Game # 16 Carolina at Atlanta

[ohara]

This is for the Division for Carolina. They win and they win the Division, a 1st round bye, and they host a playoff game. Very big game. Still unsure of Cam's toe, and of Smith's knee. Carolina needs to be hitting on all cylinders next week. Do NOT want to go into the playoffs with a disappointing loss in the mouth.

True. If they do, that falls on the coaches. They have to make sure the players are totally focused on the Falcons today. They know what is riding on this game. Hoping that the Falcons might be thinking about tanking today so they can improve their draft position. But this is a rivalry game, and I think they have too much pride to let that happen to them. This is going to be a war today. Defense MUST pressure Matt Ryan. If they do, I think the Panthers win. If Ryan has time to throw, Panthers are in trouble.

Panthers up 21-20. Falcons have the ball at their own 20 with around 3 minutes to play. Defense has to win the game and the division and a 1st round bye. Has to be the defense to stop Ryan.

Defense! 4th and 18 just at their own 12. Two minutes to play. Falcons will punt and see if they can force a 3 and out. A first by Cam and the Panthers should win the game!

Panthers win! Hardy with 4 sacks and the team had 9 sacks. What a day!

Wow! Chud looking to be fired tomorrow by the Browns after only 1 season as Head Coach. Kinda feel bad for him. Why give him only 1 year? Bet he wishes he was still calling plays for Cam. But I am VERY happy with our current coaching staff. No room at the inn for you Chud. Sorry my friend.
