Exactly. The Panthers are rolling (against admittadly weaker teams than the Hawks have faced) but theyre as good a team as any of the 8 remaing. Plus the past 3 years games have that similar slug fest style to them like any divisional game

Bolded is maybe the least true thing that's ever been said on a message board in the history of the universe.

We will find out. If not against Carolina, Dallas for sure.

That said, we win this the vast majority of the time, so obviously you don't have to fear it as if a bad result is at all likely.

That is not even remotely true by any statistical measure or even by any subjective measure.
They are a joke that slipped into the playoffs because no other team in that division would take control
and then beat a formerly good team with a pathetic QB to advance, in one of the worst playoff games this century.
They are not even as good as the 7-9 team that we fielded to take down the Saints.
What they are, though, is a team that has nothing to lose and will play balls out for maybe 30 or 45 minutes on Saturday.
That is what makes me nervous.

For whatever reason it popped into my head to check out their record just now outside the NFC SOUTH...They have 3 wins outside of the divison.
W against the lions week 2 IN Carolina
W against the bears week 5 IN Carolina
W against the browns week 16..in..you guessed it...CAROLINA
So outside the division they didnt win a single road game. Funny enough INSIDE the division they won EVERY road game haha.
