Can we all agree Thu is a must win?

If we hope to maintain any semblance of  the possibility of winning this division? Saints are very good at home and very beatable on the road. I don't think this team can afford to fall two games back of the Saints, splitting the series is extremely important.

They all are, and im not just saying it because it is cliche. If we won two more games we either lost or tied, we would be in good position.

So the answer is yes. Not only do we lose, but Saints would win. We cant afford to be behind because we can only affect one more of their games. Winning division is extremely important, and given the situation, the heat has turned up. This is a game we must win if we want to stay in the lead and remain in good position to make playoffs.

With our schedule vs New Orleans it isn't quite a must win. NO still has Ravens, Niners, Bengals and Steelers.

 

Having said that if we lose we will be behind by a half game and NO controls their own destiny.

Technically we both control our own destiny. Even if we lose Thursday we can win out and win the division.

 

For what it is worth.

Those are all home games for the Saints. I think they atleast 3 of those if not all of them.

I hope we do win Thursday, but don't be fooled. They are still a high powered offense and can put up 30 on anyone in any given game. I know they don't play well out doors. We aren't playing great indoors or out so it's a wash. My fears are that if we lose it will start a down ward spiral that will be hard to stop.

Saints win. Panthers with will be deflated from yesterday, yesterday's loss was the Panthers 2012 Falcons loss moment, it will derail their whole season, plus Jimmy Graham is playing well again

 

 

 

when the Panthers win the Superbowl in the next few years, and you're claiming fandom, I will remember you for the traitor you are.

I can easily say it means more to the Panthers. Home game, short week with their backs against the walls in the biggest game of the season so far coming off a loss, while the Saints are fat and happy after a home win and will come out flat while the Panthers come out motivated.

This is a must win, and I think this was the perfect week for this game.  If we had a full week to prep, I think we dwell on what happened instead of getting focused, now we have no choice but to be focused.  On top of that, we are at home, and while it might only be 7 hours, I'm glad we played sunday during the day and not Sunday night like the Saints.  Saints have almost no time to prep for this game.  The prognosticators will pick the saints cuzz they beat GB, but we've got everything on our side.  We not only win this game, I think we win in convincing fashion.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
