i'm one to take overall stats with a grain of salt. i like to look deeper into numbers and dig up crap that imo opinion tell the real story.

i believe this game is going to be decided by either team's rushing attack...even with brees at the helm for the saints.

first the obvious...

ranked 24th, carolina's run defense leaves much to be desired.

the not so obvious...

ranked 4th in rushing offense, new orleans is relentless with rushing the ball. they average 34 attempts a game. 27 attempts is the least they've run in a single game this season. that means even with probably the best passing attack in the league, they are not going to give up on the run...period. something carolina has finally decided to do (i think).

carolina, who now has decided to truly live or die by the run (i hope) is ranked 5th in rushing offense.

now the point to ponder...

the saints 11th ranked rush defense...injuries or no injuries, things are not quite what they seem.

these are what the opposing teams have done against the saints rushing defense each week. keep in mind, these are net rushing yards...not just numbers from a single starting RB.

week 1 - 33 yards 1.6 ypc

week 2 - 79 yards 3.6 ypc

week 3 - 89 yards 4.2 ypc

week 4 - 132 yards 4.9 ypc

week 5 -bye...time to rest

week 6 - 74 yards 4.4 ypc

week 7 - 137 yards 4.6 ypc

week 8 - 161 yards 6.7 ypc

anyone notice the trend?

      I hope you understand that this Anti Bryce thing as you call it is really a pro Panthers thing. I think I can safely use we. We want the best for the Panthers.  As far as this other post saying ‘Anti’ Bryce people do misinformation.. you mean like going all in on “Renfro should have caught” that poorly thrown ball? I guess it was week 1. And calling it a drop. Comical btw.  I wonder, did you call that out or let it slide because it aligned with your agenda?

      These are great posts with the comparisons and the numbers.   I haven’t lookyat Smity’s numbers since probably the first time he was on the ballot.  But if you watched every week you know what he is. Whatever his yardage or targets numbers were.  He was fuging dominant. I have watched since the AFL days and seen who there is to see. There are many great WRs over the years. GREAT WRs. Smitty is up there in the game of football.

      Smith is clear cut HOF if you judge what he did by reception. Fitzgerald was a stat padder.    The most Steve Smith was ever targeted in his career was in 2005 (150 targets). The same year he wins the triple crown.    Larry Fitzgerald was targeted more than 150 times over 9 separate seasons. Not once eclipsing 1500 yards in a season.    The over glazing of Larry Fitzgerald going around is way over blown. ARZ was top 10 in passing attempts nearly his entire prime. Steve Smith and Andre Johnson had it far worse and would have surpassed his #s in the same situation.
