If Wentz is out, which NFC team is clearly better than us besides the Saints?

I actually think we're a closer matchup with the Saints than many of you may believe. It took us fumbling a punt, fumbling a punt attempt, Devin barely being out of bounds on an onside kick, a terrible missed neutral zone infraction, and a dumb penalty by peppers for the saints to sneak out a win against us. 

Also it's just flat out hard to beat a team three times in the same season. I really do think we will win if we play them again. If we can block Cam Jordan and find a band aid solution for Kamara I like our odds

We're a good match up with them if we can defend the run like we're capable of. Payton seemed like he forgot Kamara was on the team for a bit in the second quarter in that game

I think we *could* beat the Saints and it's definitely hard to beat a team 3 times in one year, hasn't happened often in NFL history. However, it's also very hard to make the case that you're better than a team that swept you and beat you both times by double digits.

That's only the Saints though. The case can be made that we're better than all the rest.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
