Battle for Early NFCS Supremacy

So far the battle for who gets to be the King of the South has been a battle of who can suck the least. Neither of these teams has performed up to expectations. Both have struggled on both sides of the ball at times, and have shown flashes on both sides of the ball at times. Both fan bases are hoping for a turn in the right direction and a late season push.

The Panthers are coming off a hard fought loss at home to the defending champs. While the Seahawks haven't looked anything like the team they were last year, they're still a formidable opponent and not someone to hang your head about losing to. The defense had it's best performance to date and the offense seemed to move the ball effectively, just stall out in the redzone. Is the change on defense a sign of things to come? Or just an aberration?

The Saints are coming off of a comfortable win against the red hot Packers at home. While we all know why the Saints bring in the Superdome, the trick is to carry the momentum on the road, were after Thursday night, the Saints will have already played 5 games. The offense was clicking and while the defense gave up a ton of yards, they buckled down in the redzone and forced field goals and a turnover. Again, a sign of things to come? Or an aberration?

Anyway, here's to a fun, injury free game! While the teams records will make this a boring game for fans outside of the South, it's the most important game of the year for at least two teams fan bases. I would wish you good luck, but I wouldn't mean it! Any questions? Fire away. I don't plan on responding to much poo talk, as I know Zods running a bit of a tight ship right now.

It is still (kind of) early. Our division looks trash as of right now but a few win streaks could change that. There are always teams that start slow and end up turning it on late in the season. There are also teams that look like playoff locks each year and end up going belly up. With that being said, I expected a good game. It is a division game plus both teams look for something to prove. Lets go Panthers!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
