Michael Irvin thinks we're the team set for the playoffs

and not the Saints

 

 

USA TODAY Sports: Which of these two teams is built best for a run in the playoffs?

Irvin: “I would say the Panthers, because they can win games on the road. They play great defense and they can travel, when they’re committed to playing. That was a physical game last week against the Seattle Seahawks. That was a physical game. If the Panthers play like that — if they hit the Saints like they were hitting Seattle — that’s going to be a tough game for the Saints.

: 

“The Panthers have that in them. I think they have that opportunity. The Saints don’t have that in them, but they have more dynamic ability on offense.”

NFL.com disagrees.  Man, do they.

 

Judy Battista, Brian Billick, Gil Brandt, Bucky Brooks, Charley Casserly, Dave Dameshek, Elliot Harrison, Adam Schein all pick the Saints

Michael Silver picks the Falcons.

 

 

Judy Battista: New Orleans Saints. Does there have to be a winner of this division? OK, if you insist, I'll go with New Orleans. Because at least Drew Brees is still good.

Brian Billick: Saints. Drew Brees is better than Cam Newton.

Gil Brandt: Saints. With no one else in this division really playing well, the Saints should be able to reach the playoffs with nine wins.

Bucky Brooks: Saints. Mark Ingram's breakout campaign helps the Saints' offense regain the explosiveness that made it one of the most feared units in football for years.

Charley Casserly: Saints. Atlanta and Tampa Bay won't challenge for the playoffs. New Orleans is a better team than Carolina. Two of their four losses have occurred because of breakdowns in the secondary. I'm betting on them cleaning up those problems.

Dave Dameshek: Saints. Healthy Graham and Ingram = enough wins to take the lousy South.

Elliot Harrison: Saints. New Orleans wins the NFC South with 10 wins -- tops. Honestly, in this division, it probably won't take anywhere near that.

Adam Schein: Saints. Could the Saints win the division at 7-9?

Michael Silver: Atlanta Falcons. Hey, someone has to win this brutal division. It likely won't be my preseason pick, a.k.a. The Yucks.

This entire article is taken down if the Panhers win tonight as the "experts" begin a mad scramble to retake some credibility.

Cam is just way too streaky and inconsistent, he has single handily cost us too many games by not throwing the ball away when we get in FG range and takes a sack to get us out of FG range, it happened last week and has happened plenty of times before.

I absloutely hate it when he doesnt throw the ball away, he throws that ball away last week and we get the FG, its a different game.

he must be back on the crack

 

 

:)

 

That crack is called "cash." Mike is a weekly guest on Primetime on WFNZ, so maybe there's a little homerism there, but he isn't totally off. The Panthers should be the more physical team tonight. The problem is twofold. One, they are rarely the smartest team on the field. Smart beats physical most of the time. And two, this guy won't be playing tonight.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
