Halfway Through The Season, NFC South Is Wide Open

New Orleans Saints  5-2

Carolina Panthers 5-3 

Atlanta Falcons 4-3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-5 

 

Next game against the Falcons is huge. There's pretty much no way the Saints will lose to the Bucs next week and the Falcons are right behind us. If we lose and the Falcons, Saints win next week division will look like this : 

Saints 6-2

Falcons 5-3

Panthers 5-4 

Bucs 2-6 

A loss to the Falcons could immediately self destruct our chance to win the division and require us to pretty much sweep the divisonal games afterwards to stand any chance.This week 9 matchup against ATL is by far the most important game of the season thus far. Here's what it looks like if we win, Saints win , Falcons lose, Bucs lose (the optomistic outlook imo)

Saints 6-2

Panthers 6-3  (keep in mind saints still have a head to head win against us, so even if our records were the same they would still by 1st in division)

Falcons 4-4

Bucs 2-6 

We're basically going to be in a head to head race against the Saints for the division if we can string together some wins here.

Tampa NO is a toss up. Tampa has had good games this year and Aints didn't look so hot this week. We need to beat the Falcons this week for sure. No doubt.

Too bad we're 1-2 at home . I believe we'll have to score over 20 to win against the Falcons .

The Bucs had the #1 passing attack in the league prior to that beatdown we just gave them on defense. They could easily take the game against the Saints who just almost lost to the Bears. Indeed, they really could have considering the refs absolutely flat out robbed Zach Miller of a TD and thus 4 points were taken off the board for Chicago.

      Nussmeier shows all the qualities, but has a really bad game here and there. Sellers is raw, we will see how things play out.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By frankw · Posted

      Well let's be realistic here. He could have taken one look at Bryce Young on tape and known what he was getting. As JackieLee stated his work with QB's like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield is a big contributing factor in why he was hired. At the same time we also have to recognize other factors. Seemingly and realistically he was the only one seriously considering the job. And as far as "fixing" Bryce Young goes one entire staff has already gotten the axe over him. Frank Reich was vilified as possibly the worst head coaching hire ever. 2 years later the more we see of Bryce the more it looks like he was the problem. Right now we are at a true crossroads. We cannot just play out the season with Young and be a serious franchise. We have to try and see what we have in the young roster and firmly get some sort of look at Canales offense. At this point Dave Canales needs to earn the right to draft his own QB. So far he has developed bupkis at the most important position. And he and Dan Morgan made the decision to not give Bryce Young one iota of competition for the third year in a row. He cannot claim the cupboards are bare beyond his control.
