The perfect cure for what ails this Falcons team? Playing the Panthers. Atlanta’s been consistently great against Carolina in the Dan Quinn era, and with Ron Rivera gone, that continued as the Falcons made their way to a pretty comfortable little win, their fourth of the season.
It didn’t look like it was going to be all that fun an afternoon at halftime, when the Falcons managed a Younghoe Koo field goal to go up by three points. Throughout the first half, they missed the opportunities you expected them to miss, scuffled in ways you expected them to scuffle, and generally frustrated us.
