Panthers open at +14.5 (love it) and quickly moves to +13.5 (still love it)

I think we have a chance to win this game outright.

Reasons:

  1. Saints run D is weak at best. They rely on turnovers (Jake and special teams this is you)

  2. We have always played the Saints well. We know them and have been able to keep Brees in check (not including the 2nd half of the last years regular season finale in which prevent was implemented at halftime)

  3. Saints are due for a loss. Does anyone know our record in domes???? Would love to see that.

Cant wait for Sunday.

Our run D might be not be strong again in this game if Clancy and Fujita (Ellis will be out for sure) are out, but we're still ranked 11th in the league. We gave up one long run to Ricky Williams in the Dolphin game (gave up 27 yards on 14 wildcat plays in that game). And yes, Turner gashed us, but I wouldn't call our run D weak. Carolina? They're 24th going against the run vs. the No. 4 rushing attack.

Going into last week the Cardinals had the #1 rushing defense. We did OK I think.

We play much better ageist teams that throw the ball and make big plays then we do ageist teams that dink and dunk and run the ball. Our whole D is set up to stop big plays.

Likewise our Offense is set up to run and use play action to set up big plays.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
