PrintAtlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers, Nov 15, 2009 1:00 PM EST
It's a rivalry game. If you need a pep talk to get excited about this one, you're either catatonic or a closet AFC fan.
As usual, this is your big bad open thread for the entire game. Chime in early and often as we cheer our Falcons through what promises to be a reasonably tough rematch with the Carolina Panthers. If we can pull out a win, we'll be sitting on 6-3 and one step closer to both a wildcard spot and the magic 9 wins.
In game-related news, running back Aaron Stecker has been released, wide receiver Troy Bergeron has been promoted to the active roster and Michael Jenkins is questionable with an illness. With Brian Finneran and Roddy White struggling with injuries, you could see quite a bit of Marty Booker and Eric Weems in this one.
Here we go!
What? Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. ET
Where? Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina
Weather? Current predictions have it as partly cloudy and somewhere between 60 and 70 degrees. Should be nice game weather.
Fun Fact? The last time these two teams met, the Falcons won! Yay!
Injuries? Whole lot of injuries, even in addition to the ones I've mentioned. Suffice to say the Falcons could be without Jason Snelling, Jerious Norwood and Thomas Johnson, while the Panthers will have to deal with life without linebacker Thomas Davis and possibly stud running back DeAngelo Williams.
Odds? Atlanta over Carolina 1.5, O/U 43.5
Foe? You all remember Cat Scratch Reader, right? Be sure to pop over and say hello as you follow along with the game. Jaxon & Co. are good friends of this here site.
GO FALCONS! Let's de-claw these Panthers!

I do not get releasing Stecker – he played clutch in recent weeks.
Does this mean Snelling will play ?
The team has 3 TEs and TG hasn’t been hurt in 13 years. What is the point of the 3rd TE ?
Jenkins illness and White’s knee will make our pass attack questionable. I hope they finally throw to Weems.
Stew and Williams are hurting – this will help a ton.
I hope to see a heavy dose of Gonzo and Burner and a 31 to 24 Falcons victory today !
it has been musical chairs lately
I’m not sure about Snelling but White and Jenkins are active. They are definitely not 100% though. I agree about getting Weems more involved. It can only help as the season continues.
DeAngelo Williams is also active.
The Falcons use a lot of 2 TE formations. I guess they have the 3rd TE just in case. Also, TG may only be around for another year so, there needs to be an heir apparent in training.

If JN32 or MS44 are playing, theyr'e better coices.
I’d love to hear if they’re scratched. You’re right Stecker was helpful, but it seems like he came up just short each time. Coulda been the situations.
Okay, I’m stoked! Let’s kick some CarPants!

Annoyed with people saying
he’s young, we put too much pressure on him, blah blah
His decision making has been dog crap awful and has rarely thrown a ball on target. It is completely rational to be worried.

The Funny Thing Is That We Know He Can Throw Well Under Pressure
He had several good games where he was facing some pressure, getting the ball out quick, making accurate throws.
I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s mechanics. He seems to be throwing some off his back foot and it makes his throws sail.

embarising
muhhamids killing us. no pressure on delhomme. NO PASSING OFFENSE AT ALL. this is embarisng. put weems in over booker. and throw high to jenkins. use play action. and start grimes over hill please.
Hope you guys have no injuries in the 2nd half. But QB play is the difference right now
Delhomme: 11/14 137 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 147 QB rating
Ryan: 7/19, 48 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 23.35 QB rating

No Doubt About It
QB play has been night and day. Delhomme has been playing very well. Ryan’s just not putting the ball where it needs to be. Plus we’ve suddenly developed a case of the dropsies (Zinger, Jenkins, etc.)

More unsightly stats
Carolina’s outgained the Falcons 222-165. Take away those 2 long Turner runs, and we’ve gotten our butts paddled pretty well thus far.
It's unfortunate because Turner had been playing so well
9 carries for 111 yards. But the lack of a passing attack has caused us to stall out bad.

We've got to make this happen
Get us within 10 yards so there’s no question of Elam punching it in. Or just, you know, punch it in with the offense.

And yes Tommy, very slow responses. I want to burn Elam at the stake, he’s clearly either a witch or too old to do this game.

I want to take a long nap. Anyone up for forming a mob to go out and kill Elam and friends/family?
I laughed
But I wouldn’t make that joke. Hits a little too close to home for some.

We knew the Panthers would play us tough
We didn’t know we’d absolutely fail in pretty much every aspect of the game.

I actually thought our second half performance was very solid
But we just didn’t make the key plays we needed to.
Division road games are always tough. If we want to take the next step, we have to start playing better on the road.

I am really questioning Ryan's abilities as our QB.

Elam
WHYYYYYYYYYY???
Thanks for screwing us. This game was ours and you just threw it away.
Maybe?
We could ask to trade Ryan for Delhomme???
I kid, but something needs to be done to light a fire under his ass.
Why must we always make the Panthers look good, even when they suck?

