Am I the only one who thinks yesterday’s loss could be a good thing?

The media is going to be calling us trash all week and are going to completely dismiss us from beating the Saints. This belittlement is only going to motivate Cam and everyone knows he plays best when he’s pissed off. 

If we had steam rolled the Falcons everyone would be praising us and our team would have no animosity to fuel from.

Also, I really don’t think the fact we have to play in New Orleans is going to have much of an effect on the outcome of this game. We have a 24-22 record all time vs the Saints with a 12-11 record both Home and Away.

This team is the epitome of being Jekyll or Hyde. We could beat anybody at any given time but we could also just as easily lose to anyone.

Two of our five losses were basically us beating ourselves. The Bears and the Falcons (yesterday) were cases where we just came out and made fools of ourselves on offense. Cam had lousy days and everyone collapsed around him (except for the defenses both times).

The other three (Saints, Eagles, Saints) were against top tier teams and we were toe-to-toe with the Eagles until the very end.

I hope this embarassing outing will get them knocked back on track, because you are right, we can beat just about anyone. Now it's time to do just that.

The poor showing against TB was supposed to be the wake up call and a good thing... Another terrible loss with bad momentum going into the playoffs AND blowing the chance at the division and a home game to kick it off is not a good thing... We are by no means out of it and I'm sure we won't roll over against the Aints -- it'll be competitive -- but yesterday gave us some serious cause for concern.

The Saints are very good but let's not forget they just lost to the Bucs with playoff positioning on the line similarly to how we lost to Atlanta.

This is going to be a serious grudge match. But only if our run game shows up. Otherwise expect more of the same, and Cam Newton taking all the blame.

There is literally nothing good about having to play the Saints on the road next week instead of the Falcons at home.

A demon is on one shoulder and an angel is on the other.  I don't know which is which. 

Both good points though.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
