News » Made from Scratch: Panthers at Falcons

It’s week two of the regular season and the Carolina Panthers have a perfect record so far. That’s the good news. The bad news Shaq Thompson Jersey , is the offensive line is completely decimated by injury, Greg Olsen re-injured his foot, and there is a major hurricane named Florence barreling toward North and South Carolina with the potential to make water polo the only sport anyone can even consider playing in Charlotte. In other words...Regardless of all of this, the Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons have a game to play this Sunday, one that is thankfully scheduled to be played under the roof at Mercedes-Benz stadium in Georgia. I would take this opportunity to make a joke about Chic-Fil-A not being available, but at least the people of Atlanta will probably possess the capacity to make other chicken this weekend, unlike us.Both teams come in with their fair share of injuries. with the Atlanta Falcons losing Keanu Neal and Deion Jones to season ending injuries to match the Panthers losing Greg Olsen and Daryl Williams. The net result is going to be banged up defense versus a banged up offense, and this could potentially be a lower scoring game than the two sides are used to in these yearly contests. In the end, I think it is going to boil down to which team can ultimately buy their quarterback enough time, and while that would seem to favor Atlanta, there could be a lot more broken coverages to exploit for Cam Newton rather than Matt Ryan. I expect a close contest, and hopefully I’ll be able to watch it.With that final thought in mind, I figured with most of our audience under threat of this hurricane Authentic C.J. Anderson Jersey , this would be a good week to roll out a non-perishable treat that you can make regardless of having power or not. You can go ahead and make this now while you do, but you could even make this with the help of a simple gas stove or outdoor grill.Loaded Rice Krispie Treatshttps://insidebrucrewlife.com/mons...spie-treats/The recipe this week is courtesy of insidebrucrewlife.com, and in the interest of not robbing them of clicks, I’d say visit the above link and check it out there. All of you reading in the Carolinas, stay safe out there, we at Cat Scratch Reader hope all of you pull through this storm with all friends, family, and property intact. Always...KEEP POUNDING. In the macro view, the fact that Panthers quarterback Cam Newton didn’t want to throw a Hail Mary聽yesterday is probably the bigger deal.But the play backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke made in a whirlwind of activity before halftime of their win against the Ravens deserves noting, if only because of the sheer volume of stuff he was dealing with.The Panthers were about to try to heave it to the end zone, with the play clock running, when Newton told coaches he wasn’t confident enough in his right shoulder to try it (after not throwing in practice last week). So Heinicke was called in by coach Ron Rivera and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner, and given instructions to make his second career NFL pass attempt.鈥淥h my God Youth Greg Van Roten Jersey , it was chaotic,” Heinicke said, via Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer. “Scott and Rivera just look at me real quick and go, 鈥楪o swing it.鈥欌€淚 looked at the play clock and it鈥檚 at like, 15 seconds.’ . . .They just threw me in there, I was like 鈥榟ere we go.’ It could have been pretty ugly.鈥滻nstead, Heinicke made either an instinctively brilliant play or a lucky one. With the Ravens blitzing to try to disrupt the play, Heinicke found Greg Olsen for a 13-yard gain which put them in position for a Graham Gano field goal. Olsen recognized the blitz when he saw Ravens pass-rusher Terrell Suggs creep toward the line, and started yelling at Heinicke to change the play.鈥淚 look up and I see eight guys running at me,鈥?Heinicke said. 鈥淎nd [Olsen] is screaming at the top of his lungs. So I gave it to him. . . .鈥淭hat鈥檚 something you really can鈥檛 coach or prepare for. We鈥檙e glad it happened. . . . I was ready to just throw it as far as I could and hopefully someone came down with it in the end zone. But it kind of worked out better. Because the chances of that were slim.鈥漈he one play he asked out from didn’t detract from a brilliant day by Newton, whose last five quarters have been MVP-level. And the fact they have a backup with enough awareness to make the smart play instead of the heroic one is another good sign for the Panthers.
