The Atlanta Falcons won’t be .500 after today. The hope is that we’re celebrating the outcome.
This is the second NFC South game of the year, and moving to 1-1 could be very important later on as the Falcons (hopefully) spend the season jockeying for playoff positioning. Getting by a Carolina team that’s messy, injured, and still figuring this thing out is important now before things (potentially) gel later in the season for them, and it’ll be validation for our post-Week 2 optimism if they can bully the Panthers the way they surprisingly bullied the Vikings.
Use this as your open thread for the game ahead. Go Falcons!
