This looks VERY doable. We have gimme games against the Saints on TNF, the Browns, and the Bucs. We'll be favored to beat the Falcons at least once and against the Vikings. That's 5 more wins. We'll just need to win 1 game where we're not favored and we go 9-7. With that 1 game advantage on the Saints and Falcons, I think we win the NFC South that way. Their defenses are abominations and Drew Brees is looking rough.

All aboard the 9-7 NFC South Champion Carolina Panthers bandwagon?

I had the same exact assessment as you earlier today. I agree on every point you said.

Too many are too fearful of the Saints. Have you guys actually seen them play this year? They're terrible, they should have lost to Tampa at HOME yesterday.

I wouldn't sleep on Tampa. They have looked a lot better with Glennon back at QB.

Here is my conspiracy theory.. I think Rivera is playing chess not checkers. Im thinking they arent overly concerned winning against AFC teams as they are winning against NFC teams. No im not saying we dont try to win the AFC ones, im just saying that maybe we focus more on the NFC teams so incase we dont win the division we have both head to head tie breakers and conference record tie breakers with other potential wild card teams. We are 3-0 in the NFC now and 0-2 against AFC teams.

Not bad but I don't see Rivera as the type to overlook anyone, especially not the Ravens.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.

      Bam Martin-Scott: Most likely UDFA to stick?

      By Icege · Posted

      From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
