No team had a better Week 1 performance or a worse postgame injury report than the Saints. No. 1 cornerback Marshon Lattimore, potent pass rusher Marcus Davenport and starting center Erik McCoy are expected to be out this week and possibly beyond. Those injuries, a COVID-19 outbreak among assistant coaches and a swarming young Panthers defense are the latest obstacles for an organization that has been on the road for three weeks. This game features the league's best two running backs and two quarterbacks I'm fascinated to see moving forward. Both defenses figure to generate pressure, but ultimately, I have more trust in the ability of Jameis Winston and the Saints' offensive line to handle it.

Panthers 31. Saints 30

Why not 

Payton is 10 times the NFL Coach Rhule is but players play.    Rhule needs to not get in there way 

The WRs and TEs have to show out this week…no drops, no miscommunications…I say that as they need to score not in the Redzone.  This OL is not going to bowl anyone over from 10 yards in.

Still, it’s a home game, it’s early and it’s Jameis, not Brees.

History has shown we need a great Panthers team to beat the Saints and we don't have that right now. Offense continues to frustrate in the red zone and I expect being dinked and dunked to death to negate our rush, plus gratuitous holding that isn't called. Our own turnovers will negate theirs and they'll score on them as well  I don't expect a victory this year but will be a litmus test in 2022 on whether we're going in the right direction.

Saints 34

Panthers 20

This feels like a  "come back to earth" game for us.

Hope I'm wrong, but that's my gut.

We beat the Jets by 5. We aren't exactly flying high, Scot. 

Saints - 31 
Panthers - 23 

We will struggle to keep up with the Saints and we'll miss another XP. I hope I'm wrong.

Glad this game is at the vault.

This is very painful, but true- for the last three years Iants have had the panthers number. This is the long list of top fives they hold- HC, RB, WR(missing this game), OL, DE, Punter and overall D is right around that mark as well(check the ranks). Their LB davis is one of the most underrated players in the league. Pair of great safetys. At every position group except TE/kicker they have a top five group or player. Facts are for the last two years Drew Brees has been the weak point(once his HGH wore off), they rode the D....

Panthers got a punchers chance.

This game could come down to the fans, they could win this game for the panthers.

We are gonna have to take away Kamara and make Jameis beat us. Put pressure on him like we did with Wilson and force him into mental mistakes. I know the Saints O-line is much better than that of the Jets but I truly think this group is primed for great things this year. Snow has to make sure they don't just dink and dunk all over us, and force them to beat us deep, which favors us because our DBs definitely have an advantage on their pass catchers, (at least without Thomas) which is something we haven't been able to brag about in a while.

I'd argue the Saints are better than last year with Famous Jameis beating Aaron Rodgers where the Panties beat who? The Jets...lol... Saints are Super Bowl bound where Carolina probably lands a top 3 pick and just remember you guys gave up your 2nd and 4th for Sam "the loser" Darnold. Games not even close. 

 

Saints - 45

Panties - 6

Not sure why everyone is feeling that Sam throws a pick in this game, especially with the Saints Top Corner being out.   (or is he?  Nah.  AsylumWeirdo thinks he'll be back so chances are that he'll be out. 😈)

I think the more likely scenario is Sam getting Sacked again thanks to the O-line.  

I do believe he will be better when he is in the redzone this time around, though again that's just me being hopeful so we'll see.

 

I think the "D" will give Lameis all he can handle but like others said, they need to slow down Kamara somehow to MAKE Jameis throw the ball.  

 

Hard to predict this one but considering that it's at home, I'm leaning toward Carolina pulling off a relatively close victory.

Something like a 38-27 sort of deal

I think Lameis gets picked off at least once which leads to TD-Scoring Drive by Sam. 

 

Hoping my scenario plays out.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
