A bad week for our NFC South rivals

If you're looking for the silver lining, here it is:

The Saints are on the road, going to Dallas. The Cowboys definitely aren't slouches this year, and their defense is better than expected. Their offense is excellent, per usual, and they'll be going up against a Saints defense on that is terrible on the road. I truly believe the Cowboys will win this game. 

As for Atlanta, they're traveling to Minnesota. They're playing a Vikings team that is now led by Teddy Bridgewater, who looked 100 times better than Cassel did vs. the Saints (He almost won on the road against the Saints, btw). I think Asiata gives the Falcons front seven a lot of trouble, while Bridgewater throws some quick dump-off passes to tire out a mediocre Atlanta defense.

So if both of our rivals lose, that'll put the Saints at 1-3, and the Falcons at 2-2. A win in Baltimore and we're one game ahead. A loss in Baltimore, and we'd still be tied.

I don't see the Saints or Falcons losing. I don't think you realize just how bad Minnesota is

Minnesota with Teddy Bridgewater looked like a whole different animal. Saints defense is a lot better than Atlanta's, especially when they're under the dome. Bridgewater was dangerous with his feet and his passing was efficient.

Yeah I totally agree about Bridgewater, I thought he came in and did a nice job and showed good awareness all things considered. But they also just lost Rudolph, Norv loves his tight ends and so do young QB's. Hopefully the crowd will be into it being Teddy's first start and that can give them some momentum.

Last season the Cowboys travelled to the dome and I don't think they stopped Brees on a single possession. Their D hasn't gotten any better so I expect pretty much the same thing. We basically need to hope for Romo to have a fantastic game in order for them to win this one and I have zero faith in Romo.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
