Yesterday, we saw the Panthers dismantle a pretty embarrassing Dallas Cowboys offense, while putting together a solid little offensive performance. They didn’t look like a team ready to fall apart, and they’ll certainly be a tough out on Sunday against the Falcons.
It’s a game the Falcons could really stand to win. They were lucky enough to see the Saints lose, but the Panthers and Bucs didn’t look like slouches, and they can’t afford to fall too far behind in what should be another competitive version of the NFC South.
