A quick, heartfelt "Thank You" to the New Orleans Saints

Recommended Posts

Two straight weeks, the panthers will have faced teams feeling pretty good about their respective offenses, thanks to the saints' revolutionary "bend and break, then bend and break some more" defense. 

Skillfully crafted by a bearded blob of stale vanilla pudding named Rob Ryan, this revolutionary defensive scheme hinges on letting the opposing team score as quickly as possible so the team can maximize the amount of passing stats Drew Brees can amass.  Those stats are what it's all about.

Anyway, the Titans put up 34 points on you guys in a win, so thank you for that.  They were feeling pretty good about themselves, coming home to face a real NFC South opponent and got punched in the mouth.

Now this week, you have played the Redskins, who put up 47 points on you.  Wow, Saints fans!  I knew that you normally enjoy letting cousins violate you down in Louisiana, but Kirk passed through your defense faster than creole food passes through SCP's lower intestinal tract.  That's fast. 

Kirk Cousins is likely to come into BoA stadium thinking life is pretty easy, only to freefall back to earth once again.  You like that?  You like that?

*we are different though....right?

If we were in their shoes, and our team had to go on the road to play an undefeated team......    more than half of our posters would predict us to lose....and rightfully so.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
