Some pretty interesting and good matchups for the first Monday Night series of the year. Saints have changed a good bit and we play them in a couple weeks, and also play the Vikings later in the year. Also Ginn and AJ Klein are on the Saints while I believe Remmers is starting for the Vikings, and this is the premier of a bunch of high profile rookies (Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore, Ryan Ramczyk) (second game : Demarcus Walker, Carlos Henderson /Mike Williams, Jake Butt wont make their debut until probably the 2nd half of the season) . Obviously pulling for the Vikings to put the Saints as the only team with a loss in the division, and thus in last place..

2nd game is a bit less interesting since I don't care too much about either team and we aren't playing either of them unless we meet either of them in the Super Bowl . Also a very late game I doubt a bunch of people on the east coast will be watching. Although I will be watching it because I always have monday tuesday wednesdays off from work and have nothing better to do . The Broncos are heavily favored and the chargers were ass last year, Rivers went to NC State once upon a time and I obviously dont like Denver so Ill be cheering for the Chargers to pull the upset.

The Saints beating the Vikings would be a bigger upset than the Chargers beating the Broncos.  The Chargers can get after the QB.  Overall wouldn't bet either way though.  Might as well have dubbed these the snooze bowls between teams going nowhere, all likely to pick between 10-20 in next year's draft.

Gonna be a tough game. Vikings defense is legit. Interested to see how Ramczyk holds up at LT. The offense really struggled to move the ball in the preseason, albeit Drew only played one series and they drove down the field for a FG. The RB battle will be a good one to watch, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Payton feature Peterson tonight. 

The Vikings offense struggled to move the ball last year and should be a good learning game for the new players on defense. I expect Cam to give Remmers a problem all night, but I'll be watching the rest of the line to see if they can give him some help. Rankins has been pretty stout this preseason. Hoping it translates over. Finally some speed and athletiscm in the linebacking corp. Really have enjoyed watching Klein so far. He's not Kuechly, but playing with him sure has helped. Then I pray for no injuries in the back end this year.

Unfortunately, I think the awful offensive line of the Vikings might skew how the Saints defense will look. I'm thinking next week we will see a more true version of the Saints. But who knows? I'll be watching regardless.

The Seahawks have by far the worst OL in football (on display yesterday)-but yes, the Vikings deserve Honorable Mention.

I like the Vikings stadium a lot more than that s*** they have in ATL

Yep, but the Metrodome roof collapsed and the threat of relocation to LA was real.  Still a political quagmire in Minny.  

I say with no relocation threat and multiple cities with far more disastrous stadiums/demographics than CLT, that BOA will remain home of the Panthers for a long time regardless of owner.

      Lol Atlanta looks to have lost their young edge rusher, has no 1st round pick, a complete mess at QB, a new coaching staff… And we swept them this year. Says what they think of us.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.

      Then why is Byce also last in other PFF stats?  The deep ball thrower stat by PFF can simply be flawed vs some conspiracy trying to prop up a QB on a team that a former employee now works for.  Both of these guys were also hired AFTER the Panthers had already drafted Bryce.  Trying to prop him up with a made up stat while he struggled would be a detriment to their own team honestly.
