Let's not forget this same Saints team played us down to the wire earlier this year.  Beating Drew Brees in the dome isn't a cake walk.  

true but I would argue we are three times the team today than we were back in week 3. that's one thing that amazes me this year, we seem to be better every game. surely we will take a step back at some point but hopefully it won't cost us anything.

I just don't think the team is very talented. Not sure you can turn that around. They had a pretty good draft and we've got a poo ton of young guys playing a lot of minutes. 

But let's be real, a team with over $30 million in salaries that aren't on the team is going to have a talent problem.

We all know where you are at....we have suffered through 1-15 and 2-14 seasons fairly recently.  Not to mention that cap hell left by Hurney.

Kuechly didn't play in that game. Kony was still getting up to speed after a lazy offseason and Jared Allen wasn't on the roster.

Payton's ability to exploit Luke's absence that day has me concerned about our nickel spot which explains why we are getting Jones out of there this week.

Honestly I expect this one to be closer than most people think.  Not because I think the Saints are a particularly good team - far from it.  But because the Saints KNOW the Panthers well.  Division games are always the toughest, and the Saints almost beat the Panthers with their backup QB playing.  Hell the Saints might want to trot him out next week there because Brees looked terrible today.  Commercial might have had some unintended real life wisdom. Saints will be pumped up for this one, but I just don't think they have the talent or the coaching to win.

Panthers 30

Saints 21

i agree. think something is still wrong with brees injury-wise, dude just doesnt look healthy anymore. and mccown absolutely tore up this secondary last time.

    • When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
    • Dude you are smart fan. 3 on 0 breakaways won’t matter who is in net. You gotta be better on this one. 
    • Raiders are gonna get a good one. Rather have Mendoza fly out and play for the Panthers tomorrow than Bryce
