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.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
