DE Hardy says 3-9 Panthers better than Falcons
 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Carolina defensive end Greg Hardy says the struggling Panthers are better team than league-leading Atlanta.

Yes, the Falcons, who have clinched the NFC South division title with an 11-1 record. The Panthers are 3-9 after losing Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs (2-10).

When asked if he meant the Panthers were the better team on Sept. 30 when they lost 30-28 at Atlanta or better overall, Hardy replied, "Both."

Hardy says this Sunday's rematch is about "payback" and "punishment."

He says, "We owe them something and it is coming."

Hardy is among several Carolina defensive players who felt disrespected by Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan after television cameras caught him cursing as he shouted get off our field toward the Panthers sidelines following Atlanta's Week 4 win at the Georgia Dome.

They are getting smarter. At least this guy figured out that talking to a reporter is FREE, instead of spending his own money to take out a newspaper ad to say a bunch of his crazy stuff. I suppose that is an improvement of sorts.

And his mouth continues to write checks his team cannot cash.

Even if the Falcons take the week off and the Kitties win, the Panthers still suck the most.

At any rate, I will be glad when we get Payton back and the Falcons can fall back into our shadow.

His team actually cashed that one. I have to say I didn't expect that to happen.

No. But nice win for them though.
