Moving on to Nawlins How do you see the game?

[philit99]

So let's move on. We know Carolina has a great front 7, and will contain the saints running game. The secondary will get tested this week for sure. I think Carolina gets on track and wins by 10 or more. If you think our fan base is bad.....This is what is going on over there on their forum.

I am just going to leave this right here.

If there was ever a game to "get right" on offense...this is it.

 

[Randolph Panther]

Lets just try and slowly improve our offense and get a win.  I look for the Saints to put up some yardage hopefully we do also. 

[Hogmolliesmaht]

This will be a "get right" game for our offense. I'm calling it right now. Our defense will give up it's first TD too, but that's OK because it will also be the only TD for the Saints in this game. I rarely make predictions but I feel good about this one. I was worried about the Bills game from the start.

[Moorgan]

Regardless of what is on paper, the Saints always seem to play us tough...even when they are starting their backup generator QB instead of Brees. I think we win but I think this will be a tough day for our defense...just because Saints. But, like everyone else, this is a good time for the O to get some rhythm and we will take our 3-0 record into NE and finally hit a complete game stride.

going to be tough , brees always gives us fits and our offense is the worst i have ever seen , we are the only running team that cant run the damn ball because our oline is such trash 

[CatAttack]

I think we will win but that it will be closer than some might think.  Worley gives up at least one long touchdown, but think our D will come up with a pick as Brees is gonna have to throw it all over the yard to beat us.  Also see 5+ sacks in this game.  Peppers, Addison, KK, and Star all get at least 1...

[L-TownCat]

I've learned not to expect things in div matchups.

These guys are gonna be 1 of 2 things, angry or disinterested.

Hard to think a team in week 3 would be resigned to failure but it's happened before.

I expect a tough game between 2 rivals.  20-13 good guys.

Lets get ready for Tom Terrific and the white knights of foxboro.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

The offense will get going but there will still be some rust.  I think theDefense continues to roll but they will look mortal against Brees. 

[Salisburysean98]

The Saints are going to do on Defense what they've done in the past to us. Crappy or not, we don't have Greg. They will attack Matt Kalil and the edges. They'll dare Cam to take off up the middle and possibly try to knock his head off even if he slides. They'll try to swarm Mccaffery and dare us to call long developing routes, which in turn will get Cam eaten alive

I don't like this game one bit, our strategy better be to get mccaffery involved into space and use blocking screens to open up plays down field and get those 8 players out of the box. Or it'll be a long day, and on Offense to negate our rush they'll try to accommodate more blocking/route rubs check and release to totally negate any pass rush we have. If we are going to hold New Orleans under 10 our Corners must play flawless. I don't see it happening, call me a Debbie downer but unless this offense takes a huge step forward I may even see a loss here. I see a 21-9 loss that leaves fans questioning the front offices decision to keep Shula around.

Shula is garbage and this is the game you'll see that. Can't teach an old dog new tricks, same offense and long developing routes. Cam may need to be carted off this game. What sucks is we can't get a run game going unless we get those 8 men out of the box. We can't get those 8 out of the box unless we prove we can either A.) Hold up in protection long enough to find the flaws in the New Orleans D to make them pay deep. Or B.) Find a way to get mccaffery and Samuel in space and kill them.  

Just my opinion, hope I'm wrong, but I'm calling it how I see it.  Defense holds Brees to 240 and their offense to 21. The problems are apparent, Shula. 

[gmonjimbo]

I expect the Saints to be playing for their season.

I am more confident about the Defense this year because of the improved play of the secondary, but this will be their biggest challenge yet. 

The Saints defense will try to replicate what the Bills Defense did yesterday, the Panthers offense has to show that they have counters or it will be another close game.

Watch for Cam Jordan to be isolated against Daryl Williams and jail break blitzes. 

I have the Panthers winning 34-17. 

[ncsportsfan1234]

I Think that the Saints offensive line is so terrible now that we hold them under 10 points.... as For the offense the saints defense is just what the doctor ordered...

 

 

38-9 Panthers Over the Saints.

[philit99]

I also see Ted Ginn wide open in the endzone for a touchdown....and drops the pass! LOL

[Cary Kollins]

The Saints will be playing desperate.

Ideally we get up on them early, crush their spirits on defense, hit Brees and force him into a couple of picks.

I feel like it could be a game that comes down to whoever has the ball last winning on a field goal.
