Saints at Panthers - What Saints Fans Are Saying

This week the Carolina Panthers host division rival New Orleans Saints in a matchup that is sure to frustrate both team. Division games are rarely one sided and can be some of the best action of the entire season. 

Let us now see what fans of the New Orleans Saints are saying. 

 

Quote

Our division rivals in Carolina and TB have more firepower than any team we’ll see all season which makes it problematic with all of our defensive injuries. It'll turn into a shootout if we can't contain CMac and not one that I think we'll come out on top of. Eliminate CMac and get pressure and we'll be fine.

Isn't it strange to see other fans talk about how much firepower the Carolina Panthers have? I think it is. In my opinion, teams need to be far more worried about the Panthers defense at this point. If the Panthers can pressure Jameis early, he will revert to Tampa Bay Jameis and the game will be won. 

 

 

Quote

Panthers OL is inconsistent at best… and a sieve at worst. The Saints have an advantage there. The Jets kept it close and they have ZERO pass rush. The Saints will stress that OL.

If Darnold gets even a little rattled, the Saints defense will have opportunities to take advantage. The Panthers have good WRs, but so did the Packers… and Darnold is no Rodgers.

The Panthers are going to run everything thru CMC… if he gets off, it could be a very close game. He’s always dangerous… they’ll give him a bunch of carries and receptions… then they’ll take shots downfield to Moore and Anderson.

On offense, the Saints will have to take what is given. The Panthers will focus on Kamara and force Winston to play mistake-free football again. With solid LBs and Chinn at Safety, they could contain AK41. Winston will have to get the WRs going, and Taysom Hill could play a bigger role as an offensive weapon (with AK on the field at the same time).

Some pretty decent points here. Yes, the Panthers offensive line is really bad. But the Jets strength is their defensive line so I don't agree with them having zero pass rush. 

The Panthers practice against CMC every day. The Saints practice against Kamara every day. Both defenses are well versed in stopping a multi use premier runningback. Will be interesting to watch. 

 

Quote

Saints have won 10 straight NFCS games in the regular season, until someone knocks them off, I have no reason to doubt them:

Saints 26
Car 11

Can't really argue with this. The Saints are an established team. The Panthers are up and coming (we hope). The Panthers won't be ready for prime time until they can at least split with New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

Panthers are a good young team that believes in its coaches. Dangerous combo. I’m worried about this game.

Carolina defense looks solid. I think Saints D can rattle Darnold, but the away Carolina game always worries me.

Quite a few Saints fans are paying attention to what is actually happening in Carolina. Solid coaching, solid defense, solid run game. That is never an easy combination to go up against.

I don't know what's more satisfying; that for the first time in I don't know how long, our rivals fear our offensive firepower, or the fact that they're totally overlooking our defense.

I'm impressed that they think our LB Corps looks solid, and am even more surprised that I agree. 

And I really hope after all this, it doesn't come down to the kicking game to decide it.

LOL at the Panthers only scoring 11 points. If we only score 11 points, something has gone terribly wrong. We should've hung 30+ on the Jets, but now that Darnold has shaken the cobwebs off, I'm thinking 17 is a floor.

Having Miller back and not Daley on the right side should help things a whole heck of a lot. Replacing your worst performer with an average performer is pretty significant.

I'd be super happy to see our defense continue their rise against the Saints.  I do think that if you pressure Jameis, he will make poor decisions.

Kinda like our guy actually, though I think Sam isn't quite the turnover machine Jameis can be.

Close game I think / hope, and I believe the game will be decided by whichever defense can get the most consistent pressure on their opponent.

Yeah especially with Lattimore and Davenport out. I'd be shocked if we don't put up 20+.

Is Lattimore not playing? I read he came back in with cast last week and played. I could see him playing right?

Correct.  He has not been ruled out.  That said, newly acquired Bradley Roby is active for the game.  The Saints just traded for him from the Texans as part of their fire sale.  He immediately becomes the #2 CB behind Lattimore on the roster.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
