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.

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
