Saints bye week this week, Panthers get a short week going into New Orleans

Cam, Oher, Stewart, Butler, and Bradberry will all be healthy and well-rested by then.

*knock on wood*

Doubt it. Bradberry may be out a while. Turf toe isn't usually a one week thing. Can't predict the concussion prototcol either. Possibly won't see Cam and/or Oher till after the bye.

 It doesn't help that our secondary is in transition. Right now it's sloppy with lots of blown coverage, and eventually it will be nearly mistake free with tight zone coverage. But how long will it take to improve? Probably until mid-season. So I'm expecting a loss against the Saints the first game.

Honestly, tomorrow night is a must win. Next week is likely a loss. If the Panthers are 1-5 going into their bye.... It is over. The schedule only gets tougher. 

Yep, pretty much.  If that happens, ya know, going from the Super Bowl to complete poo in one year.  If anyone blames anybody but Gettlemen and the coaching staff.  Well, they're completely wrong.

The x-factor is the health of Atlanta and N.O over the course of the season. If the injury bug strikes we might be able to catch up to them even with a bad start. N.O, although not super talented, still has the offensive fire power to light up our secondary like Chernobyl. The thing is that actually our secondary is actually much faster than last season's, but we're shooting ourselves in the foot with poor execution.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
