Welp.... What are the chances we win a playoff game?

Honestly, I feel like Luke is as much an X-factor as Carolina's offense. Not sure what the issue is, if any, but he's been very inconsistent this year (if only.compared to his elite play of years past) and the defense will need him to be on absolutely point from both the in-play and pre-play perspectives. If mortal Luke takes the field then NO's chances of hanging 35+ go way up.

TOs,

Hopefully LBs & CBs grab a couple this game.

I think you guys beat the Saints next week. Line is -5.5, so that's only a one possession game.  Your defense is completely healthy so I don't see them going off.  You just played in a loud dome so this was your dress rehearsal.  Keep them under 20 and win  Beating a team 3 times in one season is super difficult.  Rarely Happens. 

By "loud dome" you don't mean in Atlanta, do you? We're not talking about who has the louder audio system.

Also since 1990, division rivals have met in the play-offs 16 times after one team swept the other in the regular season. The sweeping team is 11-5.

We also had a freak 0/15 on two goaline visits. Game was closer than you’d like to admit. We’ll see where the cards fall next weekend. 

So taking the ball away and getting a stop on downs is "freak"? Duly noted...

The last few times we've faced the Saints, they've scored in the range of 30 points a game.

For us to win, our offense probably needs to score 30 plus.

This will also be Lattimore's first game against y'all.

I was at the SuperDome a month ago for a regular season game and it was ear piercing loud. No way in hell we're beating NO at their house

Man, you should've heard it for the Christmas Eve game against the Falcons. It was easily top 3 of the loudest games I've been to.

    • 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
