Items of note: 

 

Saints have the #2 offense in the league and playing on their home turf. Not an easy task to stop. 

This game showcases two top 5 rushing offenses. 

Drew Brees does not get sacked often. Cam more than average. 

Panthers win in the 3rd down efficiency category. 

Saints defense is slightly above average overall, which is all they have ever needed with their offense over the years.

a great defense trumps a great offense, ala seahawks/broncos and broncos/panthers. 

also, the one stat that will be the difference maker is 3rd down efficiency. Keeping drives alive and keeping Brees and company off the field is paramount.

Ron, this is the one game where TOP actually matters. don't fug it up by calling bombs on 3rd and 1.

Games like this is were Rivera is extremely good. Control the Top, run down the defense, and don't give yards with penalties. Brees want make many mistakes because he never has. It will come down to what defense can make more plays. Our playoffs def start Sunday.

This isn't the same team N.O. played earlier. These guys are playing with heart. The offense has been focused on speed with the departure of KB. McCaffrey has adjusted to the speed of the NFL and is getting more production. The defense is the rock of this franchise. All the offense has to do is not f' it up.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
