Week 16 is in the books and its not one of our better weeks but we need to move on.

We play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and if we win, we lock up the 2nd seed in the NFC which means a 1st round bye and a home game for the divisional round.

Our defensive backs will be tested against Drew Brees because everyone and their grandmothers know that the Saints love to pass. The Saints rank 1st in points per game, 1st in pass yards, and 1st in total offensive yards. To build momentum leading into the playoffs, we need a confidence booster and that will be to shut down Drew Brees. Pierre Thomas has been coming along nicely for the Saints but he isn't Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs so our defensive game plan doesn't have to be focused on stopping the run. Our rushing attack needs to just show up and offensively we should have a nice day at the office. However, defensively, we have playing like complete poo as of late giving up 27½ points per game for the last 6 weeks. That stat is pathetic. On the contrary, the Saints have been scoring just under 33 points a game and a 4-2 record in the last 6 games. Their offense is hot and we need to prove to ourselves that we can stop a high powered offense to have any chance in the playoffs. If Brees even does remotely good, I'm going to punch Ken Lucas in his nose and make his eyes water a little bit.

Let's lock up the NFC South with our defense.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
