i said that if these 2 teams played like they did in week 1, the falcons would win by 20+ points. the falcons played a lot worse. i think they thought this would be a cakewalk. and the panthers played better, eliminating a lot of mistakes. the fact that the falcons still beat them under the circumstances tells me they're pretty damn good. a good team finds ways to win even during an 'off' week.
