Hey guys here is a great break down of the Panthers vs saints tomorrow that I personally respect and find highly accurate. 

 

Quickhits: saints rushing totals were deceiving. Ingram was avg 1 yard per carry against us. That 72 yard run was only because the refs neglected to call an obvious holding penalty that let Ingram free.  

 

Kamara was only going to have 1 TD and 30 yards if 2 of the holding plays were flagged by refs

 I do not expect for these holding calls to be neglected again.

 

I also do not expect 2 turnovers on special teams to happen again which gave the saints short field twice. 

Also our run defense is amazing! Ron has coached these guys up along with Steve wilks. We know new Orleans like a glove and their center is their key to their run game. We have to literally throw him off his path and allow the Line Backers to do their job.  This is why Wilks kept the 4-3 base defense in against the saints. This is what was required to stop their rushing attack. 

31- 28 Panthers

we're playing in new orleans and for some reason the league/refs like them more than us despite bountygate.

good to know about the run D, but i don't have the same faith in the refs you do to call it fair and square.

i do think that all three phases show up stronger than they've been in a while and it will be a better game this time around. i just think the refs will play more of a factor than they should in the outcome of the game. i've got no faith that those zebras will ever call a square game.

both atlanta (last week) and new orleans obviously schemed around what we do.

i don't think that's something that we make a habit of, which will always hold us back. our philosophy is to do what we're going to do and not let the other team "dictate" what we do. i just don't think that's solid strategy.

There is just no way that anyone can predict how tightly the refs call this game.  If the Saints hold, they very well could get away with it.  That's 3 plays of obvious holds and none of them were called.  It can't be that the refs didn't see the plays.  They either didn't see these as egregious offenses or they chose the let the Saints get away with it.  Panthers can't control that.  Hopefully, if the refs miss a call like that, they will recognize it and make up for it with a future call.

Two points:

1.  If our LBs and Safeties make tackles on those zone run plays, instead of miss tackles, that will mitigate some of the issue.  There were a lot of missed tackles in week 13 that led to those longer runs.

2.  We cannot lose the turnover battle.  We had 2 special teams TOs in week 13 that killed momentum and gave the Saints a short field.

Limiting mistakes will keep Brees off the field and give Cam and Co a chance to work.

I think we will have a more robust plan than we did against the Falcons.  It's time to go full tilt on every drive and hold nothing back.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
