NFC South will be won the old fashioned way


NAS

Recommended Posts

Four of our remaining 8 games will be against Division opponents, including 2 against the Falcons. Whoever wins the NFC South will need to have a winning record.  So far we-re 1:1.  I think we need to at least split with Atlanta and have to find a way to beat the Saints in their house.  If we don't beat the Falcons on Sunday, I think our road to the NFC South title, and even the playoffs becomes much harder.

I expect 4-0. You could muster all sorts of reasons why that's so supposedly preposterous, but you've got two important games bookending two very winnable games. Get it done. Keep Pounding. 

 

Do that and you put yourself in position to finish very strong when you look at the schedule and the circumstances surrounding your opponents. You'll have an erratic Vikings team and presumably a backup QB the week after, then a division game on Christmas Eve against a bad Tampa team that will not have had a break in 3 months. All at home. Then you make your annual takeover of the once Georgia dome.

 

Just go do it.

Its the Mercedes Benz Dome now but that is besides the pint we need to just go in there and take care of business and win it.

For one the Falcons still have a loaded team with many dangerous players. It pains me to say it but the Saints with their suddenly out of the blue good D and Falcons still remain threats to our survival getting to and through playoffs.

I actually said that  2 months ago that Saints would be a good team especially running the ball.

Panthers have the right defense and long as there is no major injury on offense & with Olsen returning we will beat all of them.

I'm going back to this exact quote if we get blown out by the Falcons on Sunday . They still have the players that shredded us last year and our defense isn't indestructible against good QBs (see N.O. game, Patriots game, Lions game, Eagles game) . They'll be getting the ball out quickly to avoid our pass rush and even Doug Martin was killing us on the ground last week.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
