We got lucky last season?

 

BR obviously has no idea what luck Is. 

 

What a frigin joke 

 

 

I knew this would  be fun. I like the #1 reason.........because Sean Peyton is angry. Good stuff. I realize it's just a homer fluff piece like someone else pointed out, still fun though. Is it September yet?

I don't understand how this team is so loved after losing arguably a top 5-10 offensive talent in Graham while still not proving they can play any defense.

 

You don't win without defense.

 

Cheating stuff aside, the Patriots improved defensive play is what put them over the top. I don't have to elaborate on Seattle. The Colts have all that offense but their defense is soft and it showed.

 

The Saints and Falcons both have mediocre defenses at best and that's why I'm not too worried about them.

 

Any analyst that looks at this Saints team or the Falcons and projects them as champs are putting their eggs in a risky basket.

 

I'll take a consistent defense any day over flashy offense, especially a flashy offense with less weapons.

Didn't they lose Pierre Thomas too? He was a good player/fit for them.

Meh. We went out there and crushed both the Saints and Falcons last year, when the season was on the line, clearly showing were the cream of the crop in the division. Now, the Saints might've gotten better over the offseason, but we've made moves to better ourselves as well plus our young guys are a year older. 

I really feel we're getting that NFCS crown again.

look at how entitled saints fans are

oh no it's not possible that the panthers could have maybe been a better team in 2014 as evidenced by both of the blowout victories on the road in hostile stadiums against teams in contention for the division late in the year.  it was just blind, dumb luck.

e: also have to praise the writer for his quality analysis of our first round pick which basically boiled down to "mel kiper had breshad perriman ranked higher and the panthers didn't need a linebacker".  great poo i'm sure espn is going to be lighting your phone up any minute.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
