Battle for Early NFCS Supremacy

Recommended Posts

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!

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
