Who do you think performed well today?

Yes, this loss sucked (just like every loss sucks).

I've had Bell's back and tolerated Shula best that I can, but even I'm done with giving them chances.

However, it isn't fair to focus only on the negatives. There were definitely some positives today.

1. Jonathan Stewart

He ran like a man possessed today. Vintage JStew as an earlier topic stated. I hate his contract and I hate how things go for him during the offseason, but I love the way he runs. Stewart fights and runs nasty. He's great after contact and has solid hands to go with it. He did a great job against a strong run D. Hats off to him.

 

2. Kawann Short

KK is my man crush on the defense. He blew up a couple of plays today and is a great complement to Star's brute force. This man's hands are so violent it's like watching Donnie Yen sometimes. Donnie Yen with a lazy eye and 300+ lbs of anger.

 

3. Kelvin Benjamin

Yea, he dropped a TD. The catch with Sherman and another player (was it Thomas?) draped all over him was a thing of beauty.

 

4. Kony Ealy

He did well when he was in. I like what I saw and hope that he continues to develop.

 

5. Josh Norman

He got lucky on the Luke Wilson drop when Wilson scrambled, but when he went over the top on that deep ball and almost got his 2nd pick of the day I beamed like a somamabitch. I've wanted this guy to "get it" since we drafted him and it was awesome to see him not lose us a game but instead keep us in it.

I noticed Boston miss a few assignments.  If you heard his name called, it was probably a bad thing.

 

I was watching the game at the stadium. I watched him and he had at least one good pass break up and a few tackles. That's all I can ask from a rookie. Ten times better than Godfrey.

Not Cam, judging from the endless threads. He didn't take this team on his back like he has to do every darn week. 

 

I say the other team performed well enough to win. They made me realize how little this team learns from the past. Can't believe the Seahawks beat this team by almost the same score as last season where both team played about the same.

 

But if there is a bright side, it was after that game last season where the Panthers went on the winning streak. Here's hoping

Benjamin is a stud and continues to deliver spectacular catches every game.  Why they didn't even throw him a ball at the end of the game is insane.  Dumb beyond belief.  Stewart looked the best he has in the past three seasons.  Defense as a whole looked better than last week.  

 

But it's all for naught because Cam looked awful.

Ben drops a TD that could have won this game because he had a highlight moment in your eyes. But some of u are all over Cam.

 

Jesus. How do u expect anyone to take u seriously.

I saw Star pushing mean bodies back. Several times he was in the backfield just as the option was read canceling out the running back.  Even after plays he was pushing Hawks back off the pile.

 

Norman, played like he wanted that job.

Cam I thought threw pretty well. After a while they just were very aware of our plays.. Cam wanted to make a difference in the first half, he was hyped as fug.

 

Charles Johnson, say what you want but he looked like he was in the area of the ball carrier as much as possible.

 

I think the hit alone is enough to say Thomas Davis should be here. Dayyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm son

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
