Anyone thinking the Falcons are just going to cede this game to the Panthers is stupid. If Mike Smith has any desire to keep his job, he will try to end the season well by taking down the division leaders at home. Plus, he will want to end the season on a high note. Unless he was personally provided some direction by the GM/owner to roll over the last game (highly doubtful) he will be playing for his job, as will a lot of guys on that roster right now. Atlanta has a hard enough job filling up their dome when they are winning games - how do you think they'll do next season if they decide to just fold on the last game at home. They have nothing to lose, that's what makes them so dangerous to Carolina.

Do I think they'll win? I'd give it 10-20%, it's the NFL and anything can happen.

Nobody, at least nobody with a brain, thinks that the Falcons' players, coaches, water boys, or anybody else actually involved in the outcome are going to roll over and cede the game to Carolina. Don't worry about it.

He's not going to be fired either way.

Dude isn't even on the mildly warm seat.

I don't think the Falcons are going to roll over, but get the frick out of here with Smith coaching for his job.

Blank has already stated Smitty was coming back like 6 weeks ago. Damn dude, turn on the TV and try and keep up.
