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.

We aren't going to lose any of the NFC south divison games

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.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
