Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers Week 9 Open Thread

It's fair to say many have written this game off for the Falcons, but damnit, not us. There's always a chance.

Look for the Falcons to rely heavily on a short passing attack today, and to try to keep Cam Newton in the pocket and force him to make mistakes. For Carolina's part, they'll try to destroy Matt Ryan's very soul. Those jerks.

As always, talk about the game right here. We'll have a second half open thread, as well, so stay tuned for that.
