maxatlanta Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I am a die hard fan, but am suprised that we are favored in this game. It seems like most board members are more pessimistic about our chances than the rest of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfanjason Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Doesn't the home team automatically get three points? So in reality we're a 1.5 - 2 pt. underdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritsPittz Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I believe the home team gets 3 points automatically, so we're not really the favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood all the way! Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 im surprised. i thought we would be the underdog. the media has always liked the Panthers and even though they have played like crap in recent weeks, everyone looks at their record and think they are an elite team. come on.......they have played horrible teams and barely won in the end.

falconfanjason Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 OT (sort of): I am not mailing this game in. I'm sick of guys thinking just because we lost to Denver that we're done for the year. We haven't lost back to back games ALL YEAR and I don't expect us to now. The Panthers passing game has been garbage the last two weeks. Lets put 7 and 8 in the box and stuff Williams and Stewart. I think Houston and Foxworth can man up on Smith and Muhammed, let's force them to throw. And last but not least let's put Delhomme on his butt about 4 or five times and let's take this one!!!

maxatlanta Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 The 3 point stuff is a side note- The main thing is that we are favored to win the game. That suprises me, even taking into account that we are the home team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 i don't see how since they are leading the division and beat us earlier this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I expect us to win this game for a few reasons:This roster is made up of players who are hard on themselves. Go back and read Ryan or Roddy's comments after the game. They weren't anywhere near satisfied with their performances/ I believe that will drive this team to be more focused and energized when they come out of the tunnel Sunday afternoon.Carolina isn't playing all that well right now. It's hard in the NFL to all of a sudden ratchet your level of play up if you've been stinking it up for a couple of weeks.Dome's going to be rocking.The Panties and their fans suck something powerful.

Joremarid Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 the panthers have played very poorly the last two weeks and had they been playing NFL teams they would be 6-4 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe you will see the "nasty boys" back on the field this weekend (bought 2 extra tickets Sunday night!)Go Falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnex Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah I understand how we are the favorites. We're at home which usually equals a 3 point favorite when two equal teams are playing, so us being favored by 1 is about the same as saying that Carolina is the better team. If you look at the yearly record it's easy to say that Carolina is better. But if you look at the last couple of games I think Atlanta should be favored by about 5 points. Something is wrong with Delhome IMO. He's not been throwing the ball well at all over the last couple of weeks. If they are able to gash us with the run then they have a chance. If we do a good job of containing the run then we will win this one by a decent margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
