Panthers fans have always been the Atlanta Falcons little brother. From their inception, they tried to make the Falcons their main rival and even gave it a nifty little nickname – “I-85 rivalry”. Though in order something to be a rivalry, both teams have got to be competitive and the Falcons have always dominated the Panthers. Always.
However, the Atlanta Falcons should follow suit and put their star quarterback on injured reserve as well, ending Matt Ryan’s season. Not because the team is better without him, because they are not, but because this team has nothing to play for and there is no point in running Matt Ryan out behind a patchwork offensive line and having him run for his life.
