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 must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
