The Falcons at the Panthers (UPDATE: PANTHERS LOSE 20-13)

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on November 11, 2007 at 12:23 pm

Seeing as how the 2-6 Falcons have struggled this year, normally I would have written today that the Panthers (4-4) have a good shot at winning their game against them, but what with their QB woes – we still don’t know who the starting QB will be today – as well as their winless streak at home this year, a win against the Falcons is by no means a “sure thing.” Update 1:04pm: Vinny’s the starting QB today.

The more interesting game to watch today, I think, will be the game in which we see ST readers Great White Rat’s and Mwalimu Daudi’s Cowboys (7-1) take on ST reader NC Cop’s 6-2 Giants on the Giants home turf. That one will be broadcast on Fox today at 4:15pm ET, right after the Panthers game.

Green week on NBCI’m sure the burning question on every NFL fans’ mind today is: Will tonight’s Colts at Chargers pre-game show on NBC be dominated once again by lame talk of “going green” like they did last week as part of NBC’s “Green is Universal” week? Let’s hope not. After all, don’t we watch sports to get away from that kind of talk?

Update 1: Another disappointing day for the ‘cats, as they fall to 4-5, losing to Atlanta 20-13.

Update 2: Sheesh – GB clobbered Minnesota … I know Ryan has to be crying in his beer right about now ;)

And ST reader and fellow NC blogger William Teach predicts in the comments:

Oh, BTW, count me in the G-men’s side. Cowgirls are going down hard this afternoon.

The gauntlet has been thrown!

    I’m not liking that early scoreboard; 7-0 Falcons.

  2. steveegg says:

    Of course, the Pack being up 7-0 over the Vikings is a lot better.

    **** GO PANTERS !! **** :d

  4. I cannot believe I did not start Crumpler today in Fantasy.

    Oh, and the stupid Falcons just won :((

    Were you watching the game, Tango, or the cheerleaders? :d

  5. Oh, BTW, count me in the G-men’s side. Cowgirls are going down hard this afternoon.

    Sorry about your Cats, ST! :(

    I will miss the Cowboys-Giants game (have to go to work at job #2) until 9:30. Unless there is another Dallas fan out there ya’ all won’t have a gen-you-ine Cowboys fanatic like Mwalimu Daudi to kick around anymore.

    Come to think of it – because of job #2 I have not seen a single down of a Dallas Cowboy football game this year. What kind of fanatic am I, anyway?

    I’m laughing into my beer :d

  8. LOL, steve …

    MD, it’s looking good so far for your Cowboys, but still got a lot of game to go.

  9. steveegg says:

    Of course, the news isn’t all good. I was about as “successful” this week against the spread as I was in the Weblog Awards promotions. Sorry about that.

    Figures that as soon as I got close to .500, I’d crap out.

    Well, pencil My Beloved Redskins in for yet another truly pathetic performance. They let the Eagles, who should never have been within two touchdowns of the ‘Skins at any point, win the game with the most inept 4th Quarter performance I’ve seen in a long time.

    It’s hard being a football fan in Washington these days.

  11. I feel your pain, Jimmie ;)

  12. Great White Rat says:

    Uh, William, would you like some Texas BBQ sauce on that nice big plate of crow you’re eating?? :d <):)

  13. Dana says:

    I had a real problem today: I always want to see teh eagles lose, just to see the whining in the Inquirer, but one of my drivers is a huge Deadskins fan, and for the Eagles to have lost would mean listening to him crow for the rest of the week.

    Well, the Deadskins managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so I won’t have to put up with his mouth! :)

    Unfortunately, my team is the Oakland Raiders, and they’ve stunk for four years now.

  14. NC Cop says:

    Thanks alot, Giants……:(

    NC: Buck up son, try being from the Seattle/Limpia area and I don’t just mean football/sports! That is, unless one considers watching treasonous politicians in collaboration with stinkin’, clueless, hippies hiding behind offspring a sport.

    ST,

    I think you are dreading the next weekend. You beloved Panthers have to come to Lambeau. The Pack’s defense has a chip on its shoulder and special teams and the offense aren’t that far behind them for attitude.

    Thank you Cardinals for beating the Lions.

    Cowboys had better watch their mouths before they fire up the Pack for their Thursday nighter with them.

  17. PCD says:

    Dana, Right, you could have beaten the Bears yesterday.

    Just look out, in a month, the Pack tangles with Davis’ Desperate-oddos.
