The Falcons are toast. The Panthers are toast waiting to pop
out of the toaster. The net result is that this game is going to be somewhere
between surprisingly ferocious and
horrendous
Elite
Calvin Ridley Jersey , and I would suspect the latter.It doesn’t matter
much at this stage of the season, but as we learned last week, it’s still a
small delight to see the Falcons playing well. If they do so again, it’ll hurt
their draft stock but show their ability to hang with a rival, which is worth
something, even if it’s just a short afternoon of fleeting happiness.Anyways, to
it. This is your open thread, so enjoy (?) as you will. Atlanta Falcons @
Carolina Panthers, Week 16When:

Falcons lose, 24-20Key Questions: Will the Panthers even bother to play Cam

quality defense? Will this game be watchable? Opponent Site: Cat Scratch

TheFalcoholic ATLANTA (AP)Workers will begin the final construction phase of
Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s tricky retractable roof on Tuesday, nine months after
the facility opened.The $1.5 billion stadium will be open in good weather for
the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United games. Automation problems kept the roof
closed for most of the stadium’s first year.Beginning Tuesday, the roof will
remain in a locked open position for 10
days

Philadelphia Union.The management group of Arthur Blank, who owns the Falcons
and Atlanta United, says the final commissioning work to complete the automation
will last several weeks.When work is completed, the roof is expected to close or
open in as few as 12 minutes.”The complexity of the design and our heavy events
schedule has made it take longer than we had hoped, but great things take time
and we’re happy to see the finish line,” Steve Cannon, CEO of Blank’s management
group, said in a statement.The stadium will be host to the 2019 Super Bowl. The
NFL prefers for the roof to be open for the Super
Bowl

Ridley Jersey , weather permitting.The roof has been closed for most major
events at the new stadium, including the Southeastern Conference championship
game, Peach Bowl and College Football Playoff national championship game.For the
Falcons’ first season in their new home, the roof was open only for the first
home regular-season game against Green Bay.Falcons CEO Rich McKay said on Jan.

operational.””Fully operational means you will see us go to much more of an open
configuration as we designed at the beginning,” McKay said. ”When it’s ready to
go, we’ll be open depending on weather.”Ongoing work on the roof delayed the
2017 opening of the stadium by about a month. Atlanta United used Georgia Tech’s
Bobby Dodd Stadium as its temporary home for the inaugural season in 2017 before
moving to the new stadium.The stadium will host the men’s NCAA Final Four in
2020.—
