Was watching Sportscenter and they were talking about the NFC playoff Picture and I didn't recognize the guy, but He said we would lose to the Saints? we freaking come within a gust of wind within beating the Giants and now they say we can't beat the Saints?

I don't know about you guys but that pissed me off:cuss:

Oh man, ESPN thinks we are nothing compared to all the other teams in the league, we could go 15-1 and they probably still think we'll lose the divisional playoff games in the same year... We get no respect whatsoever from the critics, but its ok because most of them are washed up and old football players or guys who always wanted to be football players and could not because they sucked....

One person does not equal ESPN.

this may shock you but when you have someone on your most watched show come out and talk he speaks for your company, plus ESPN wants the Falcons to win the division and that's why they got are rooting against us, what could be a better story for them then the Falcons winning the division this season.

My point is that there will be some analyst on ESPN that pick us, and some that will pick the Saints. And fwiw, I understand the pick. We are 3-4 on the road and coming off of a tough loss. The Saints have only lost once at home. Its natural that some will pick them. I think we will win, but its not a sure thing.

I seriously doubt the network really cares who wins, but they probably think the Falcons are a more interesting story with all the problems they have had over the last couple of years.

I actually like Trent Dilfer as an analyst and the man knows his NFL but I can't see the Saints winnning this game.

Their lockers are packed up and ready to go and the only thing they will care about is getting Brees the passing record. I think because of that they won't use Pierre Thomas like they should. Teams that have nothing to play for in the last week of the season rarely show up to play and I am not sure why this game would be any different. They are thinking about that family trip to the Caribean they are taking first thing Monday morning and I don't blame them. As long as the Panthers are ready for an air attack (and I am sure they will be) this game should not be an issue.

in the dome, on a fast track, with a struggling secondary and banged up defensive line, against a QB going for a huge record and a team with absolutely nothing to play for......

yeah, we're going down.

The Saints are more banged up than we are. If we come out like we did against the Giants and get an early lead, the Saints will likely give up since they don't have anything to play for anyway.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
