Not a betting man but, FWIW

Opening line for Panthers vs Saints right now is -3. I'm not a betting man, but if I was I would venture to guess that line is going to skyrocket with most of the betting public by tomorrow.

Thats basically a push for a 2-0 team vs an 0-2 team. Even if you don't like to gamble the chances of the Panthers at least winning by that small a margin against a bad team like New Orleans have got to be pretty high numerically.

Personally however, I see it as actually being a close division game against a desperate New Orleans teams that is already in Win Now Mode with only 2 weeks into the season. We can lock them in the cellar with a win though and it would feel good.

As long as Sean Payton is the coach and Drew Breeze is the QB. The Saints are still a Serious threat.

i hate to say it but i agree. we need to approach them like its week 17 and we need to win to clinch the championship. this game could be a close loss for the Panthers if they dont prepare well. or it could be a blowout win if they prepare like the Saints are the best team in the league.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
