovers is Smitty’s thang. Keep them down, and you give yourself a chance to win. These guys really rebounded this week.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Keep it on the ground
Kittens use their last timeout, 1:48 remaining.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
I was
really impressed that the panthers had no interceptions either. This was a well played game for both teams. the intangebles did make the difference today.
At this moment
The Falcons have outgained them 375-374.

Just like Al Bundy. How proud Al would be.

Nah, Smitty wouldn't try a field goal. He's got some class.
That was all Turner’s effort. That’s just a play to kill clock.

Not showing them up
Agree, just killing clock and playing it smart. Any good coach would do that.
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
Has anyone else noticed...
….that there seems to be a bit more gambling going on this year in the NFL? Teams going for two to win games, going for it on 4th down in situations longer than 4th and short? Is it just me?
In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.
I was very skeptical of a win today
and I’m very happy to be so wrong. (crying) I LOVE you, man!
"There's no such word as 'quit' in swamp buggy racing, Marigold"
i had the wrong score but i think i had about the right spread.
I knew that after such a hard loss. we wouild come back strong.
