It wasn’t even a full hour ago that we saw the Falcons beat the Panthers 31-24, but games this close and this interesting warrant some additional quick analysis, before we’ve had time to settle and let attitudes congeal. Here are some of our all over the place reactions to the Falcons-Panthers game in Week 2.
The offense looked great
Carolina’s defense is no slouch, but the Falcons hung 31 points on them and ran for well over 100 yards, with Tevin Coleman alone piling up that total. Ito Smith looked tremendous, Calvin Ridley took off, and with the exception of a handful of annoying play calls, Steve Sarkisan wound up putting together an effective gameplan.
