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.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
