Film Room: Saints MNF Game

Recommended Posts

There has been a little bit of turnover since this game, but a lot of the key pieces are still in place, especially in the secondary. It was one of the more impressive defensive games over the last couple years from the Panthers. So, we tried to draw a few lessons from it. We have another analysis coming up tomorrow, as we take a closer look at what Atlanta did to New Orleans couple weeks ago.

I agree, the effort was far superior in this game. The two games you mentioned, the disappointing part about those games was how slow and lost the defense looked at times.

Sometimes in this league, you have to win a low scoring game. They did that in Houston this year, but that was largely due to Bill O’Brien abandoning the run. 

If this defense ever truly wants to be considered elite, they have to be able to win games like this. Otherwise, it’s not sustainable.

    • We had Darnold in a terrible situation for Sam Darnold and the team he's QBing. Darnold is best deployed as a high level game manager. He has elite throwing skills but he's disaster waiting to happen when he has to press and a QB has to press on a bad team. Seattle is a great spot for him surrounded with great weapons with an elite defense to lean on.  Swap him and Stafford last night and the Seahawks cruise while Darnold has 3-4 turnovers having to try to play hero ball for the Rams.
    • This picture was posted by the NFL back in September and shows Darnold and Maye at the front closest to the Lombardi trophy. I personally don’t believe in the “script” theory. I do believe that the NFL will influence specific games to get a more entertaining outcome at times. However, this is gaining some steam online and even got a response from NFL PR.  
    • In the last 5 years, nearly 10% of the NFL's starting QBs (19% of the NFC QBs) were / are (at some point) on the Panther's roster.  Of those QBs, their 2025 win percentage (regular season) was (combined-- the Seahawks, Bucs, and Panthers) won 30 of 51 games--nearly 60%--in 2025.  At an average of 10 wins per season, a team has a better than 90% chance of making the playoffs.  (Heck, I nearly added Caleb Williams to this forumula since we basically gave the Bears their QB as well).