MATT NEEDS TO GET HIS ACT TOGETHER
Put in Redman. Matt needs to calm down and get his reads straight. He had glints of the AWESOME Matt this second half… But then they all dissapeared.
He has such a bright future… But right now…
Everyone can do that
But the regression deflates my thinking that he’d be an elite qb in the league one day. Still could happen, but I doubt it. Even if we squeaked out this win, I would still hold on to that statement. No pocket presence, awful decision making, and poor execution. Not a lot to latch on to as far as hope goes.
I still believe.
After the Chicago game last year, I still believe Ryan will be good. Regardless of the reasons, something is wrong.
Also, we’re playing much more difficult teams last year. Turner’s firmly established himself as someone who can run against good defenses but now Ryan’s gotta grow up a little more.
go get him

This was a TEAM loss
The Falcons aren’t as mature a team as I thought. You can’t let the Panthers do this to you.
Man, this witch hunt for Ryan is getting out of hand
Though we need to figure out what the hell is going on, that’s for sure.

We’re falling apart under pressure this year. Ryan’s taking the blame right now because all the fans are pissed.
by DirtyBird4Life on Nov 15, 2009 3:55 PM EST up reply actions
It's only Elam
Just think about it. Sure, Ryan’s looked bad, but there’s no reason to jump on his back. Elam actually lost us the game.
Ah, you know what, both of them suck. grr.
Four points left on the field. Elam missed field goal, 2pt conversion try

Guys if you havent noticed
Flacco is a bit worse too…they both just had amzing seasons…Give them chances and they will shine.
I blame the Panthers
They should have just rolled over
maybe true
But you can’t excuse that pass, I’m being a huge negative nancy which is expected after a loss, I know…. so I’m just going to stop now.
Ryan is going to be alright...
the picks are just killing us. try not forcing the ball so much. and of course, there are other problems for sure.
he'll be fine
i still think he’s thinking too much. needs to trust his instinct more and quit trying to do what he thinks he should..

Doesn't get any easier next week
Giants coming off of a bye are going to be pretty damn tough, we’ll be an underdog.
Have we played a team not off a bye this year? JK but seriously.
If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I should shutup, I'd probably have 5 or 6 bucks.
We'll be an underdog all year from now on.

We'll need to off both the Giants on the road and the Eagles at home in order to stay in the hunt
It’s not inconceivable. But beating the Giants off a bye given the way we play on the road is going to be very difficult

That
Was ridiculous. I honestly will never forgive Elam.
I blame the Falcons' Organization.
After forty-something years, there is still no one there who can put a winner on the field. The team as it played today will be lucky to finis,h 7-9. If you care to dispute me, show me in the win/loss statistics.

Dude, it's a free country....
….but do you really believe that, my man? Stafford has thrown a crapload of picks and Culpepper is useless. Long-term, I’m very happy to have Ryan.

I love Ryan, I really do...
but I think something is in his head. He just doesn’t seemed relaxed. It reminds me of Roddy at the beginning of the year. When he said “I was trying to live up to all the pressure.”
That helps. Thanks, Dog!

we have had
chances to win most games we can’t let losses like this bring us down we still have shot at play offs i blame Elam totally it was a chip shot
It's tough when a kicker can't make it happen any more
Whether age, lingering injury or something else is causing it, I’m not sure how much long we can continue to employ a guy who only handle kickoffs and extra points and is providing critical misses.

There are options out there
I’m as stand-pat a guy as you’ll ever find, but even I think we have to at least consider replacing Elam.

I think it was more of a miscue between the snapper and the holder but I feel what you’re saying.
If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I should shutup, I'd probably have 5 or 6 bucks.
the snapper and holder should practice this and have it down pat, Ugh

The real question
is the extent of Turner’s injury. My man had 111 yds through 1.5 quarters and if he is hurt is LJ an option?
If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I should shutup, I'd probably have 5 or 6 bucks.
I'll be honest
I’d rather suit up myself than employ LJ.
Sign up for a free account today to join the discussion about all things Atlanta Falcons!
Just a thought
But if Turner is hurt long-term (please,God no), we can’t rely on just Jason Snelling. Who else is out there?
If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I should shutup, I'd probably have 5 or 6 bucks.
Jerious "Baby's Daddy" Norwood.
Just poking fun at it. I hope he’s healthy. We’ve given him more than enough time to recover from whatever’s wrong with him. We have Antoine Winfield (I think that’s his name) the FSU kid.
Who knows. This season could go to heck real quick if Turner’s hurt bad. Ryan’s trying too hard and the offense is stagnant. Remember what I said a couple weeks ago about too many weapons? I think that still might be an issue. We did fine without a pass catching TE last year, not that I wouldn’t take TG any day of the week, but it could be something, ya know? I hear a lot about Ryan forcing throws to his TE, which makes no sense since we played without a pass catching TE last year.
Some kicker options
Matt Bryant, TB’s old kicker, I think he can still kick worth a toot.
Also, the Saints old kicker, Carney. I see people everywhere wondering why he still isn’t with NO. Maybe we can get one of those two.
