Bigger Team Problem: Saints' road woes vs. lousy Panthers offense

The NFC South might be the least competitive division in football this season, and for varied reasons. The Bucs are in rebuild mode and a work in progress. The Falcons' problem is pretty obvious, they have no defense or offensive line to protect their error prone QB. The Saints' are a terrible team on the road and are infinitely more competitive on their home turf.

As for the panthers, we run an offense that somehow has cam newton on it and lacks any explosiveness at the same time. I know people will point to our lack of offensive line talent, but it wouldn't be nearly as bad if the panthers actually had a gameplan that didn't include expecting a patchwork offensive line to play perfectly and block for 20 second WR routes to develop. Every week the Panthers come in with the same mindnumbing offensive strategy by running up the middle and haplessly trying to throw downfield. That may work against certain teams but only if their front seven is even less physical.

So expect one of two things to happen on Thursday:

1. The Panthers are going to gift wrap the Saints their first road win of the season as well as their first in over 11 months because Ron and Mike want to play 1970s ball control grind it out offense with a guy who might as well be a fuging jedi knight in Cam Newton against the Saints' potentially lethal spread, or...

2. The Saints really are that fuging bad on the road and are going to play a sloppy game against the Panthers to the point that they lose in comedic fashion. And then the Panthers are going to get poo on by the Eagles next week.

I'm leaning towards a big fat L and Ron continuing to manufacture reasons why Byron Bell is actually a good player on Friday being the most realistic possibility. But for the sake of all of us, if we're going to lose I'd hope at least Mike Shula pisses off Ron by dropping a pass in the endzone and gets fired the next day.

Love,

Frash

God forbid we lose Thursday night. If that does occur then I can see this whole thing going down the toilet pretty quickly...especially with the Eagles up next in Philly. Suicide watch for some on here will begin at 11:30 eastern time if that happens.

Our OLine can't handle anything that takes time to develop (deep passing). Not sure why we haven't adjusted to a west coast short dink and dunk passing scheme. Olsen is perfect for that. Benji can out muscle defenders in the middle on slants. Cam has proven he can read and throw from the pocket. Why can't we call plays that mask our weaknesses?

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
