This might be the week the NFC South bounces back.

Last week, 3 out of the 4 teams in the NFC South faced tough road games against teams contending for playoff spots.  And all of them lost.

 

Falcons @ Ravens

Saints @ Lions

Panthers @ Packers

(Tampa on a bye)

 

This week, all 4 NFC South teams are at home.  

 

Lions @ Falcons

Packers @ Saints

Seahawks @ Panthers

Vikings @ Bucs

 

It's no secret the Falcons and Saints play much better at home in their domes.  I expect the Saints to give the Packers all they can handle and might squeak out a win.   The Falcons/Lions matchup has potential to be a shootout and might be close to over/under 80 points.  The Panthers get the Seahawks making their second consecutive cross-country trip and playing what amounts to a 10am game for them.  After losing at home to the Seahawks the past two seasons, I think this might be the year the Panthers finally beat them.  And Tampa gets a winnable game at home against the struggling Vikings who've lost three straight. 

 

The NFC South might be the worst division in the NFL right now, but I think this might be the week they show some life and bounce back.

Saints will get smoked by GB.

 

Detroit's pass rush will eat Matt Ryan alive.

 

Bucs and Vikes are two terrible teams, so Bucs might have a chance.

 

I would love nothing more than another 1-3 NFCS week, with Carolina being the only victor.

 

I don't care what others think about the division.

I sure hope not and I for one don't think the saints stand a chance vs the packers home or not.

 

I'm taking off my homer glasses for this.  If Jimmy Graham is anything close to healthy, he's going to have a big game.  Olsen had 8 catches on 8 targets for 105 yards against the Packers.  The Saints would be wise to feed Graham over the middle and take advantage of the Packers weakness in covering the TE.

truly, anything can happen any week in the modern NFL. there are very few "gimme" games. while i think its possible that the NFC south goes 4-0 this week, i highly doubt it. The Saints and Bucs have the best chance at winning their games. I dont think Atlanta will pull out a win against that stiff Detroit defense. and our beloved Panthers face a much better Seattle team that is just as desperate as we are. it wouldnt surprise me at all if Tampa is the only NFC South team to win this week... of course, it wouldnt surprise me at all if Tampa loses to the lowly Vikings either...

    • You don't have to go through every game and point it out as we are discussing his GWDs. You specifically called out that he had GWDs because he is the reason the team is always playing from behind. We looked at those eight games and only Miami stands out as one where he put the team in a hole to begin with. You've added the Atlanta game where the team didn't score a TD but only kicked field goals. You're not trying to change what we're discussing to fit your feelings re: Bryce. That's not necessary. We are discussing GWDs per the thread topic. We have also shown that your opinion that the team has had to always come back due to Bryce was proven to be false as was the claim that "minus one game" was his fault. Appealing to emotion afterwards by trying to broadly paint the rest of the losses in the same way just doesn't work. Where in the Hell did you get that the entire point is the suggestion that BY is more clutch than Jake and/or Cam? It's giving something to be positive about in that Bryce has shown the ability to comeback and win games despite the calamity that might have taken place to put them behind to begin with. How is that blasphemy?
    • His run blocking is making up for his negatives in pass blocking right now.  He’ll still have pass blocking hiccups, but if they think he’s a critical part to the locker room and team construction, you probably re-sign him and try not to overpay.
    • Callahan is gone McDaniel and Taylor are happening Stefanski is a growing possibility. I mean, they need to get an offense going eventually.  Could see Morris as a surprise one.
