Official Saints at Panthers Gameday Thread!!!

Games a must win. We cannot afford to lose a divisional game, and we cannot afford to lose more than 1 game from here on out.

We need to start something before that 2 week stretch against an upstart Raiders team and Seahawks.

But, for the love of God, I want to see us CLOSE out games. That is what's killing us lately.

it may be time to win with Newton not running for 1st downs/TDs, having our QB get hurt at this point in the 2016 season is so stupid.

If we can score points without him taking hits outside the pocket and our Defense can get some turnovers, it would be a sign of team maturity. Normally i would say play to beat the Saints at any costs but with Oher out and Kalill nicked up ( and Gino hurt), I think we need a quick passing game and let the RBs do their job and for the love of god, protect Newton from any more head hunting hits. This needs to be a team win on a quick turnaround game...

No room for error.  Backs against the wall.  Us against the world.  Whatever slogan you want to use to provide motivation.  We have done well the past couple of years when put into this situation.  Two years ago we went into the dome and won 41-10 to keep our playoff hopes alive.   We need to play with a chip on our shoulders.  Its Primetime, division rival, playoff implications, etc. If you can't get up for this game, don't need to be on this team.

Panthers 27-24 (Saints get a score late to make it close)

Bold Predictions:  Cam has 2 Passing & 1 Rushing TD.  JStew runs for over 100 but Cam punches it in.  Gano makes up for some bad kicks this season with 2 45+ FGs. Defense has 2 INTs and 3 Sacks on Brees.

    • I can't think of one team that has paid a mediocre QB the obligatory $50m and then became a dynasty.  To me, it is like locking in hopes of mediocrity.  If you do not have a franchise, championship qb by year 5, move on.  I have no issues with bringing in damaged goods as backups and continuing to draft QBs until you hit jackpot, but we have been protecting Bryce from competition and babying him as he played below average since he was drafted.  I don't get it.  
    • If you have a sub-.500 team and your 1st and 2nd rounders (honestly, I'd go as deep as 3rd rpund) aren't getting very significant playing time in their rookie season you done fuged up.
    • Youre leaving off a very key stat. Darnold threw for over 4k yards last year. That's 1k yards more than Bryce. That's driving an offense and showing an ability to push the ball down field. Bryce hasn't shown he can do that with any type of consistency. Has he had moments, yes. But overall, our offense under his control really struggles.  We had 30 4th down attempts last year, and Bryce threw for just over 200 yards and 3 TDs on 4th down. That means he had just 2800 yards downs 1-3 with 20 TDs for the season. That's terrible for a starting QB. That backup level performance.  I don't even care that it's Bryce Young putting up these stats. It's our immense dedication to any QB that's doing this poorly overall and is an uncontested entrenched starter and people are talking franchise QB extension.  Brissett last year was a 6m per season backup and if his starts we're averaged over 16 games, he would have had 4400/30 and 13. I'd be good with paying for those numbers. Those numbers show an offense that can move with a QB. We just don't get that from our QB right now.  This isn't hate on Bryce. Our level of play from the most impactful position on the field has been bad. That has to change if we ever want to be serious about winning in Carolina. You cannot designate 50m plus per season to receive that level of performance. It will be a cap crushing move.
