Yeah look here's the thing. It was fun to win and I'm proud of the D for somehow putting that last 8 minutes together... BUT... at the end of the day we scored 35 points and STILL the opposing team had the ball with 2 minutes to play and only needing about 40 yards for a game winning field goal. We aren't going to win many games against top tier opponents like that. I'll take the win because it's a hell of a lot more fun than losing, but they have to show me more than that before I'm going to start thinking about the long term. One game at a time.

The thing is that every team in the division has glaring weaknesses outside of Atlanta (right now). I think Atlanta has been pretty fortunate injury wise.

Carolina has an awful offensive line and can't rush the passer. Cam is playing absolutely awful and at this rate won't make it all year. We get them in the dome, after a bye, while they come off a short week for MNF. We'll get Armstead and Ellerbe back for that one too (for his few games a season)

If we can somehow survive in the race until Breaux and Rankins come back, I can see us putting together a run. We had some young players emerge on the dline this past game too.

This is one of the few times an early bye is beneficial. We need to blow the Panthers out, and I think we will.
