Have we done enough to beat the Saints?

have always said with Norv, the O would get better as the season gets on.  Wouldn't take shape until midseason.

Same can be said for a first time playcaller in Washington.  There is a learning curve.  We talent to get to the QB....we have time to get better.  We have time for him to learn how to get to the QB.  Past few years was largely scheme and well timed blitzing being part of that.  We can get there. 

Exactly. We don't have to be good enough to be the Saints today. We have to be good enough to best Tampa next Sunday. When we play the Saints at the end of the season we have to be good enough to beat them at that point. We are trending up. With all three new coordinators we are improving week to week.

It's still gonna be a shootout unless we can get pressure with our front four, which we can't. We can compete with the Saints though, and the game will come down to who gets the turnovers and runs the ball better.

Very rarely do we sack Brees, he get the ball out quicker than that. It's not so much the pass rush, as the lineman have to get their hands/arms up when brees throws the ball.

for the record you are an idiot, always have been. I used to go by the handle charlottenian back in the day, was on this site when it was PanthersHuddle and still remember the day when Jeff Lewis was the answer to our prayers from the Broncos. I just don't wear Black/Blue filtered glasses as I try to be a non-objective fan. I love the Panthers, we aren't ready for matching up with them personnel wise.

I know when Jeff Lewis came to the Panthers do you? Pre huddle FYI, and people on other Boards were universally against the move. Probably one of the, if not the most hated move in panthers history.

Youve posted yourself in other teams jerseys on multiple occasions. So quit the objective fan BS. You also posted selfies as Alice and as your current screen name since then. Y’all are the same person regardless of what you say now.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
