Panthers kept it close going into the fourth quarter before being thoroughly owned by the Falcons in the fourth. Both the offense and defense couldn't do shit. The Offense gave up a TD in the fourth as well as the defense. This team disgusted me in the 4th quarter. We're not down and out yet. It's going to be VERY hard to win the division now that Atlanta has a three game cushion. The only way that can happen is if Atlanta has a collapse of monumental proportions (something like going 3-9 the rest of the way, which isn't likely seeing as the Falcons have a pretty cupcake schedule). I think that means the Panthers are gonna have to shoot for the wild card. We need a win either @Den or @Phi and then a win against the Chargers. That way we can finish off our first six games with a 3-3 record, because after that our schedule lightens considerably, with the only hard games (in my mind, that is) are @SEA and @ATL. If we can split the series with ATL, I think we should be able to go 11-5/10-6 and earn a wild card. Man, we are really missing Steve Smith
